What it takes to be on this page
The entry standard
-
9 sizes, XS–5XL
Measured at the navel, standing relaxed — not your trouser size, which runs two to three inches smaller.
2XL–5XL made to order · +2–3 business days -
13mm or 10mm
Nothing thinner than 10mm is here. 13mm is the stiffest leather NBD cuts; 10mm does the same job with less waiting.
13mm · 3–4 weeks break-in -
Competition specification
Uniform width all the way round, one-piece leather, hardware rated for a competition brace. NBD is not on any federation’s list of permitted equipment — check yours before meet day.

Every NBD belt runs the same ladder. Set your waist once and every belt below picks the size that fits.

Bare waist, at the navel, standing relaxed — not braced. Tape flat and level all the way round, snug against the skin, not pulled tight.

01
Flagship 13mm
The two belts at the very top of the range. Thickest leather we cut, tightest tolerances we hold, longest break-in.
Is this the one for you?
- Pick this if
- You are chasing a number, you already own a belt, and you know what a brace is supposed to feel like.
- Look elsewhere if
- This is your first belt. Start at 10mm — a 13mm flagship punishes an unpractised brace.
Step belowis the Dual Pro lever, same leather grade, faster to break in.

02
Dual Pro Lever
Our dual-lock lever, both thicknesses on one card. Two locking points, so the lever pulls flatter and does not creep under a heavy brace. On and off in about three seconds.
Is this the one for you?
- Pick this if
- You squat and deadlift near your limit and want the fastest, tightest lock we make.
- Look elsewhere if
- You want the lowest price on a lever belt — the Classic lever does the same job with one locking point.
Step belowis the Classic single-lock lever in the same leather.

Sizing on the stack is confirmed with you on WhatsApp after the order, so nothing in it arrives in the wrong size.
03
Elite Knee & Elbow
The heaviest wraps in the range, and the 7mm sleeve beside them. Knee wraps for the sets you strap into, elbow wraps for pressing that argues back.
Is this the one for you?
- Pick this if
- You wrap for a heavy squat, or your elbows have opinions about volume benching.
- Look elsewhere if
- You want something to leave on all session — heavy-duty wraps are not that.
Step belowis the standard-duty wrap.

04
Elite Wrist
Competition-length support. The one-metre wrap is the longest we make; the shorter lengths trade some stiffness for speed.
Is this the one for you?
- Pick this if
- You bench and overhead press heavy, and you want the wrist held rather than reminded.
- Look elsewhere if
- You want a wrap you can pull on in five seconds between warm-ups.
Step belowis the 18-inch and 24-inch wrap, same cloth, shorter.

05
Lever Range — Classic, DualLock Pro, Classic GOLD
One belt, three levers. Choose the mechanism on the card: Classic, DualLock Pro, or the Classic GOLD Masterpiece — the same plate in a polished brass-tone finish.
Is this the one for you?
- Pick this if
- You know your thickness and would rather choose the lever yourself.
- Look elsewhere if
- You want the decision made for you — take the Dual Pro, the lever we would pick.
Step belowis the prong-buckle range, which threads rather than locks.
Full belt range →
06
3-Pin Adjustable Lever
A lever belt whose plate has three pin positions, so it adjusts across roughly three inches without a screwdriver. Still a lever — the pins are a feature of the plate.
Is this the one for you?
- Pick this if
- Your waist moves through a cut or a bulk, or one belt serves two disciplines.
- Look elsewhere if
- Your weight is stable. A fixed lever holds a fraction flatter.
Step belowis the single-position Classic lever.
Full belt range →
07
Hardware
Levers on their own, and hooks. A lever plate is a consumable on a belt that gets used — and it is how a Classic becomes a GOLD without a second belt.
Is this the one for you?
- Pick this if
- You already own an NBD lever belt and want to change or replace the plate.
- Look elsewhere if
- You do not own the belt yet. Buy the belt with the lever you want on it.
If you are still deciding
Mechanism, then thickness. In that order.
Thickness is the decision lifters agonise over. Mechanism is the one they feel every session — get it right first.
Lever
One cam, one setting. Locks at the same tension every rep and comes off in about three seconds — which matters more than it sounds between heavy singles. Changing the setting means moving the plate with a screwdriver.
10mmMost lifters
Breaks in within a few weeks and sits more comfortably off the floor. Enough belt for most lifters — including most who think they need 13mm.
13mmMax-effort
Three to four weeks of genuine break-in, then it holds a max-effort brace like nothing thinner does. For lifters who care most about the squat, and are patient.
GOLD leverFinish
The same plate and mechanism as the Classic, in polished brass tone. It buys appearance, not support — we would rather say so.

What this tier actually means
Nothing above it.
NBD Elite Premium Series is the tier. Everything on this page is the highest grade we make in its own category — a claim about position, not an adjective. There is a step below every item here, and each family says what it is.
Black is the finish, not the tier. Most of this collection is finished in black, which is where the older Black Series name came from — but the range now includes the Classic GOLD Masterpiece lever, so “all black” stopped being true before the name did. Thicker leather, tighter tolerances and a stiffer build are what these products share.
Already trained in an entry-tier NBD belt? The cards above show what the flagships buy you: thickness, mechanism, and how long the belt holds its shape under a brace you are actually afraid of. Every price on this page is live.
After the order
Owning one of these
Dispatch
XS to XL ship from stock. 2XL–5XL are made to order — add two to three business days before dispatch. The stack is sized over WhatsApp before it ships.
Break-in
A 13mm belt is supposed to feel wrong for the first few weeks. Wear it for warm-ups, roll it inward against its own curve, never force it flat. 10mm settles in a fortnight.
Care
Wipe it down after a session and let it dry away from direct heat. Don’t soak it or leave it in a car. Store it rolled, not folded.
Returns
7-day returns and exchanges from delivery, unused and in original condition. Made-to-order sizes are returnable, but the extra days aren’t recoverable — measure first, or message us.

Before you order
Questions we actually get
Can I wear an NBD belt at a meet?
NBD equipment is built to competition specification — uniform width, one-piece leather, competition-rated hardware. NBD is not on any federation’s list of permitted equipment, so check your own federation’s rules before you enter. We would rather tell you here than have you fail equipment check.
Should I take 10mm or 13mm?
10mm if this is your first or second belt, or you want to train in it next week. 13mm if the squat is the lift you care about and you can give it three to four weeks of break-in. Most lifters who agonise over this are happier in 10mm.
Is the 3-Pin a lever belt?
Yes. The three pin positions are a feature of the lever plate, giving about three inches of adjustment without a screwdriver. It is not a halfway house between a lever and a prong.
What size do I take?
Measure your bare waist at the navel, standing relaxed, not braced — tape flat and level, snug, not pulled tight. Not your trouser size, which runs two to three inches small. Use the tape on this page and every belt card picks your size. Between two sizes, take the larger: a lever belt adjusts inwards, never outwards.
Why do the largest sizes take longer?
2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL are made on demand rather than held in stock, so allow an extra two to three business days before dispatch. XS to XL ship from stock.
Is cash on delivery available?
Yes. COD charges are extra, shown at checkout, and scale with the order value. A COD order is confirmed once its COD charge is paid in advance; unconfirmed COD orders are cancelled after 24 hours. The full table opens from the shipping section above.
What does the GOLD lever change?
The finish. It is the same plate and the same mechanism as the Classic lever in polished brass tone. It buys appearance, not support.
Do you ship free?
Prepaid orders of ₹1,000 and above ship free, pan-India. COD orders carry the COD charge shown at checkout.
