Why did we choose to make our discs from recycled cast iron?
Since 2018, our teams have been incorporating recycled materials in their work to achieve excellence. From now on, our entire range will be made from 80% recycled cast iron sourced from ferrous waste: a technical feat!
This cast iron has been laboratory tested and is of the same quality as new. It is five times more compression-resistant than vinyl. Its textured surface ensures a secure grip, even with wet hands, where plastic tends to become slippery. Durable and sturdy.
How do I use this kit safely?
The disc collars should always be placed on the barbell after loading with weights.
Note that they do not support more than 15 kg in a hammer grip (vertical position).
Max weight per bar: 30 kg
