Verdict
Pros & cons
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
Das JOROTO MR60 ist ein solides Mittelklasse-Rudergerät für Große: Die 126 cm lange Schiene und der stabile Rahmen aus Stahl und Aluminium tragen auch kräftige Züge, das Luftrad sorgt für ein lebendiges Rudergefühl. Der Haken liegt bei der kaum abgestuften Magnetbremse und dem dunklen Display. Geklappt braucht es noch 120 x 52 x 170 cm, und die Garantie beträgt laut Hersteller nur 1 Jahr.
Pros
- 126 cm lange Schiene, in Erfahrungsberichten auch bei 203 cm Körpergröße ausreichend
- Luftrad plus Magnetbremse ergibt lebendigeres Rudergefühl als reine Magnetgeräte
- Rahmen aus Stahl und Aluminium bleibt in Tests auch bei kräftigen Zügen stabil
- Offenes Bluetooth FTMS für Kinomap und weitere Apps
- Gurtzug aus Nylon läuft ruhiger und pflegeärmer als eine Kette
- Per Lösepedal ohne Werkzeug klappbar, mit Transportrollen
Cons
- Zehn Magnetstufen unterscheiden sich in Tests kaum, Grundwiderstand fehlt
- Display dunkel und kontrastarm, Beleuchtung erlischt nach wenigen Sekunden
- Geklappt noch 120 x 52 x 170 cm Platzbedarf
- Watt- und Kalorienwerte nur grob geschätzt, Anzeige endet bei 385 W
- Pedale aus Kunststoff, vereinzelt Brüche; laut Hersteller nur 1 Jahr Garantie
