Escape Fitness Nucleus Rubber SBX Dumbbells
Escape Fitness Nucleus Rubber SBX Dumbbells
Cost-Effective Nucleus Dumbbells with Dual-Lock Plus Construction, Hard Satin Chrome Handles & Anti-Roll Shape
Introduction
The Escape Fitness Nucleus Rubber SBX Dumbbells are designed for free weight areas that need a durable and cost-effective dumbbell option for traditional strength training.
These dumbbells use the same Dual-Lock Plus construction and hard satin chrome handles found in the Nucleus urethane range, while offering a more budget-friendly option for low- to medium-use training facilities.
Each SBX dumbbell features a permanently bonded covering, patented fixing technology, full penetration welding, and a unique head shape that transitions from round at the front to octagonal at the rear for anti-roll confidence.

Features & Benefits
Dual-Lock Plus Construction
The SBX dumbbells feature Escape’s patented Dual-Lock Plus process, helping create a secure and reliable dumbbell structure for repeated use.
Hard Satin Chrome Handles
Each dumbbell includes a hard satin chrome handle with precise knurling. This provides users with a secure grip for presses, rows, curls, raises, lunges, and other dumbbell movements.
Full Penetration Welded Construction
The dumbbells are full penetration welded and built with patented fixing technology to support strength and dependability in regular training environments.
Splined Press Fit
The handle assembly uses a splined press fit at three tonnes, helping strengthen the connection between the handle and head.
Permanently Bonded Chemlok Moulded Covering
The SBX dumbbells include a permanently bonded Chemlok moulded covering, giving the heads a durable exterior for regular free weight use.
Circle-to-Octagon Anti-Roll Shape
The unique head shape transitions from a circular front face to an octagonal rear. This gives the dumbbell flat contact points to help reduce rolling when placed on the floor.
Recessed Edging for Grip Variation
The recessed edging gives users additional grip options, allowing more creativity during certain dumbbell movements beyond the traditional handle grip.
3D Embossed Micro-Injection Badge
The badge detail adds a clean and finished look to the dumbbell while keeping the branding visible in the free weight area.
