TypeErgometer: speed-independent, watt-controlled – the set power stays the same regardless of pedaling cadence; exercise bike: resistance depends on speed

Form factorBasic design according to the manufacturer: upright, semi-recumbent with backrest, or folding X-bike
Upright
Recumbent (chair-style)
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 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
Das NordicTrack GX10 ist ein komfortabler Heimtrainer mit Rückenlehne, kein Ergometer mit Wattsteuerung. Es passt zu dir, wenn du bequem sitzend trainieren und Kurse auf dem 10-Zoll-Touchscreen verfolgen willst, auch bei bis zu 159 kg. Der Haken: Die automatische Widerstandsanpassung läuft nur über iFit, nach 30 Tagen also nur mit Abo.
Pros
- Übergroßer Polstersitz mit Lendenstütze entlastet Rücken und Gesäß
- Motorische Magnetbremse mit 24 Stufen, per Software automatisch steuerbar
- Belastbar bis 159 kg laut Hersteller
- 10-Zoll-Touchscreen, groß genug für Kursvideos aus der Liegeposition
- Ventilator und zwei Lautsprecher für längere Einheiten
- Breite Pedale mit verstellbaren Schlaufen, Schnelltasten am Lenker
Cons
- Smart Adjust nur mit iFit, Mitgliedschaft nur 30 Tage inklusive
- 170,7 cm lang und 84,4 kg schwer, braucht festen Stellplatz
