Quick verdict
LiftEvidence editorial assessment
A gravity-cast iron kettlebell with a textured matte powder coat, a flat base and a colour-coded ring, sold individually from 1 to 32 kg. Owners consistently praise a handle that is neither too rough nor too slick and a solid, stable build. Some report the coating chipping with use, and as a cast-iron bell its size grows with the weight.
