Overview
Specification-based profile. We have not tested this product hands-on and do not give it a review score. How we research.
The shaft is aluminium with a red oxide coating, and the sleeves are chrome-covered seamless steel on two needle bearings and two bushings. It weighs 7 kg against 15 or 20 kg for a steel bar, so it suits learning the Olympic lifts or starting light.
The 80 kg maximum is the limit to plan around: a pair of 20 kg bumpers and a pair of 15 kg bumpers already total 70 kg. Body Power gives 24.5 cm of loadable sleeve but not the shaft length between the sleeves, so check rack fit separately.
