Verdict
Pros & cons
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
Das Sportstech WRX1000 ist ein schönes Wasserrudergerät aus Eschenholz, das in Tests mit einem gleichmäßigen Zug ohne toten Punkt überzeugt. Dank Zweikammer-Tank passt du den Widerstand per Drehknopf an, zusammengeklappt misst es 116 x 50 x 85 cm. Wir halten es für eine gute Wahl fürs Wohnzimmer; der Haken liegt bei Haltbarkeit von Paddel und Gurt sowie einem oft langsamen Kundendienst.
Pros
- Gleichmäßiger Zug ohne toten Punkt, in mehreren Tests gelobt
- Zweikammer-Tank verstellt den Widerstand per Drehknopf ohne Abpumpen
- Rahmen aus Eschenholz, in Tests sauber verarbeitet
- Echt klappbar auf 116 x 50 x 85 cm, auch mit vollem Tank
- Beleuchtetes Display mit Zeit pro 500 m, Bluetooth und ANT+
- Steht auch bei hoher Schlagzahl sicher, Sitz gleitet ruhig
Cons
- Mehrfach berichtet: gebrochene Paddel und früh ausfransende Zuggurte
- Watt und Kalorien nur geschätzt, Genauigkeitsklasse C
- Fußriemen sitzen für kleine Füße zu hoch
- Tablet-Halterung gibt unter großen Tablets nach
