Standard Olympic Bar V2 – 20 kg | 220 cm | 450 kg static load | 3 finishes available

The Standard Olympic Bar V2 by Maniak is a men's barbell built to official standards for weightlifting, powerlifting, and CrossFit. Made from high-strength steel, it's designed to handle heavy loads without bending, delivering reliable performance workout after workout.

With a total length of 220 cm and a 28 mm shaft diameter, this bar provides a balanced grip and the ideal amount of flex for dynamic movements. Its standard 20 kg weight complies with international regulations, making it a perfect choice for athletes in progress and boxes looking for a durable, all-purpose barbell.

It features 8 needle bearings (4 per sleeve), ensuring a smooth, consistent spin, essential for Olympic lifts like the clean & jerk or the snatch. The medium knurling, with dual reference marks (weightlifting and powerlifting), provides a secure and comfortable grip without tearing up your hands during long sessions or intense WODs.

Like all our barbells, it is compatible with Olympic plates (50 mm).
