Performance Weightlifting Bar
Eleiko is the gold standard for Olympic weightlifting. Their proprietary Swedish steel and precision needle bearings provide a spin and 'whip' that is unmatched for snatches and clean-and-jerks.
Ingredients & Purity
Proprietary Swedish steel rated at 215,000 PSI. The steel is specifically formulated for flexibility (whip) and returning to perfectly straight.
Scientific Evidence
Every bar undergoes magnetic particle inspection to detect any microscopic cracks. Eleiko has been the supplier for 5 Olympic Games.
Brand Transparency
Eleiko provides detailed technical specs on their 'Eleiko Feeling' and the specific tolerances of their needle bearings.
Value Assessment
High entry price, but these bars are known to last 30+ years in commercial environments, giving them the lowest 'cost per year' in the industry.
Why Not Alternatives?
Cheaper 'Olympic' bars often use bushings rather than needle bearings, which fail to provide the necessary rotation speed for high-level lifting. Eleiko's steel is vacuum-hardened, making it significantly more durable than the 190k PSI steel used by budget competitors.
