Why use cast iron weights?
- Cast iron is more resistant to shocks, drops, and pressure (5 times better) than vinyl.
- Cast iron has a textured surface for excellent grip even when your hands are wet, unlike plastic, which can be slippery.
Choosing our cast iron weights means you can train with confidence and efficiency.

Don't forget disc collars for safe training
Don't forget to invest in a pair of disc collars to secure the weights to the bar while exercising. Our Smart Disc collars are sold in pairs (ref: 8574652) so you can train safely. Just be careful: their weight limit in a vertical position is 15 kg.
Our cast iron plates are made from at least 80% recycled cast iron
Since 2018, our teams have gradually integrated recycled materials until we achieved the perfect balance. After several years of experiments, Decathlon is replacing its entire range of cast iron products with recycled cast iron made from at least 80% scrap metal and steel waste - a true achievement for the world of metals! To ensure that the quality is the same as classic cast iron, tests are conducted in partner laboratories.

Why choose cast iron instead of plastic or vinyl bumper weights?
- Cast iron is a dense material that is more compact than vinyl, meaning you can add more discs to the bar (up to 32 kg on a dumbbell bar).
- Cast iron lasts a lifetime, unlike plastic or vinyl, which can wear out within a year.
- Cast iron is less affected by temperature changes, so you can use it in a variety of conditions.
Our tips for storing cast iron weight training discs!
- To store your cast iron plates, you can use a wall mount for discs (ref: 8796727) or a storage rack (ref: 8788246) to install indoors (such as in a garage). - Do not store weights outdoors or in a humid place, as cast iron risks rusting if exposed to moisture. - Wipe dust off discs with a microfiber cloth when they have been stored for a long time.
