Kabata is the first intelligent dumbbell system that uses data analytics and predictive AI to enhance a workout by automatically adjusting weights between workout sets while also delivering custom workout programs and activity tracking via a connected mobile app. Onboard sensors track repetitions, acceleration, force, and relative position to track progress. While haptic drivers in the knurled handles provide real-time feedback to correct form & motivate rep completion. Contained in the base of the system, a cam mechanism between each plate increment seamlessly engages and disengages plates in a fraction of a second. The combination of this technology and design delivers a system for users to unlock enhanced workouts and meet their fitness goals.
Kabata connects to the Kabata app via Bluetooth, allowing for two-way communication of data from the weights to a smartphone for automated adjustments. Kabata’s connected app also creates an accessible and improved experience between the user and their fitness. Users can access training programs, monitor key performance metrics, engage in challenges, and share their workout performance with their community. The app also gives you the ability to climb the live leaderboard to unlock rewards and level up as an incentive to stay motivated and consistent. Results can be as public or private as the user chooses, creating communal support that allows users to become stronger together.
Kabata smart weights bring premium materials, finishes, and technology to an adjustable weight training system. The design is meant to be inclusive in form, color, size, and overall architecture. The weights are precisely engineered and constructed for a quality feel. This is especially experienced when adjusting weight and hearing the plates lock in place. The no-slip, callus-resistant knurled handle and 12 weights condensed into one resulted in a minimalist build. By combining all of these elements in a single platform, Kabata reaches a pinnacle in fitness product design.
Every aesthetic element has been considered. The elegant hex shape of each unit prevents rolling. The angled base presents the weight dial at the perfect viewable position. A light glow below each handle guides you to each pickup zone. All design details work together to convey a friendly and competent product.
