The 28 mm shaft and durable needle bearings provide optimal whip and spin for snatch and clean \u0026amp; jerk. Like every bar in the Riot range, it is designed in-house, including the mid-width, sword-and-torch-inspired sleeve collar shared with the Women's Bar and the Hybrid Bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e28 mm Olympic Weightlifting Bar With Needle Bearings And Hard Chrome\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium-width sleeve collar is part of Riot's in-house design language. Its angled, faceted profile suggests an Olympic torch from one side and a blade from the other. On the Weightlifting and Hybrid Bars, it sits between the slimmer collar used on the Power Bars and the wider versions fitted to the Squat and Deadlift Bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard chrome covers the shaft and sleeves, using the same mirror-bright finish found on the sleeves throughout the Riot range. The thin, dense coating resists rust and abrasion while following the knurl profile closely, helping the moderate pattern retain a firm, secure grip through regular heavy training. Calibration is reserved for the stainless steel, nickel and black chrome bars in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sleeve rotates on needle bearings made from slim steel rollers arranged around the shaft. This rolling contact reduces friction and keeps sleeve rotation smooth through the turnover in the snatch and clean and jerk. Less rotational force reaches the hands and wrists as the bar moves into the catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 28 mm shaft provides a noticeable, controlled whip under load. During a heavy snatch or clean, the shaft flexes through the pull and rebounds as the lifter moves under the bar. Experienced lifters can coordinate the pull and catch with this movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar name, weight and shaft diameter are laser engraved on the inside face of the Sleeve Collar. The specifications remain visible whether the bar is hung, stacked or stored collar-first. The blue end cap repeats the 20 kg weight, making the correct bar easy to identify on a busy gym floor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strength Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58822408077696,"sku":"BAR-RIOT-WL-MEN","price":228.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/0222\/5661\/files\/BAR-RIOT-WL-MEN-00.jpg?v=1788188123","url":"https:\/\/www.strengthshop.ie\/products\/riot-weightlifting-bar-2-0-20-kg-iwf-mens-spec","provider":"Strength Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
