The bar is great and competitively priced. The grip isn't as harsh as I thought it would be as well as what I'd have liked it to be but that's a personal preference.

OK, so bars aren’t just bars.
We’ve all been to globo-gyms with bent bars and soft knurling. We knew what we wanted when going to market for barbells. Ensuring correct specifications and knurling was a must when approaching an Olympic Barbell.
8 needle bearings ensure smooth rotation in each sleeve. At 28mm, a moderate amount of whip if felt by lifters. Overall, a bar that suits any lifter that is not in critical need of centre knurling
For our Olympic Barbell offering, we sort a high tensile and durable alloy. Competition length and specification spacing on the bar with dual Weightlifting and Powerlifting knurling.
It had to meet Weightlifting specifications, so a 28mm and 2.2m shaft was non-negotiable. At 20kg weight, we wanted it not to cost a fortune as well.
So this is what we have, two versions of our Olympic Barbell, that should last you for a very long time, load rated way more than you can ever lift, and with our signature logo on the end.

Great barbell, spins well, knurling feels good without being too aggressive
