Most barbells at this price point are hand-knurled, resulting in an inconsistent finish. Our Intro barbells are knurled using a computer-controlled machining process. This results in the most uniform and consistent knurling possible which means a more comfortable and reliable grip and better performance for you!
If you're doing Olympic lifts with bumpers around 100kg or less, these bars will survive being dropped. For slow, compound lifts like squats or deadlifts they're good to 220kg. If you're planning to consistently lift above 220kg, we suggest you upgrade to our 15kg/20kg Hybrid, 20kg Powerlifting, or 15kg/20kg Needle-bearing barbell.
