Overview

The Riot Power Bar combines competition-style dimensions with a durable hard chrome finish designed for everyday training. Its 29 mm shaft, sharp 1.2 mm diamond centre knurl and 81 cm markings give it the familiar feel of a competition power bar across squats, bench presses and deadlifts. Although it is not calibrated or certified for IPF competition, its key dimensions and knurl layout match those of the Riot competition models. Like every bar in the Riot range, it was designed in-house, including the distinctive sleeve collar inspired by both a sword blade and an Olympic torch.

Hard Chrome Powerlifting Barbell With 29 mm Shaft And Controlled Rotation

An in-house-designed sleeve collar gives the Riot range its distinctive look. Its angled, faceted shape suggests an Olympic torch from one side and a blade from the other. On the Power Bars, the sleeve collar is the slimmest in the range. The Weightlifting, Hybrid, Squat and Deadlift Bars use wider versions scaled to their respective proportions.

The 29 mm shaft and sleeves have a hard chrome finish, using the same durable, polished coating proven across the sleeves of the Riot range. Hard chrome forms a thin, dense layer with high resistance to rust and abrasion. Because the coating follows the knurl profile closely, the bar maintains a firm, secure grip through years of heavy training. This Power Bar retains the standard ±1% weight tolerance of a training bar but is not calibrated for competition.

Graphite-infused bronze bushings provide a slower, more controlled sleeve rotation. Each solid bronze bushing contains graphite particles embedded directly in the metal, where they act as permanent internal lubrication. The graphite does not dry out and continues to lubricate the bushings throughout the working life of the bar. Compared with needle bearings, the bushings rotate with more resistance, keeping the sleeves calmer under load. During squats and bench presses, this reduces unnecessary plate rotation and over-rotation, helping the loaded bar remain stable instead of introducing additional movement.

At 29 mm, the shaft gives this powerlifting barbell the stiffness required to remain stable and predictable during heavy squats and bench presses. The shaft remains stable under heavy squats and bench presses, while retaining enough controlled flex to avoid feeling overly rigid in the hands. Its behaviour sits between the pronounced whip of the Riot Deadlift Bar and the near-zero flex of the Riot Squat Bar.

Powerlifting Barbell With Slim Sleeve Collar And Clear Identification

Every Riot bar uses the same identification system. The product name, weight and shaft diameter are laser-engraved on the inner face of the sleeve collar, keeping the specifications legible throughout the working life of the bar, whether it is hung, stacked or stored with the sleeve collar facing forwards. The end cap provides the essential information at a glance. It is colour-coded by weight, blue for this 20 kg Power Bar, with the weight printed directly on the cap. This makes it easy for anyone on the gym floor to identify the correct bar for the intended discipline without checking a separate label.
