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.
- 28mm Shaft – The 28mm shaft on the Vulcan One Basic Bushing Bar is consistent with Olympic Weightlifting bars despite it being a multi-purpose bar. This diameter will offer a comfortable grip and a whippy shaft ideal for Oly lifts.
- Dual Knurl Marks – This bar offers dual knurl marks, making it a multi-purpose bar.
- Tensile Strength – The 190k PSI tensile strength is in the wheelhouse for multi-purpose bars.
- 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 are also finished in hard chrome.
- Bushings – The bar offers a bronze bushing rotation system.
- No Center Knurl – The Vulcan One Basic Bushing Bar does not offer a center knurl, making it ideal for high volume/rep training. It will generally be a more comfortable bar.

What They’re Saying at Vulcan Strength
The Vulcan One Basic Bushing Bar receives very positive feedback from users. With a 5/5 average rating at vulcanstrength.com, here are some of the things people have said:
Positive
- “Good quality and value for money. Knurling is just right, not too rough that your hands get torn up but still provides a good grip.”
- “Deciding to leave my local gym, I went online to search for home equipment. This bar was well reviewed and I can see why. I can’t imagine a better bar for the price I paid. With weights/bars being so hard to find and price inflation rampant, I respect Vulcan for keeping its prices and free shipping in check. Totally worth the wait.”
- “Great barbell for the price. I thought it was to good to be true before I got my hands on it. It’s solid and so comfortable. I love Vulcan and their craftsmanship.”
- “Great bar for the home gym. Spin could be better but for the price it does all that I want. Knurl is plenty for all around lifting.”
- “I bought the Vulcan Basic Bar and have so far been delighted with it. It is priced very well for such a well-made bar, it has a hard chrome finish so it should require little maintenance, and the spins are long and smooth. Compared to the battered, frozen bars at my gym this is a huge improvement. Vulcan seems to have staked its claim as offering the best equipment at the best price.”
- “The build quality is top notch; knurling is medium/mild. I haven’t used enough weight yet to test the whip or any of that; all I know is that the bar spin is good and there is no play in the bushings. I’d recommend!”
