Overview
A 2 inch Olympic barbell sold in 4ft, 5ft and 6ft lengths, with sleeves that fit standard Olympic plates. The 6ft version specs out at 700 lb capacity and 150,000 PSI tensile strength, aimed at home gym squat racks and power racks.
PAPABABE positions this bar for lifters who want a shorter Olympic bar for a smaller space or for coaching movements like rows and warm-ups. IPF knurl markings with a moderate volcano pattern aim for a grip that holds without tearing hands up, and the needle bearing plus brass bushing rotation system is built to spin quietly rather than clank.
- 700 lb weight capacity on the 6ft version
- 150,000 PSI tensile strength shaft
- IPF knurl markings with moderate volcano knurling
- Hard chrome finish for rust resistance
Who it's for
Home gym owners with limited rack width, and coaches who want a lighter bar for teaching squat form or running warm-up sets before loading a full 45 lb bar. The shorter lengths also suit smaller lifters and apartment setups.
Pros and cons
- Compatible with all standard 2 inch Olympic plates
- Shorter lengths save rack space versus a 7ft bar
- Sleeves spin on bearings and bushings for smoother lifts
- Not a full length competition bar
- New users may need time to adjust
Performance notes
The moderate volcano knurling is designed to bite without shredding hands, and the hybrid needle bearing and brass bushing combination is meant to let the sleeves rotate freely under load, reducing wrist strain during spins on cleans and swings. A hard chrome finish over the shaft is intended to resist rust from sweat and humidity.
