The Junior Olympic Barbell V2 by Maniak is the ideal choice for youth athletes or athletes with a smaller build who are ready to train with a real barbell but are not yet prepared to handle a 15 or 20 kg one. Weighing 12 kg, with a reduced length of 180 cm and a fully professional construction, this barbell is perfect for the transition between technical and standard Olympic barbells.
Made of 160,000 PSI steel, it features 4 needle bearings (2 per side) that ensure smooth and controlled rotation, especially in movements like snatch or clean & jerk. Its 25 mm grip diameter is designed for smaller hands or developing athletes, without sacrificing technical feel or performance.
