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 ProForm Studio Smart Power 10.0 ist ein solides Indoor Bike mit stabilem Stahlrahmen, dessen Widerstand iFit-Kurse und Bordprogramme selbst über 22 Stufen regeln. Es taugt für dich, wenn du angeleitete Kurse magst und das Abo fest einplanst. Der Haken: Zwift und Peloton laufen nicht, und ohne Abo speichert der Touchscreen keine einzige Einheit.

Pros

  • Stabiler Stahlrahmen mit rund 52 kg, bleibt in Tests auch bei hartem Training ruhig
  • Motorisch verstellte Magnetbremse mit 22 Stufen, von iFit und Bordprogrammen gesteuert
  • Schwenkbarer 10-Zoll-Touchscreen, auch für Hantelübungen neben dem Bike
  • Leiser, wartungsarmer Riemenantrieb statt Kette
  • HDMI-Ausgang laut Handbuch für das Bild auf dem Fernseher
  • Sattel in Höhe und Länge verstellbar, Schrittlänge 69 bis 99 cm

Cons

  • Voller Funktionsumfang nur mit kostenpflichtigem iFit-Abo
  • Keine Anbindung an Zwift, Peloton oder andere offene Apps
  • Ohne Abo werden keine Einheiten gespeichert, kein USB oder Speicher
  • Ab Werk nur Pedale mit Körben, keine SPD-Klickpedale
  • Belastbarkeit laut Hersteller nur bis 114 kg

Das Schwinn 700IC ist ein rein mechanisches Speedbike mit 18,1 kg Schwungscheibe, das im Test rund läuft und im Wiegetritt fest steht. Aus unserer Sicht passt es, wenn du nach Gefühl und Trittfrequenz trainierst und zwischen etwa 165 und 190 cm groß bist. Der Haken: keine Wattanzeige, keine App-Verbindung, und die Filzbremse wird unter Last lauter und verschleißt.

Pros

  • Gleichmäßiger Tritt ohne tote Punkte durch 18,1 kg Schwungscheibe
  • Rahmen bleibt bei 46,7 kg auch im Wiegetritt ruhig
  • Sattel und Lenker in Höhe und Länge verstellbar
  • Kombipedale mit SPD und Körbchen, Cleats im Lieferumfang
  • Schmaler Q-Faktor von 16 cm, Knie laufen gerade
  • Riemenantrieb leise und ohne Kettenpflege

Cons

  • Filzbremse schleift unter hoher Last hörbar und verschleißt
  • Keine Wattanzeige und keine Trainingsprogramme
  • Sendet keine Daten an Zwift oder andere Apps
  • Im Test bequem nur für etwa 165 bis 190 cm
  • Display ohne Hintergrundbeleuchtung, SPD-Mechanik ab Werk schwergängig
