Overview
Specification-based profile. We have not tested this product hands-on and do not give it a review score. How we research.
Gym Gear describes a black zinc-coated shaft, chrome sleeves running on copper bushings, a 28 mm knurled grip with 1.2 mm knurl depth and an integrated end cap. It gives 20 kg for this 7 ft bar and a 700 lb (317.5 kg) weight capacity.
The maker page gives no metric overall length, sleeve length or sleeve diameter. Its '37-inch internal dimensions' does not say what is measured, so it is not recorded as the shaft length. The dimension diagram in Fytique's gallery is the merchant's image, not a Gym Gear source.
