Kabata is the only dumbbell in the world that counts your reps for you, tracks your workout metrics in real-time, and uses the data to coach and progress you.
Its unique features including automatic rep counting, automatic weight changing, haptic feedback, real-time analytics, form correction, and velocity-based training (VBT) are unprecedented in the free weights category. Its all-in-one sleek, minimalist aesthetic, which has won several design awards, also adds to its uniqueness.
The dumbbells are predominantly composed of steel and iron, which drives the weight of the product. These metal plates are then covered in a premium overmold, allowing the dumbbells to slide in and out of the base smoothly.
Kabata is produced in partnership with top manufacturers in Asia, who specialize in high-quality consumer products.
