Dumbbell weight plates HMS CBRS25 2.5 kg pair — steel, compatible with 5.1 cm bar diameter

HMS CBRS25 are steel weight plates supplied as a pair, each plate weighing 2.5 kg. Designed for use with dumbbells and barbells, these plates fit bars with a 5.1 cm (51 mm) diameter and feature a red finish that helps identify incremental loads. The set of two allows precise small increases in resistance for strength training, adjustable dumbbell configurations, and home gym setups.

Advantages

Manufactured from steel for durability and consistent mass, these 2.5 kg plates provide reliable incremental loading. The plates are finished in red for easy visual distinction and safe handling. Their standard central bore accommodates 5.1 cm bars, enabling compatibility with many adjustable dumbbells and some barbell sleeves designed to this diameter. Supplied as a matched pair, they ensure balanced loading on both sides of the bar.

Suitable for

• Incremental loading during progressive resistance training
• Adjustable dumbbell and short barbell setups that accept 5.1 cm bar diameter
• Home gym strength exercises such as presses, rows, and squats with removable plates
• Rehabilitation and technique work requiring small weight increases

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Weight: 2.5 kg per plate (sold as a pair)
• Compatibility: central bore for 5.1 cm (51 mm) diameter bars
• Finish: red coating
• Set composition: two matching plates for balanced loading

How to use

Slide each plate onto the bar sleeve or dumbbell handle with the bar oriented horizontally and secure with appropriate collars or clamps to prevent movement during exercise. Use the pair to add 2.5 kg to each side when performing bilateral lifts, or add one plate per side when building up from lighter loads. Verify that the bar and collars are rated for the added weight and that plates sit flush on the bar to maintain balance and safe rotation where applicable.

Usage recommendations

Before each session, inspect plates and bar sleeves for signs of wear, rust, or damage. Use collars or clamps rated for the bar diameter to secure plates. Store plates in a dry environment to preserve the red finish and steel integrity. When combining different plate types, ensure even distribution on both sides to maintain balance during lifts.
