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 Heimtrainer EB140 B ist ein leiser Einsteiger-Heimtrainer mit App-Steuerung: Kinomap verstellt die motorische Magnetbremse über Bluetooth FTMS selbst. Für lockere Einheiten bis 110 kg und etwa 1,80 m reicht er gut. Der Haken: Selbst auf Stufe 15 bleibt der Widerstand für Sprints zu schwach, dazu kommen ein harter Sattel und ein Rahmen, der bei schnellem Treten wackelt.
Pros
- Kinomap verstellt den Widerstand per Bluetooth FTMS automatisch
- Leiser Riemenantrieb, in Tests unter 40 dB
- Ersatzteile 10 Jahre lieferbar, Reparaturvideos zu 14 Bauteilen
- Tiefeinstieg und Q-Faktor von 20 cm schonen Knie und Hüfte
- Weitgehend vormontiert, Aufbau allein in rund 45 Minuten
- 7 Konsolenprogramme für Training ohne Tablet
Cons
- Widerstand selbst auf Stufe 15 für Sprints zu schwach
- Harter Sattel, nur in der Höhe verstellbar
- Rahmen wackelt bei hoher Trittfrequenz
- Zählfehler und Verbindungsabbrüche in den Apps
- Handsensoren liefern unzuverlässige Pulswerte
Der Domyos EB520 B ist ein leiser, vernetzter Heimtrainer ohne Steckdose, bei dem Kinomap über Bluetooth FTMS den motorischen Widerstand an Steigungen selbst nachstellt. Er taugt für Einsteiger und lockeres Ausdauertraining in der Wohnung. Der Haken: Der Serien-Sattel schmerzt schon nach 30 min, der Q-Faktor von 22 cm ist breit und Watt fehlen ganz – plan einen Ersatzsattel und einen Brustgurt gleich mit ein.
Pros
- Läuft ohne Steckdose, Standort frei wählbar
- Kinomap steuert den motorischen Widerstand über Bluetooth FTMS
- Sehr leiser, runder Lauf durch Riemen und Magnetbremse
- Tiefer Einstieg und stabiler Stand auch bei hoher Trittfrequenz
- Ersatzteile laut Hersteller bis 10 Jahre lieferbar, 13 Baugruppen selbst tauschbar
- Empfängt Bluetooth-Brustgurt für genaue Pulswerte
Cons
- Serien-Gelsattel im Test schon nach 30 min schmerzhaft
- Q-Faktor von 22 cm breit, ungünstig für empfindliche Knie
- Keine Wattanzeige und keine Wattsteuerung
- Laute Pieptöne beim Anfahren und Anhalten
- Sattel nur in der Höhe verstellbar, Höchstwiderstand für Sportler zu gering
