Cykling P12-H
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 Schwinn 800IC ist ein leises, sehr standfestes Indoor Bike für regelmäßiges Kurstraining zu Hause. Per Bluetooth koppelst du es mit Peloton, Zwift, Kinomap und JRNY, Sattel und Lenker verstellst du in Höhe und Länge. Der Haken: den Widerstand drehst du selbst, keine App steuert ihn, und Watt werden nur geschätzt. Wer Kurse mitfährt oder nebenbei Serien schaut, ist aus unserer Sicht gut bedient.
Pros
- Nahezu geräuschloser Lauf dank berührungsloser Magnetbremse
- Rund 48 kg Eigengewicht, kein Wackeln im Sprint oder Wiegetritt
- Sattel und Lenker in Höhe und Länge verstellbar, mit Schnellspannern
- Bluetooth-Anbindung an Zwift, Peloton, Kinomap und JRNY
- 100 Widerstandsstufen mit Stufenanzeige für planbare Intervalle
- Kombipedale für SPD-Radschuhe und Sportschuhe
Cons
- Widerstand nur manuell, Zwift steuert weder Steigung noch ERG-Modus
- Keine Wattmessung, Leistung nur aus Stufe und Trittfrequenz geschätzt
- Widerstandsregler greift ungleichmäßig, Stufenanzeige schwankt um 1 bis 2
- Flaschenhalter stößt im Wiegetritt ans Knie und lässt sich nicht abschrauben
- Mehrfach berichtete Verbindungsprobleme zur App und kurzes Stromkabel
Das Skandika Cykling P12-H ist ein leises Einsteiger-Bike für die Wohnung: Die elektromagnetische Bremse arbeitet berührungslos, die 32 Stufen stellst du über einen Drehknopf am Lenker ein. Eine Wattanzeige fehlt, und der Lenker lässt sich nur in der Höhe verstellen. Der Haken: mehrfach defekt gelieferte Geräte, deshalb prüfst du das Bike direkt beim Auspacken.
Pros
- Elektromagnetische Bremse läuft in allen drei Tests leise genug für die Wohnung
- 32 fein abgestufte Widerstandsstufen für Grundlagentraining und Intervalle
- Bedienung über einen Drehknopf, auch ohne Erfahrung verständlich
- Riemenantrieb ohne Öl und Kettengeräusche
- Sattel in Höhe und Länge verstellbar, in Tests passend von 160 bis 190 cm
Cons
- Mehrere Tests nennen defekt gelieferte Geräte und langsamen Kundendienst
- Keine Watt-, Puls- oder Trittfrequenzanzeige
- Lenker nur in der Höhe verstellbar und nicht drehbar
- Breiter Q-Faktor von 21,6 cm sorgt für breitbeinige Haltung
- Mit 32 kg Eigengewicht wenig Reserve für harte Sprints im Stehen
