Verdict
Pros & cons
Das Dripex Wasser-Rudergerät ist ein schwerer, wackelfreier Holzrahmen für lockeres bis zügiges Ausdauertraining in der Wohnung, der sich nach dem Training zusammenklappen lässt. Der Haken: Selbst mit vollem Tank bleibt der Widerstand für Kräftige zu mild. Dazu kommen schwache Fußschlaufen und ein tiefer Sitz. Wir halten es daher für eine Empfehlung mit Einschränkung, vor allem für Einsteiger.
Pros
- Massivholzrahmen mit rund 25 kg liegt auch bei schnellen Zügen ruhig
- Sitz läuft auf der Doppelschiene gleichmäßig und ohne Ruckeln
- Schiene klappt in Sekunden um 180 Grad zusammen
- Wasser rauscht gleichmäßig, in der Wohnung gut nutzbar
- Sendet Daten per Bluetooth an Kinomap und Zwift
- Aufbau in Tests nach 30 bis 45 Minuten erledigt
Cons
- Widerstand bleibt auch bei vollem Tank für Kräftige mild
- Fußschlaufen geben nach, kleine Füße rutschen in den Schalen
- Schlichter Monitor ohne Wattanzeige, Kalorien nur geschätzt
- Sehr tiefer Sitz und scharfe Holzkante an der Seitenschiene
- Belastbarkeit widersprüchlich angegeben, Anleitungen nennen 110 bis 120 kg
Das Hammer RowTech NorsK ist ein leises, hochklappbares Magnet-Rudergerät für Ausdauertraining in der Wohnung. Die 117 cm lange Schiene reicht auch für große Menschen, Kinomap koppelt per Bluetooth FTMS. Der Haken ist der schlichte LCD-Computer ohne Watt-Anzeige mit nur einem Nutzerprofil. Außerdem fehlt ein eigener Fachtest, die Befunde stammen von der Smart-Variante.
Pros
- Sehr ruhiger Lauf durch Magnetbremse und Gurtzug, laut Datenblatt 57,3 dB
- Hochgeklappt nur 100 x 50 cm Stellfläche, mit Transportrollen
- 117 cm lange Schiene für den vollen Beinstoß großer Menschen
- Kinomap über Bluetooth FTMS, Hersteller-Kurse ohne Abo
- 16 Stufen elektronisch per Taste verstellbar, gut für Intervalle
- Drei Griffweiten für unterschiedliche Muskelreize
Cons
- Schlichtes LCD ohne Videofunktion, für Kurse ist ein eigenes Tablet nötig
- Kein Watt-Wert, Kalorien nur geschätzt (Genauigkeitsklasse C)
- Nur ein Nutzerprofil speicherbar
- Brustgurt für Pulsprogramme nicht im Lieferumfang
- Maximaler Widerstand nicht angegeben, kein eigener Fachtest vorhanden
