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
Der JOROTO MR280PRO ist ein klappbares Wasser-Rudergerät aus Eiche, das leise und gleichmäßig läuft und zusammengeklappt nur 54 x 44,5 cm Stellfläche braucht. Für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene in der Wohnung halten wir es für eine solide Wahl. Der Haken: Den Widerstand regeln nur Füllmenge und Tempo, sehr Trainierten fehlt die Reserve nach oben, und der Monitor ist unbeleuchtet.
Pros
- Leiser Wasserwiderstand, nebenbei fernsehen bleibt in Tests möglich
- Klappt auf 54 x 44,5 cm, ohne den Tank zu leeren
- Gleichmäßiger Zug dank ruhigem Gurtzug und stabiler Doppelschiene
- Bluetooth FTMS für viele Apps, Hersteller-App ohne Abo
- Brustgurt zur Pulsmessung im Lieferumfang
- Zu 90 % vormontiert, Aufbau in wenigen Minuten
Cons
- Kein Widerstandsregler, wenig Reserve für sehr trainierte Ruderer
- LCD-Monitor unbeleuchtet, tief montiert und ohne Trainingsprogramme
- Sehr niedriger Sitz verlangt beim Aufstehen eine tiefe Kniebeuge
- Fußriemen lockern sich bei längeren Einheiten
- Nur 1 Jahr Garantie
