The York Legacy dumbbells weigh 15kg (33lbs) each & are a recreation of a popular dumbbell that was originally cast in Yorks own foundry. These two dumbbells incorporate a solid steel handle that provides a fully knurled, 33mm (1.3) thick grip ensuring safe & comfortable usage. The handle of the dumbbells is hydraulically pressed to create fish-tail handle ends that are permanently embedded into the head due to pouring molten iron around the ends. The dumbbells are designed to decrease a hands travel on the bar & thus provide better control & bio-mechanically correct movements, which has been ensured by making the dumbbells hands a little bit shorter when compared to standard ones.
