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 ProForm Carbon EL ist ein leiser, rund laufender Crosstrainer mit Frontantrieb, 18 motorischen Stufen und iFit-Anbindung. Er passt zu dir, wenn du ein Tablet besitzt und mit iFit trainieren willst – dann regelt der Kurs den Widerstand selbst. Der Haken: ohne Abo nur manuelles Training, denn Programme und Bluetooth FTMS fehlen, und samt Freiraum belegt er rund 3,5 x 1,8 m.

Pros

  • Sehr leiser Lauf ohne Schleifgeräusche, geeignet für Mietwohnungen
  • Runder Lauf trotz nur 6,8 kg Schwungrad
  • Stabiler Stahlrahmen mit 80 kg Eigengewicht, wackelt auch bei kräftigem Tempo nicht
  • Sehr geringer Pedalabstand und extra breite Pedale
  • Automatische Widerstandsanpassung über iFit-Kurse
  • Bewegliche und feste Griffe, Tablet-Halter, USB-C-Port und Lautsprecher

Cons

  • Keine eingebauten Programme und kein Bluetooth FTMS für freie Apps
  • Feste Schrittlänge von 48 cm und keine Rampe bei der EU-Variante
  • Ungleichmäßige Sprünge zwischen den 18 Widerstandsstufen
  • Großer Platzbedarf von rund 3,5 x 1,8 m samt Freiraum
  • Aufwendige Montage, Pulsmessung nur über Handsensoren

Der Skandika Crosstrainer Treliv P22 ist ein stimmiger Mittelklasse-Crosstrainer im Holzdesign mit 51 cm Schrittlänge, laut Hersteller nur 5,8 cm Pedalabstand und motorischer Magnetbremse samt Wattsteuerung. Mit 63 kg steht er ruhig und passt so gut ins Wohnzimmer. Der Haken: Bei 135 kg Belastbarkeit bleibt für schwere Nutzer kaum Reserve, und ob Kinomap den Widerstand selbst regelt, ist nicht belegt.

Pros

  • Schrittlänge von 51 cm passt auch Nutzern ab 1,90 m
  • Pedalabstand laut Hersteller nur 5,8 cm, gut für kleinere Menschen
  • Motorische Magnetbremse mit 32 gleichmäßig und leise wechselnden Stufen
  • Wattgesteuertes Programm hält die Leistung unabhängig vom Tempo
  • 63 kg Eigengewicht für einen ruhigen Stand
  • Holzoptik wirkt im Wohnraum weniger nach Fitnessstudio

Cons

  • Belastbarkeit von 135 kg laut Hersteller ohne Reserve
  • Automatische Widerstandsregelung durch Kinomap nicht belegt
  • Aufbau zeitaufwendig
  • Brustgurt für die Pulsprogramme nicht im Lieferumfang
  • Schrittlänge nicht verstellbar
