Cross Training Bike
Resistance systemBraking principle according to the manufacturer: magnetic (contactless, quiet), friction (felt or leather brake on the flywheel) or electromagnetic with motorized adjustment. Manufacturers also call the electromagnetic brake ECB or eddy current brake. If a motor adjusts the resistance – it adapts itself during a workout (auto resistance, auto-follow, control via app) –, this counts as “Electromagnetic (motorized)”, even if the manufacturer only speaks of a magnetic brake; “Magnetic brake” means adjustment via knob or lever.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Das NordicTrack Studio Bike 24 ist ein sehr leises Smart Bike mit drehbarem 24-Zoll-Touchscreen, auf dem Kurse und Google-Maps-Routen den Widerstand automatisch einstellen. Wir halten es für eine gute Wahl, wenn du iFIT dauerhaft nutzen willst. Der Haken: Ohne Abo bleibt wenig übrig, den Widerstand regelst du nur am Display, und Schluss ist bei 114 kg.
Pros
- Sehr leiser, runder Lauf durch Magnetbremse und Riemenantrieb
- 24-Zoll-Touchscreen dreh- und kippbar, auch für Training neben dem Rad
- Widerstand folgt automatisch iFIT-Kursen und Google-Maps-Höhenprofilen
- Stabil im Wiegetritt dank rund 63 kg Gerätegewicht
- Kombi-Pedale für SPD-Radschuhe und Sportschuhe, Cleats liegen bei
- Ein Abo deckt bis zu fünf Profile ab
Cons
- Ohne iFIT-Abo nur manueller Modus mit Distanz und Geschwindigkeit
- Laut Hersteller nur bis 114 kg Körpergewicht
- Widerstand nur per Touchscreen, kein Drehknopf, keine Lenkertasten
- Lenker nur in der Höhe verstellbar, gibt beim Sprint leicht nach
- Display spiegelt deutlich bei Licht von vorn oder der Seite
Das Peloton Cross Training Bike ist ein solides, ruhig laufendes Kursrad mit drehbarem 21,5-Zoll-Touchscreen für Übungen auf der Matte. Es passt zu dir, wenn du Struktur durch Kurse suchst und das Abo dauerhaft einplanst. Der Haken: Den Widerstand drehst du von Hand, und das geschlossene System bindet keine anderen Trainingsplattformen an.
Pros
- Ruhiger, ruckelfreier Lauf auch bei hoher Trittfrequenz
- Rahmen bleibt im Wiegetritt und bei Sprints stabil
- Touchscreen mit 21,5 Zoll um 360° drehbar für Mattenübungen
- Großes, fein filterbares Kursangebot von Rad bis Yoga
- Peloton IQ erstellt Wochenpläne und Auswertungen
- Datenaustausch mit Apple Health, Garmin Connect und Fitbit
Cons
- Ohne All-Access-Mitgliedschaft stark eingeschränkt, Gebühr wurde mehrfach erhöht
- Widerstand nur per Drehregler, keine Steigungssimulation
- Nur mit der Peloton-App nutzbar, kein Zwift oder Kinomap
- Nicht klappbar und rund 81 kg schwer
- Radschuhe und Hanteln nicht im Lieferumfang
