Product Summary
Manufactured from the same first-run iron ore as our standard Rogue Kettlebells, these durable new KBs feature a protective rubber coating around the entirety of the bell, helping to prevent the scuffs and chips that often come with daily kettlebell use in high-traffic training spaces.
Rogue Rubber Coated Kettlebells are available in five weight increments (26LB, 35LB, 44LB, 53LB, 70LB) and feature a single-piece casting, wide flat machined base, and color-coded handles with a textured, powdercoat finish. The black urethane exterior coating includes exclusive Rogue branding with the “R” logo.
By wrapping the bell portion of these KBs with a rubber exterior coat, we’re giving gym owners a way to prevent many of the scuffs, chips, and other damages that can tarnish the finish and appearance of a traditional kettlebell. Across all weight increments, this durable urethane coating creates a smooth black surface, with the handle left uncovered for an overall feel no different than our standard Rogue Kettlebells.
Texture matters. A well formed, balanced, and properly textured kettlebell feels better in the hand and performs better in motion. The handle of each Rogue Kettlebell is textured to hold chalk well, but with enough grip to be used without. The powdercoat finish, combined with the urethane coat on the bell, helps a Rogue KB feel comfortable in the hand or against the forearm in the rack position without being too rough.
Rogue Kettlebells are manufactured from first-run iron ore (not scrap, like many KBs on the market) and go through a single-piece, proprietary casting process. This creates a stronger, more reliable handle and a void-free surface. The Rogue Kettlebell does not use plastic caps, plugs, or patches like lower quality products. The base of each kettlebell is machined flat (rather than leaving it as a raw casting) so it sits perfectly on the floor and does not wobble. You can tell the difference as soon as you pick one up.
