Dimensions of the 1.25 kg weight
1.25 kg cast iron weight with rubber coating:
- Thickness: 17 mm
- Interior diameter: 28 mm
- External diameter: 145 mm
Our cast iron plates are made from at least 80% recycled cast iron
Since 2018, our teams have been gradually integrating recycled materials until we reached the perfect balance. Following several years of experiments, Decathlon is replacing its entire range of cast iron products with recycled cast iron made from at least 80% scrap metal and steel waste – a real feat for the world of metal! To ensure that the quality is the same as classic cast iron, tests are carried out in partner laboratories.
Why use weights with a rubber coating?
They are easy to install on 28 mm bars thanks to their stainless steel collar.
And the rubber coating dampens impacts and protects your floors!

Remember to use disc collars to secure your weights
Secure your weight training discs onto your bar with our disc collars (ref: 8574652).
For your safety, do not exceed 15 kg of weight with the Smart disc collars if using the bar vertically.
How to store your weight training discs
Even though they are covered in rubber, these weights hate moisture: if you keep them somewhere damp or outside, they could rust. You can dust them from time to time with a dry or damp microfibre cloth.
Keep it on a bottom shelf, under a bed or on a wall-mounted disc holder (ref: 8796727).
