Dimensions of the 2.5 kg weight
2.5 kg cast iron weight with rubber coating:
- Thickness: 20 mm
- Interior diameter: 1 inch / 28 mm
- External diameter: 180 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.

Complete your bar with disc collars
Disc collars are made for securing weights onto your bar. Consider buying one pair for a large bar, or two pairs if you use weights on two dumbbells: 8574652).
Maximum weight supported by the Smart disc collars when vertical: 15 kg.
Storing this weight correctly lets you keep it for longer!
There is cast iron underneath the rubber on your weights, which can rust if exposed to moisture. So do not leave this weight outdoors or in a damp cellar.
You can clean it with a cloth to remove dust from time to time, and store it on a bottom shelf or a wall-mounted weight holder (ref: 8796727).
