Product Summary
The training version of the certified Eleiko IWF Weightlifting Competition Bar, NxG, offers the feel and performance of the competition bar. The bar features all needle bearings for smooth, even rotation and our elastic yet strong proprietary Swedish steel and signature knurling optimized for training.
Made of ultra-clean Swedish steel, this bar features a re-engineered, dustproof sleeve for greater longevity and optimized rotation for superior performance at all loads. The spin in our bar offers more control and the rotation is more stable, giving you a more complete and precise lifting experience.
We have improved the bearing construction, modified our greasing processes, and incorporated a dustproof seal making our sleeves even more durable. These enhancements positively impact bar performance and your experience as a lifter and bar owner. Our new design minimizes wear on crucial parts, ensures sleeves remain clean longer, and that greased components stay well lubricated for years with minimal maintenance.
We combine the finest materials, precision needle bearings and extremely tight tolerances, along with 60 years of barbell manufacturing expertise to create this outstanding bar.
