AIR BIKE ELITE PROFESSIONAL

Unlike many other finishes that are applied to the outer surface of the steel, Duracoat® is a transformative process. Instead of applying a thin coating on top of the steel, the steel is treated through a multi-stage, chemical process that improves both the steel’s wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The process actually hardens the outside of the steel, making it extra tough. It leaves a nice, smooth, matte black finish after it’s polished. Duracoat® is more corrosion resistant than other finishes, and it won’t wear as easily, since it’s not an actual coating that can chip off.

The main difference between hard chrome and decorative chrome is the thickness of the chrome application and how that improves durability. Decorative chrome is the shiny surface you see on car wheels, musical instruments, tools, and hardware. It provides good rust resistance, but it is subject to wear and flaking. On the other hand, hard chrome is more frequently found in industrial applications where high wear resistance is needed. As such, it’s much less prone to flaking and other wear issues found with decorative chrome. The finish has a more matte sheen to it, similar to stainless steel in appearance. It’s the most durable finish we offer, beating even Cerakote. Check out our blog on barbell finishes for more information.

Cerakote is a thin, protective, ceramic-polymer coating that increases the durability and corrosion resistance of the steel, while adding the ability to customize color.

The 20kg Colorado™ bar is available in a hard chrome-coated shaft and sleeves, or with a Cerakote-coated shaft in black, blue, green, red, or white. The Cerakote-coated barbells feature Duracoat® sleeves.

Most other products cannot go as heavy, or if they can, they're slow to adjust.

Our dumbbell retains the shape of a traditional dumbbell, with guide rails that add function. Other heavy adjustable dumbbells are bulky or oddly shaped, sacrificing the feel of a traditional dumbbell.

Other quick-adjust dumbbells use fragile plastic parts that control the adjustment mechanism, and if they break, the dumbbell is useless.

Other quick-adjust dumbbells that advertise all-metal construction typically still have hidden gearing made of plastic. Or if it is metal, it's still a small, moving piece hidden from view with unknown, real-world strength. Our adjustment mechanism is a thick steel bar. It's simple to use and simple to understand; that's why it's incredibly strong.

Other adjustable dumbbells advertising drop resistance typically only drop them straight down—the easiest test. Edge drops are a tougher measure of durability in real-world testing, and we incorporate those in our durability tests.

Our dumbbells are expandable by simply buying more plates. Many other systems lock you into whatever size you originally buy.

We're using premium materials throughout. Nickel plating on the knurled handle, combined with strategic use of Cerakote, powder coating, and stainless-steel hardware choices, all create one of the most durable and beautiful adjustable dumbbells ever made.

Adjustable dumbbells take up less space than a set of fixed dumbbells. A pair of 125lb REP® x PÉPIN™ FAST Series™ adjustable dumbbells can replace 23 pairs of fixed dumbbells (10lbs-125lbs). Learn more about the benefits of adjustable dumbbells here.
