Rank #6 in Best Kettlebell 2026: The Handle Nobody Measures
KK Kettlebells 12kg Cast Iron Neoprene Coated, Green
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The KK Kettlebells 12kg bell costs £34.95 and is rated 4.7 stars from 473 ratings, with a 35mm handle — the widest published diameter in this ranking.
It takes sixth because that measurement matters most at 12kg, and because its most useful review is from a group fitness instructor rather than a beginner.
How those 473 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.7 stars.

Questions people ask
How wide is the handle?
35mm, the widest published in this ranking, and it matters most at 12kg.
Why trust the instructor review?
Because someone teaching classes handles more bells than a home user and notices grip problems first.
Is neoprene good?
Yes for floors and noise, and it forgives a dropped bell.
Is 12kg too heavy to start?
Yes for most beginners; this bell makes sense once you have swung an 8kg.
Why is it sixth?
Because the handle is the best here but the sample is modest and the category rank low.
How many ratings does it have?
473 at the time of collection, averaging 4.7 stars, with 82 per cent five-star and 1 per cent one-star.
