CARBYNE Adjustable Dumbbell
CARBYNE Adjustable Dumbbells
Packing up to 26 dumbbells into 1, the CARBYNE Adjustable Dumbbell is one of the best adjustable dumbbells in the world. There are 2 colour variants (Silver and Black) and 3 weight variants (23.5kg, 32.5kg, and 41.5kg). These dumbbells all start from 4kg and adjusts in 1.5kg increments.
The CARBYNE Silver dumbbells feature an all-metal design (except for the internal switching mechanisms). Each plate is connected via a top and bottom latch that is molded as part of the plate itself. In contrast, the CARBYNE Black dumbbells feature best-in-class nylon latches, reducing rattling noises dramatically.
The CARBYNE dumbbells feature a relatively thick handle that is 36mm in diameter. The knurling is fine, allowing for a larger surface area of contact with your palms and feeling 'stickier' than regular knurled dumbbells.
