Resistance systemType of brake and how it is adjusted: magnetic via rotary knob (manual), magnetic via console (motorized) or induction for the finest gradation. Manufacturers also call induction ECB, eddy current or electromagnetic brake – even when “magnetic brake” is in the name; the motorized magnet is also called SMR or digital resistance. If the resistance adjusts itself during a workout (auto resistance, auto-follow, control via app), the adjustment is motorized – never “Magnetic, manual”.

Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Domyos Essential EB 120 ist ein schlichter Heimtrainer mit Magnetbremse per Drehknopf, der für kurze, gelegentliche Einheiten reicht. Er steht kompakt in der Ecke, läuft mit Batterien und lässt sich dank langer Ersatzteilversorgung reparieren. Der Haken: harter Sattel und ruckeliger Tritt mit nur 4 kg Schwungmasse. Ab etwa 180 cm Körpergröße wird die Haltung wegen des festen Lenkers unbequem.

Pros

  • Kompakt, passt mit knapp 1 m Länge in eine Zimmerecke
  • Batteriebetrieb, keine Steckdose nötig
  • Aufbau allein in unter 45 Minuten
  • Leiser, wartungsarmer Riemenantrieb
  • Laut Hersteller 5 Jahre Garantie auf den Rahmen
  • Ersatzteile wie Sattel und Pedale laut Tests über 10 Jahre nachbestellbar

Cons

  • Sehr harter Sattel, in Tests Sitzschmerzen nach rund 30 Minuten
  • Nur 4 kg Schwungmasse, Tritt läuft spürbar ruckelig
  • Geringer Widerstand, die 7 Stufen unterscheiden sich kaum
  • Fester Lenker, ab etwa 180 cm unbequeme Haltung
  • Knack- und Knarrgeräusche sowie Wackeln nach längerer Nutzung

Der Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B220030 ist ein einfacher, aufrechter Heimtrainer mit Sattelverstellung in Höhe und Länge und kostenloser SunnyFit-App. Für lockeres Einsteigertraining reicht das, insgesamt bleibt er aber nur mit Vorbehalt brauchbar: Mehrfach berichtet wird von abspringenden oder reißenden Antriebsriemen, einmal schon nach 4 Monaten. Dazu kommen ein leichter Rahmen mit viel Kunststoff und Puls nur über Handsensoren.

Pros

  • Sattel in Höhe und Länge verstellbar
  • Kostenlose SunnyFit-App mit Videos und Datenaufzeichnung
  • Aufrechte Sitzposition für ruhiges Ausdauertraining
  • Kompakte Stellfläche von 98 x 59,4 cm
  • Werkzeug, Anleitung und Aufbauvideo vom Hersteller
  • Kundendienst in einem Bericht schnell und hilfsbereit

Cons

  • Antriebsriemen sprang ab oder riss, einmal schon nach 4 Monaten
  • Tritt in einem Bericht als ruckelig und knieunfreundlich beschrieben
  • Leichter Rahmen mit 20,4 kg und viel Kunststoff
  • Puls nur über ungenaue Handsensoren
  • Keine Widerstandsregelung durch Apps, nur Datenübertragung
