REP Women’s Excalibur Bar
The REP Women’s Excalibur bar is a nicely-spec’d multi-purpose barbell at a fair price.
This bar offers a hard chrome finish, a relatively high tensile strength, a reported yield strength, dual knurl marks, and a few other notable features.
Read below for further details.
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.
- Medium Knurl – This bar offers a medium-textured knurl that isn’t aggressive, nor is it passive. Some users have reported it being slightly more aggressive than comparably-spec’d multi-purpose bars.
- 25mm Shaft – The 25mm shaft on the REP Women’s Excalibur Bar is consistent with a female bar. This is will be comfortable in the hand and it will provide a nice amount of whip.
- Dual Knurl Marks – This is a multi-purpose bar with both IWF and IPF spec’d knurl rings, giving you the option to perform both power lifts and Oly lifts.
- Tensile & Yield Strength – The 215k PSI tensile strength on this bar on the higher end of the multi-purpose bar spectrum, in this price range especially. REP also reports a 205k yield strength.
- 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. The sleeves on this bar are also finished hard chrome.
- Bushings – The bar uses bronze bushings to spin, which is common in this type of application.
- No Center Knurl – The REP Women’s Excalibur Bar does not offer a center knurl, which is consistent with female bars.
