Test result preview
The Baghira XXL cat exercise wheel from noviclass is an innovative product that has been specially developed to help cats become more active. The exercise wheel with an internal diameter of 120 cm is particularly suitable for medium to large cats and helps to prevent incorrect posture of the spine. The product promotes a healthy life by preventing muscle atrophy and obesity. Particularly noteworthy are the robust wooden construction and the hard-wearing running surface, which make the wheel stable and safe. The smooth-running castors, which guarantee a very low noise level, and the well thought-out design, which prevents the cats’ paws from being trapped or injured, are also positive features. The easy assembly of the running wheel is also impressive thanks to the illustrated instructions and the tools supplied.
It should be noted that, despite its stability and safety, the exercise wheel can initially have a deterrent effect on some cats, which requires a certain amount of familiarisation time. To summarise, however, the Baghira XXL cat exercise wheel from noviclass is an excellent way to promote your cat’s health and well-being.
Advantages
- Promotes health
- Robust surfaces
- Low noise level

Assembling the Baghira XXL cat wheel from noviclass was very easy thanks to the well-illustrated instructions and tools supplied. However, we found a small error in the illustrations in the instructions, but this did not cause any major difficulties. This minor inconvenience did not affect the overall assembly process as it was easy to rectify. If necessary, labelling with the number of parts would be desirable.
In terms of stability, the wheel showed minimal wobble under the test conditions. However, this wobble was so slight that it did not affect the safety and functional use of the wheel. The product proved its robustness and remained stable even during intensive use.
Another important aspect is the smooth running of the wheel. Minimal noise and slight vibrations occurred during the test run, but these were so low that they were barely perceptible. This is a particular advantage in quiet households where disturbing noises are undesirable.
The product also showed excellent properties in terms of scratch resistance. Even after intensive use and thorough inspection, there were no visible scratches or damage to the surface. The robust scratch surface remained completely intact, which emphasises the durability and quality of the material used.
Cleaning the wheel also proved to be problem-free and effective. All surfaces were completely free of residue after each cleaning, and even hard-to-reach areas were easy to clean. There were no signs of material fatigue or discolouration caused by the cleaning agents, which speaks for the high quality and durability of the product.
To summarise, it can be said that the Baghira XXL cat exercise wheel from noviclass was convincing in the practical test. The construction is simple, the stability is high, smooth running is guaranteed and the surface is resistant to scratches. Cleaning the running wheel is uncomplicated and thorough. It is therefore an excellent choice for cat owners looking for a high-quality and functional exercise wheel.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough.
Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to around €600 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from around €160 . The Baghira XXL cat exercise wheel from noviclass is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €199.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
