Rank #7 in Best Olympic Weight Plates 2026: 10 Sets Ranked, and Why the KG Label Misleads
Strongway Tri-Grip Weight Plate Sets with 6FT or 7FT Barbell
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Strongway Olympic tri-grip weight plate set is the seventh entry in our guide to weight plates. It is one listing covering three different packages: a 50 kg set, a 70 kg set and a 100 kg set, each sold with a choice of a 6FT or 7FT barbell, and every plate has a 50 mm / 2-inch Olympic hole. At £209.95 it carries 4.8 out of 5 from 56 ratings, and 84% of those ratings are 5 stars.
The number that does not fit is the one the listing puts in its own Item Weight field: 62 kg. None of the three advertised sets weighs 62 kg. Add up the smallest of them — 2 x 10 kg, 4 x 5 kg and 4 x 2.5 kg — and you get 50 kg, which leaves exactly 12 kg, the weight the listing gives for the 6FT barbell. So 62 kg describes one specific combination, the 50 kg set with the 6FT bar, on a page that is also selling a 70 kg set and a 100 kg set. Everything below comes from that Amazon listing, not from any testing we carried out.
How those 56 ratings break down
