Cykling P8-H Comfort
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 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
Das Skandika Cykling P8-H Comfort ist ein bequemes Liegeergometer mit Tiefeinstieg für ruhiges Ausdauertraining. Rückenlehne, 7,5 cm Sitzpolster und der Einstieg ohne Beinschwung passen gut zu Älteren und zu Einsteigern nach langer Pause. Der Haken: keine Wattsteuerung, keine Wattanzeige, Puls an der Konsole nur über Handsensoren und eine Belastbarkeit von nur 120 kg.
Pros
- Tiefeinstieg ohne Beinschwung, hilfreich bei steifer Hüfte oder unsicherem Stand
- Rückenlehne und 7,5 cm dick gepolsterter Sitz für lange Einheiten
- Magnetbremse mit Riemenantrieb, laut Hersteller sehr leise und verschleißfrei
- Sitz per Hebel längs verstellbar für 150 bis 195 cm
- Mit 125 x 66 cm kompakt für ein Liegeergometer
- Bluetooth-Anbindung an Kinomap mit Tablet-Halter, 30 Tage ohne Abo
Cons
- Belastbarkeit nur bis 120 kg, wenig Puffer für Schwerere
- Keine Wattsteuerung und keine Wattanzeige, Kalorien nur grob geschätzt
- Puls an der Konsole nur über träge Handsensoren, Brustgurt nur per App
- Kinomap steuert den Widerstand nicht selbst, nach dem Gratismonat Abo nötig
- Q-Faktor 22 cm und keine Höhenverstellung des Sitzes
