Cross Training Bike
Kliva 800-S
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.
Magnetic brake

Verdict
Pros & cons
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
Das Skandika Kliva 800-S ist ein sportliches Indoor Bike, dessen Motor den ganzen Rahmen von -10,5 bis +9,6 % neigt. Mit Kinomap folgen Neigung und Magnetbremse automatisch der Strecke, das macht virtuelle Anstiege körperlich spürbar. Nach 30 Gratistagen brauchst du dafür ein Abo. Aus unserer Sicht hat es klare Haken: keine feste Wattvorgabe und ein breiter Q-Faktor von 20,5 cm.
Pros
- Motor neigt den ganzen Rahmen in 16 Stufen von -10,5 bis +9,6 %
- Kinomap steuert Widerstand und Neigung automatisch per Bluetooth
- Berührungslose Magnetbremse mit 32 elektrisch verstellten Stufen
- Tasten am Rennlenker für Widerstand und Neigung, auch im Wiegetritt
- Schwungrad hinten außerhalb der Schweißzone
- Laut Hersteller belastbar bis 150 kg
Cons
- Keine feste Wattvorgabe, die Leistung hängt an der Trittfrequenz
- Breiter Q-Faktor von 20,5 cm erzwingt eine breitbeinige Haltung
- Nur Pedalkörbe mit Riemen, kein Klicksystem
- Lenker nur in der Höhe verstellbar, Reichweite allein über den Sattel
- Volle Kinomap-Steuerung nach 30 Tagen nur mit Abo
