Molten B985 basketball, size 5, durable rubber, DBB Approved, indoor / outdoor

The Molten B985 is a high-quality size 5 training basketball designed for frequent use and intensive training sessions. Made from durable rubber, the ball provides excellent resistance to wear and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor basketball courts.

The textured, high-grip surface provides reliable ball handling and helps maintain control during dribbling, passing and shooting exercises. Its classic 8-panel design provides a familiar feel and consistent handling, making the B985 suitable for technical training and regular practice.

The internal construction features a 3-layer Butyl bladder reinforced with nylon. This construction helps maintain air pressure, preserve the ball's shape and provide consistent performance during repeated use.

With a weight of 470–500 g, a circumference of 690–710 mm and a diameter of 219.63–226.00 mm, the Molten B985 has the dimensions specified for this size 5 model. Its smaller dimensions compared with adult basketballs make it easier for young players to handle and control the ball while developing proper basketball technique.

The recommended inflation pressure is 0.49–0.63 bar. Maintaining the ball within this pressure range helps preserve its shape, bounce and playing characteristics.

Thanks to its robust rubber construction, the Molten B985 is suitable for intensive training in schools, basketball clubs and academies, as well as individual practice and recreational basketball.

The Molten B985 is officially approved by the DBB (German Basketball Federation) and carries the official DBB logo.
