  • CRAFTED FOR WEIGHTLIFTING

    Everything you want in a weightlifting bar, and nothing you don't - 28mm shaft, 20kg weight, weightlifting & powerlifting marks, and medium knurling. We stopped there because, well, it's already perfect.

  • SMOOTH-SPIN & LIVELY WHIP

    The smooth-spinning needle bearings feel like butter as you hit a new snatch PR. Plus, that 28mm diameter shaft offers a solid whip for using to your advantage. No - it's not cheating, Carl.

    Good bar for the price

    I would -and do- recommend this bar to weightlifters of beginner to intermediate seriousness.

    Allow me to preface my review with: before this bar I have only used fancy Swedish bars in fancy Swedish gyms.

    The bar was a little stiffer than I expected, but my only real complaint is the knurling, which I thought could be more aggressive. I think the machining process to make the knurl took multiple passes at different tracking speeds to make the grip a little more comfy. As a result, the knurl isn't quite even, and is more aggressive right outside the outer band then it is near the collar or inside the bands, however it's all totally usable. I'd appreciate only one band and some center knurling too, but hey.

    The sleeves are grooved to help keep plates on, however I find I *really* need to use clips, that could certainly be an issue with my plates though. Spin is totally fine.

    I've had the bar for about 5 months now, since then I've noticed a bit of rust on the end of the sleeves a few times, but I've been able to totally brush that off.

    There is a bit of lateral play on the sleeves, but it's totally fine, I think it may contribute to the bar bouncing to the side when it's dropped, but its not noticeable when lifting.

    Great bar

    Great weightlifting bar, perfect amount of whip and the feel is totally unlike a power bar even at less than 100lbs, which is perfect for me.

    If you have ever trained with a weightlifting bar for an extended period of time you know the feeling is very much different than a power bar or regular run of the mill gym bar. This bar has that same Olympic weightlifting bar feel that other big names have.

    Love the bar.

    Everything I wanted!

    Great Spin! The knurl might be a bit aggressive for some, but I really like it. Really allows me to knock out high rep olympic lifts while keeping a good grip on the bar.

    Overall good bar

    Overall it would have been a pretty good bar, but it had some manufacturing defects in the bearing on one side was not concentric.

    Super aggressive knurling

    They took care of me without any questions or hesitation.
