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 Sportstech SX175 ist ein leises, ordentlich verarbeitetes Einstiegs-Speedbike für Ausdauer- und Videotraining in der Wohnung. Der Tritt blieb in Tests trotz 4 kg Schwungmasse rund, der Sattel ist breit und bequem. Der Haken: höchstens 250 W bei 80 U/min, keine Watt- und Trittfrequenzanzeige, und Apps können den Widerstand nicht steuern. Wer nach Leistung trainiert, plant besser eine Klasse höher.

Pros

  • Leiser Riemenantrieb, laut Hersteller rund 30 dB
  • Runder Tritt bis zum Höchstwiderstand im Test
  • Breiter, dick gepolsterter Sattel mit 18 cm Breite
  • Bluetooth FTMS für Kinomap
  • Flaschenhalter, Tablethalterung und Transportrollen ab Werk
  • Einfache Bedienung per Drehknopf mit Notstopp

Cons

  • Höchstwiderstand nur 180 bis 250 W je nach Trittfrequenz
  • Keine Watt- und keine Trittfrequenzanzeige
  • Apps können den Widerstand nicht steuern
  • Lenker nur in der Höhe verstellbar
  • Kundendienst nur per E-Mail und Chat, Antwort nach Tagen

Der Wenoker JC318 ist ein leises Einsteiger-Bike mit Magnetbremse und Riemen, das per Bluetooth FTMS Tempo und Trittfrequenz an Zwift oder Kinomap sendet. Für regelmäßiges Training in der Mietwohnung taugt er gut. Der Haken: Den Widerstand stellst du immer von Hand ein, Watt schätzt nur die App, und mehrfach wird ein verrutschender Sattel beschrieben.

Pros

  • Magnetbremse und Riemen laufen leise und wartungsarm
  • Bluetooth FTMS sendet Tempo und Trittfrequenz an Zwift und Kinomap
  • Kein Abo für das Gerät nötig
  • Rund 80 % vormontiert, Aufbau fällt leicht
  • Transportrollen und integrierte Tablethalterung

Cons

  • Sattel rutscht laut mehreren Berichten trotz Klemmung nach hinten
  • Widerstand nur per Drehknopf, keine App-Steuerung oder Steigung
  • Keine Wattmessung, Leistung in Apps nur geschätzt
  • 27,2 kg leichter Rahmen federt bei Sprints im Stehen
  • Nur Korbpedale, Lenker nur in der Höhe verstellbar
