GORILLA SPORTS Parallette Dip Bars, Pair review
A pair of low parallettes that publishes its dimensions and splits its rating: 100 kg per bar, 200 kg for the two together. Two separate stands rather than a frame.
The bottom line Two parallettes with their dimensions published and their rating split honestly. At 73 cm they are for floor work, push-ups and tucked dips rather than a free hang, and the freely-set spacing is what a fixed frame cannot offer. Light and portable, which is both the point and the limit.
What the maker publishes
57 × 38 × 73 cm per unit, sold as a pair
100 kg per bar, 200 kg for the two together
Solid steel
Non-slip rubber on the grips, rubber foot caps to protect the floor
Light enough to be carried and used outdoors, as the maker states
What 73 cm means in practice
These are parallettes. At that height a body does not hang clear of the floor,
so dips are done with the legs tucked or with the feet resting.
That is not a shortcoming — it is the format, and it is what makes them usable
in a room with no space for a tower and storable afterwards. It is also why
they should not be compared on height against the free-standing towers
elsewhere in this family.
Two ratings, because two units
One hundred kilograms per bar, two hundred for the pair.
Most listings on this shelf print a single figure. Two separate objects
carrying a load between them genuinely have two numbers, and publishing both
is the maker being accurate rather than generous.
The spacing, set by the user
Two separate units means the distance between them is whatever suits the
person, rather than whatever the frame was welded to.
That is the practical argument for parallettes over a fixed station, and the
published 38 cm is the width of each unit rather than a spacing.
The trade
Light enough to carry is light enough to shift under a hard repetition. The
maker sells the portability directly, and the rubber foot caps are what stands
between that and a moving bar.
Availability
From 40 € to 63 € across the German, French and Italian Amazon stores, on the one reading this page rests on.
The British Amazon store carries it too, priced in local currency — which the euro range above leaves out on purpose.
The Spanish Amazon store was asking more than 1.6× the cheapest country. A gap that wide normally means stock shipped in rather than a seller on the ground, so that figure sits outside the range above.
The American Amazon catalogue lists the reference with nobody selling behind it.

Strengths
Publishes full dimensions — 57 × 38 × 73 cm per unit
Splits the rating per bar and for the pair rather than printing one figure
Two separate units, so the spacing sets to the user rather than to the frame
Compromises
At 73 cm these are parallettes, not a station a body hangs freely from
No grip diameter published
Light enough to be moved by a hard rep, which is the trade for being portable

What buyers ask about this one
Are these the same as a dip station?
They are the low form of one. At 73 cm a body does not hang freely between them — the legs are tucked or the feet stay on the floor. A free-standing tower elsewhere in this family reaches 220 cm and answers a different question.
Why two ratings?
Because the units are separate. One hundred kilograms per bar and two hundred for the pair is the maker describing what each carries and what they carry together, which is more informative than a single number would be.
How far apart should they go?
That is set by whoever is using them rather than by the product, which is the advantage of two separate units. The published figure here is the width of each unit — 38 cm — not a fixed spacing.
Who this one is for
Floor work and dips where a tall frame will not fit or is not wanted
Price and availability
