Needle Bearing Olympic Barbell

Fast Lifts. Smooth Spin. Needle Barbell Built to Perform.

The Silver Needle Bearing Barbell is built for lifters who demand speed, precision, and durability from every rep. Whether you're chasing a new PR in the snatch or pushing through high-rep cleans, this bearing barbell delivers with ultra-smooth sleeve rotation, powerful whip, and a solid steel build that stands up to heavy loads. Available in both 44 lb (28mm) and 33 lb (25mm) options, this needle bearing barbell is your go-to tool for Olympic weightlifting, Metcons, and serious strength training at home or in the gym.

Features and Benefits:

• NEEDLE-BEARING ROTATION: Each sleeve contains 2 high-quality needle bearings and a bushing to deliver fast, smooth spin—ideal for quick transitions during Olympic lifts like the snatch and clean & jerk. Enhanced rotation reduces wrist strain and helps prevent injury.
• COMPETITION-LEVEL PERFORMANCE: Built to meet the demands of serious lifters, this silver bearing barbell features a sleek black zinc-coated shaft and has been tested under the pressure of high-intensity workouts and competition-style lifts.
• CHROME OLYMPIC SLEEVES: Etched grooves on each sleeve help keep bumper plates from sliding during lifts. With 13" (women’s bar) or 16.25" (standard bar) of loadable sleeve length and a 2" diameter, these sleeves are compatible with all Olympic plates. A protective rubber ring near the collar shields against impact and wear of the barbell.
• OPTIMIZED DIAMETER OPTIONS: Choose your preferred grip: the 44 lb bar features a 28mm shaft, while the 33 lb bar offers a slimmer 25mm diameter for smaller hands or faster turnover in dynamic movements.
• WHIP FOR EXPLOSIVE POWER: Engineered for an excellent whip, helping lifters build momentum and energy transfer during explosive Olympic movements. Adds a dynamic edge to your clean, jerk, and snatch.
• KNURLING FOR GRIP & CONTROL: Medium-depth knurling with dual knurl-free guide marks helps lifters maintain a solid grip and chalk hold without excess abrasiveness. The 44 lb bar includes a center knurl for added grip during heavy lifts, while the 33 lb bar omits center knurling for comfort on cleans.
• HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION: Forged from durable steel with 150k PSI tensile strength (44 lb bar) and 165k PSI (33 lb bar). This barbell is built to handle heavy use in home gyms or light commercial settings.
• HIGH LOAD CAPACITY: Supports up to 1,000 lb (standard) and 500 lb (women’s barbell), making it ideal for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, WODs, and intense strength training routines.
