MX Select MX85 Rapid Change Dumbbells

description MX Select MX85 Rapid Change Dumbbells Overview

The MX Select MX85 Rapid Change dumbbells are a space-efficient adjustable weight system that replaces multiple traditional dumbbells. These weights provide 5 to 50 pounds of resistance per dumbbell through a dial-based selection mechanism, allowing quick weight changes between exercises. The dial system engages only the desired weight plates from the storage tray, automatically securing them to the handle while remaining plates stay in place. This design targets home fitness enthusiasts seeking comprehensive strength training options without dedicating space to a full dumbbell rack.

help MX Select MX85 Rapid Change Dumbbells FAQ

What weight range does each MX Select MX85 dumbbell cover?

Each MX85 adjusts from 12.5 to 85 pounds, rather than topping out at 50 pounds. The system replaces multiple fixed dumbbells while retaining a conventional handle shape.

Why do the MX85 settings increase by unusual amounts?

The selector advances in roughly 8-pound increments after the 12.5-pound starting position. That makes the jumps larger and less conventional than the 5-pound steps offered by many PowerBlock and Bowflex models.

Can the MX85 weight be changed while the dumbbell is outside its cradle?

No, the dumbbell must be fully seated in its supplied cradle before the selector dial is turned. The cradle retains the unused plates when the selected dumbbell is lifted.

Are MX85 dumbbells suitable for heavy presses and rows?

Their 85-pound maximum gives them considerably more headroom than typical 50-pound adjustable sets. The tradeoff is a larger, heavier assembly that needs more floor space than MX Select's MX55 model.
