You want to make sure you get the kit that will actually fit on your set. It’s important to understand this if you’re currently in the market for an Elite expansion kit, or if you will be in the future. This means the Elite USA expansion kits won’t properly fit on the Elite EXP set, and vice versa. The block dimensions are slightly different.
The Elite USA and Elite EXP are NOT compatible with each other. The PowerBlock Elite USA and Elite EXP dimensions listed below are for a single dumbbell. Some people love this classic rainbow look, while others think it’s too colorful.īoth Elite models have a grey handle (with black support bars and adder weight tubes) with black weight blocks. The Elite USA and Elite EXP retain the iconic multi-colored weight indicator bands that used to be a hallmark of all PowerBlock dumbbells in years past.Īll other PowerBlock dumbbell models currently in production (except the Sport 24) have since been updated to have more toned-down weight indicator bands. The blocks are made of steel and finished with a black powder coat. This is in contrast to the arched or contoured blocks on all other home-use PowerBlock models, which give them a more modern look. The weight blocks are 10 lbs each for both the Elite USA and Elite EXP.īoth models have a very boxy shape with straight lines on all sides, which give them a more utilitarian look. But it is also more comfortable since it’s not sharp. It is grippy, but not to the extent of knurled steel. It’s scratch-resistant, strong, and hard but not brittle. This is a composite material with properties of both rubber and plastic. The handle grip material is TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber). The handle grip diameters are different on the 2 Elite models: Now, I’ll break down the Elite USA and Elite EXP, separately, into their respective sets/stages: Elite USA Elite 50 Each handle comes with two 2.5 lb adder weights per handle to achieve smaller weight increments. The empty handle weighs 5 lbs on both the Elite USA and Elite EXP. Both max out at 90 lbs per dumbbell in their final form. The Elite USA has the Elite 50/70/90 sets and the Elite EXP has the Elite EXP Stage 1/Stage 2/Stage 3 sets. The Elite USA and Elite EXP are both expandable dumbbell models, each with 3 sets. They also have the iconic multi-colored weight indicator bands that all the older PowerBlock models had in the past. The Elite USA and Elite EXP also both have 2 padded wrist support bars, which is something that no other models have. Most other PowerBlock models have sleeker, more curved blocks.

In the following sections, I’ll discuss each model separately, and then get into a more detailed breakdown of each feature and spec.
