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

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 Hammer Cardio XT6 BT ist ein echtes Ergometer mit Wattsteuerung von 10 bis 350 W, dessen Widerstand Kinomap und Zwift automatisch regeln. Wenn du als Einsteiger, Senior oder in der Reha allein trainierst, passt er dank tiefem Einstieg und leisem Lauf gut. Der Haken: Die Wattanzeige lag im Test rund 10 % zu hoch, und ein Speicher für mehrere Nutzer fehlt.
Pros
- Drehzahlunabhängige Wattsteuerung von 10 bis 350 W
- Kinomap und Zwift regeln den Widerstand automatisch, ohne Abo
- Tiefer Einstieg erleichtert das Aufsteigen bei steifer Hüfte
- Leiser Lauf mit 40 bis 42 dB im Test
- Runder Tritt bis zur Höchstlast dank 8 kg Schwungmasse
- Sattel in Höhe und Länge verstellbar
Cons
- Wattanzeige im Test 7 bis 11 % zu hoch
- Kein Speicher für mehrere Nutzer, Daten vor jedem Pulsprogramm neu eingeben
- Puls ab Werk nur über Handsensoren, Brustgurt liegt nicht bei
- Lenker nur in der Neigung verstellbar
- Vereinzelt Knackgeräusche beim Treten beschrieben
Der Horizon Fitness 5.0Ui ist ein aufrechter Heimtrainer mit Induktionsbremse, Tiefeinstieg und gutem Sitzkomfort, der Zwift und Kinomap per Bluetooth FTMS ohne Geräte-Abo mit Daten versorgt. Für ruhiges Ausdauertraining im Sitzen, auch für Ältere und Menschen bis 136 kg, halten wir ihn für eine solide Wahl. Der Haken: keine pulsgesteuerten Programme, dazu eine umständliche Konsole und nur 1 Jahr Garantie.
Pros
- Tiefeinstieg ohne Querstange erleichtert Älteren und nach OPs den Aufstieg
- Sattel in Höhe und Länge sowie Lenker verstellbar, passt auch mit 1,93 m
- Bluetooth FTMS sendet Daten an Zwift, Kinomap und Peloton ohne Geräte-Abo
- Induktionsbremse läuft sehr leise, gut für hellhörige Wohnungen
- Belastbarkeit laut Hersteller 136 kg
- Tablethalter, USB-Ladeport, Ventilator und Flaschenhalter an Bord
Cons
- Keine pulsgesteuerten Programme trotz Brustgurt-Empfang
- Konsole wenig intuitiv, Puls und Strecke nicht gleichzeitig sichtbar
- Nur 1 Jahr Garantie für ein Gerät mit viel Elektronik
