Intek Strength Needle Bearing Bar
Features & Highlights
- Hard Chrome – Chrome is a cost-efficient plating that does a good-but-not-great job at fighting off oxidation. You won’t get the same feel as you would with a non-plated finish like bare steel, stainless steel, etc… but you get a nice blend of feel and rust resistance without the larger price tag. The matte finish is a cool-looking feature that is different from the standard hard chrome.
- 28.5mm Shaft – The 28.5mm shaft on the Intek Needle Bearing Bar is comfortable in the hands and provides a nice balance between rigid and whippy, making it ideal for a variety of lifts. With the needle bearings, this bar will act more like an Olympic Weightlifting bar instead of a power bar despite the diameter splitting the difference between 28mm (Oly) and 29mm (power).
- Needle Bearings – The bar includes 4 needle bearings per sleeve for a total of 8 bearings in the bar.
- Grooved Sleeves – The grooved sleeves will tend to keep the plates on the bar better than a smooth sleeve when not using collars, but they will also be louder.
- No Center Knurl – The bar does not offer a center knurl, which makes it useful in high rep settings and more comfortable in the front rack position.
