Available in both men's and women's specifications, this barbell delivers the performance and durability required for daily use in commercial gyms and competition environments.

Specifications Overview

Knurling

The barbell features diamond knurling with IWF standard specifications: P1.2mm spacing and 0.25-0.35mm depth.
