New Olympic Bar from Iron Grip
Free weights company Iron Grip is to add a new product to its family of premium Olympic bars, the Competition Series Needle Bearing bar.
The new bar is designed to be suitable for International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) Olympic-style competition, and is built exactly to IWF specifications.
Made in the USA, it's constructed with a 28mm premium steel shaft and features a heavy-duty swaged steel sleeve/collar assembly.
Each sleeve houses a combination of one heavy-duty ball bearing and four needle bearings, a combination designed to combine free and constant sleeve rotation with hard-wearing durability.
A proprietary snap ring locking system secures the shoulder bearings in position.
The completed bar features a durable Hard Chrome finish to protect against flaking or peeling, and is specifically treated to eliminate any hydrogen embrittlement.
