The company’s handling of my customer service issue has made me a fan for life.” ( 16 ) Hey Erik, I personally don’t have any concerns in that regard as my Pros are holding up great with no signs of wear of the urethane in general, and no issues at the urethane joint (i.e. where each plate attaches to the side rail). And while I haven’t abused mine, I use them A LOT and don’t handle them daintily. I also haven’t heard of any other owners of the Pro’s talk about urethane quality issues and they’ve been out for a few years now.

In contrast, the Pro 32 and Sport 24 have a 30 mm handle that’s more suitable for smaller hands. Material: I’ll discuss a few other differences later, especially when it comes to comparing specific models against each other (e.g. Pro 50 vs Sport 50 or Pro 32 vs Sport 24). That said, the above are the most impactful differences. Important update: I just noticed that the Sport also doesn’t have a handle guard. In comparison, the Elite has two rails on either side.

Each dumbbell adjusts in 3-5lb increments and replaces 8-20 pairs of dumbbells (depending on the model).
