Overview
Specification-based profile. We have not tested this product hands-on and do not give it a review score. How we research.
BodyMax gives the bar as 2155 mm long with 1320 mm between the sleeves, a 30 mm grip and 49.5 mm sleeves, rated to 180 kg (the name says 400 lb).
The description gives the bar's weight as 18 kg while the specification table lists 20 kg without saying what it covers, so both are shown. Sleeve length, bearings and finish are not published. The parts warranty is two years for home use.
