Urethane Dumbbells

honestly, i love these urethane dumbbells. the straight 34mm handle (50lbs+), and the knurl feel great in use. you can drop them without worry. they look great to me. i got them for a price i couldn't refuse used but i'd never pay retail for them. absurd cost for essentially the same thing that a bunch of other companies sell for less (but still a lot). premium product for sure, but still overpriced.

Of all the Rogue items I own, these are the biggest disappointment. The knurling is so wildly different on literally every single dumbell it drives me up a wall. Do they function fine? Yes but holy cow the knurling is so bad.

Owning a rack of dumbbells is more nostalgic for me. Gives that commercial gym vibe. I find the Rogue urethane dumbbells to be durable, solid, and a sleek choice. As someone else mentioned, they aren't flashy, but they do look clean. They have a decent knurl. Aesthetically, I prefer them over the Hex dumbbells (nothing wrong with Hex dumbbells). Though, I'm sure chrome dumbbells would look even nicer. However, I needed a more durable set of dumbbells that I can toss around in my basement and went with these. The cons: they're so expensive and Rogue tends to send a pair of a different shade/off colored compared to the others. I'm still adding to the rack though, it makes more sense to purchase adjustable dumbbells.

Very pricy dumbbells but built solidly. I've got a few pairs to fill in missing dumbbells.

Quality dumbells from Rogue. Nothing flashy or fancy. Buying a full set of 5-100lbs can get pretty pricey compared to other companies. I got a full set of chrome dumbells from Kensui for around 8k that included a rack. Rogue wants 14k+ for that without a rack

Full disclosure, I only have 1 pair of 5s, but I have used these dumbbells in a commercial gym on several occasions. They really are great. Way way way over budget for nearly everyone, but they feel like a nice pair of commercial dumbbells (which at their price point that’s basically what they are). My recommendation is get the pair of 5s and then get the Rep X Pepin Fast Series Dumbbells.
