Verdict
Pros & cons
Das SportPlus SP-WR-1900-iE ist ein klappbares Wasserrudergerät aus Eiche, das sich ruhig, kräftig und gleichmäßig rudern lässt und mit 55 bis 63 dB auch in Mietwohnungen passt. Auf der 107,5 cm langen Schiene finden laut Hersteller auch Große bis 210 cm Platz. Der Haken liegt in der Elektronik: keine Intervallprogramme, nur grobe Messwerte, und Kinomap gibt es nur im Smart-Modus mit Abo. Für dein Fitnesstraining zu Hause halten wir es für eine gute, platzsparende Wahl.
Pros
- Gleichmäßiger Zug mit hohem Widerstandsniveau, auch für intensive Einheiten
- Mit 55 bis 63 dB leise genug für Mehrfamilienhäuser
- Auf 81 x 52 x 110 cm klappbar, mit Transportrollen
- 107,5 cm lange Schiene, laut Hersteller für Körpergrößen bis 210 cm
- In Tests stabil und wackelfrei, auch bei kräftigen Zügen
- Beleuchteter Akku-Computer mit Pulsempfang per Bluetooth-Brustgurt
Cons
- Keine Intervallprogramme am Computer, anders als beim Vorgänger
- Messwerte nur nach Genauigkeitsklasse C, Distanz und Kalorien eher zu hoch
- Kinomap nur im Smart-Modus und für den vollen Umfang mit Abo
- Belastbarkeit laut Hersteller nur 150 kg, beim Vorgänger 180 kg
- Fußstützen drücken beim Rudern barfuß oder in Socken
Das Sportstech sRow ist ein sehr leises Magnet-Rudergerät mit großem, schwenkbarem Touchdisplay, das dich mit Trainerkursen zu festen Zeiten aufs Gerät holt – auch spät am Abend in der Mietwohnung. Der Zug läuft in Tests gleichmäßig, die Schiene steht stabil. Der Haken: viele Funktionen nur mit Abo, und Kinomap oder Zwift laufen auf dem Display nicht. Wir halten es für eine gute Wahl fürs Kurstraining zu Hause bis 130 kg.
Pros
- Sehr leiser Lauf dank Magnetbremse und Gurtzug, laut Hersteller 65 dB
- Gleichmäßiger, ruckelfreier Zug trotz nur 4 kg Schwungmasse
- 21,5-Zoll-Touchdisplay in Full HD, um 330° schwenkbar, mit Lautsprechern
- Stabile Aluminiumschiene, die auch bei kräftigen Zügen nicht wackelt
- Widerstand in 24 fein abgestuften Stufen am Display einstellbar
- Hochklappbar ohne Werkzeug, mit Transportrollen
Cons
- Viele Funktionen wie Streaming und Kurse nur mit kostenpflichtigem Abo
- Keine Drittanbieter-Apps wie Kinomap oder Zwift auf dem Display
- Belastbarkeit mit 130 kg für die Preisklasse eher knapp
- Sitz in einem Test bei Einheiten über 40 Minuten zu hart
- Hochgeklappt 181,5 cm hoch, braucht rund 2 m Deckenhöhe
