So pleased with this product, and strength is already improving after only a week - I guess when you are trying to throw about 68kg, that is going to happen. The Quality is as described and Tip Top. Many a gym would be proud to have a bit of kit like this, and I have it beside me working from home, and can do reps whenever I feel like it a few times a day. Yes, it is fairly expensive & delivery etc, but you get what you pay for, well worth it as far as I'm concerned, to fight off Couch Potato status sitting at a PC all day. Thank-you Rogue :-)

These kettlebells are well made and clearly built to last. I am partial to the powder coat as I find the e-coats I've tried feel too slippery. (If you've never bought a kettlebell before, try to get your hands on both a powder coat and e-coat to see which you like better.) I'm also starting to accumulate a collection now, six and counting, and I really appreciate the color coding on these to easily tell them apart. I wish Rogue would do this on all of their bells.

I got swayed badly by reviews on the quality of Rogue kettlebells. So I bought only the 48kg Rogue…and a 56 and 64kg Titan series from Wolverson. The Rogue is a beautiful, functional design for heavy kettlebell work, the Wolverson two are now doorstops, handle is too narrow and the handle curve is too sharp, like holding a curvy banana.I’ve got to order the 56kg from Rogue now, I’m annoyed with myself as I’m lucky enough to have a very extensive gym full of Rogue and Eleiko equipment, I was stupid to doubt Rogue quality.

It's a kettlebell, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Not the cheapest but also not the most expensive, finish quality and consistency seem good and the finish seems to give good grip without being abrasive. This is my first Rogue product, second kettlebell I've bought, I would say it's better quality than the cheap one I started with and the price is fair. Service and delivery time were excellent.
I am into kettlebell fitness for a few years, and owed a few bells from other producers before, but wasn't very happy with those. I bought my pair of 16kg from Rogue in 2018 to start practicing two-bell drills, and I still very much appreciate how these are made. These days, home-based fitness looks to become ways more popular then ever, therefore whenrecently I was in need for 24 and 32kg bells, I had to wait literally a couple of months before those become available at Rogue. But within EU I don't see any comparable cast iron fitness kettlebells. I like a lot the handles - those are at the same time smoothly shaped, and gritty enough (in good sense) to provide confident grip. Balls are also shaped very round.If I could wish some improvement, it would be a bit ... MoreI am into kettlebell fitness for a few years, and owed a few bells from other producers before, but wasn't very happy with those.

This is my 3rd Kettlebell from Rogue. I have 2 24kg and they have held up and performed very nicely. I own two other brands and Rogue has my favorite finish. Kettlebells feel secure in my hand, even with sweaty hands.That said, they need to work on their QC, the recent 28kg I ordered felt like it had been sitting around forever, it was scuffed and covered in some sort of gunk? I think I can remove it but I don't wanna scratch off the finish in the process. The packaging was completely fallen apart when it arrived, I could stick my hand and touch the actual kettlebell through the box.So while I love the finish on these, I think I would be hesitant to purchase again from here. I did have an issue with one of the 24kg I ordered, and Rogue did address it. But I just ... MoreThis is my 3rd Kettlebell from Rogue. I have 2 24kg and they have held up and performed very nicely.

I usually use competition kettlebells but they get expensive as they go bigger and bigger. I was looking for a cheaper solution to go beyond the 40kg limit. I tried cheap kettlebells but the handles are very very big which makes kettlebells unsafe to perform (couldn't wrap my whole hand around it).The handles on the bigger Rogue kettlebells are just as thick as the 24kg ones, they make the handle slightly wider (which is good) and the ball a bit bigger. The only downside is that the range of motion of deadlifts is shorter due to the bigger ball but this is easily fixed by standing on a higher platform.I only got one minor complaint, 2 of the kettlebells had really small damages on the handle and on the ball. It wasn't that big of a deal and the bells get used ... MoreI usually use competition kettlebells but they get expensive as they go bigger and bigger.

Thanks to Rogue Australia for reminding me to share my thoughts.I haven’t swung a kettlebell for a while, and with a post op shoulder and my other arm not in great shape, I thought I’d grab some light kettlebells; 4 and 6kgs in fact.The package was promptly posted and looked a little on the small side. I thought perhaps my order was mixed with a skipping rope, but no, there were two kettlebells.I’m not a big fella, but I could barely get my hand around the handle, and there’s no way you could use two hands for a kettle bell swing. Mind you, if I spot a pudgy leprechaun in my backyard, I’ll have exactly the thing.I haven’t figured out quite what to do with them, but if I ever build a cross fit diorama, these will be perfect.
I love the Rogue brand and have several of their USA made bars and plates. However, these kettlebells arrived in a box labeled "Made in China". I respect Rogue for manufacturing most products in the USA, but these are definitely not. This may be no big deal for some. If you like a product produced with slave labor from a country that is itching for war with the world, go ahead and order to save a buck. For those of us who feel that goods made with slave labor in a communist country that our kids and neighbors may be at war with some day, I don't plan to ever purchase products from the PRC if I can avoid doing so. Just my .02. Rogue, please continue to manufacture in the USA and I will continue to support those products with my business.
Only kettlebells I would own, great feel and balance, durable and you can't beat them for the price. The colour coding makes it easy to swap out in a hurry. Having the same handle sizes across a weight spectrum makes training consistent for grip and getting used to new weights. Rogue's customer service is excellent and I wouldn't go anywhere else for this type of product.
