Intuitive design, slick looks and a competitive weight range make the Nuobell 2kg – 32kg – the brainchild of Swedish brand NUO Athletics – one of the best adjustable dumbbell systems we had the pleasure of testing.
The one thing adjustable dumbbells need to get right is the mechanism for switching between weights – whether it’s a dial, button or some other device. Nuobell has got it spot on, with a seamless twist of the handle while the dumbbells are in their cradles. That allows you to cycle between the different weights in an instant – right to decrease, left to increase. For anyone confused by how adjustable dumbbells actually work, once you’ve selected your weight (indicated by a number on the handles), you then simply lift the handle out of the stand and the required plates will stay attached.

Those plates avoid the common problem with adjustable dumbbells of rattling around when you’re lifting. The handles are knurled (criss-crossed with grooves) for added grip too. That grip is effective most of the time, but we did find high-intensity lifting – and consequent sweaty palms – made them slightly slippery. For regular strength training, though, you won’t have any issues. And chalk or gloves can always be used for a stronger grip.

The word ‘stylish’ features heavily in the brand’s mission statement, and it shines through with these. Although the weights (sold in pairs) total a hefty 32kg each, there’s an elegance to their construction. So they’re easy on the eye as well as the hands. All in all, a handsome addition to any home gym.
Slick design meets simple practicality – a twist of the handle left or right increases or decreases the weight
