OPEN HEX BAR TOPGRADE Black

OPEN HEX BAR TOPGRADE – 18 kg | 320 kg max load | Rotating handles

The OPEN HEX BAR TOPGRADE by Maniak is a high-performance hex bar designed to deliver a versatile, functional, and safe training experience. Its open design and sturdy frame make it perfect for traditional pulling movements like deadlifts, as well as dynamic compound movements such as farmer carries, lunges, rows, or step-ups without any mobility restrictions.

This TOPGRADE version goes a step further thanks to its rotating handle system, which reduces stress on wrists and elbows during lifts, enhances movement control, and offers a smoother feel, especially under heavy loads.

In addition, its matte black finish, combined with its clean and professional design, makes it not only a functional tool but also a striking addition to any gym or training facility.
