Olympic Barbell Standard V2 – 20 kg | 220 cm | 450 kg Static Load | 3 Finish Options

The Olympic Barbell Standard V2 by Maniak is a men's barbell, with official dimensions and specifications for weightlifting, powerlifting, and CrossFit. Made from high-strength steel, it's built to handle demanding loads without bending, offering reliable performance session after session.

With a total length of 220 cm and a 28 mm shaft diameter, this barbell provides a balanced feel and ideal whip for dynamic lifts. Its standard 20 kg weight complies with international standards, making it a perfect choice for progressing athletes and boxes looking for a durable, versatile barbell.

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

As with all our barbells, it's compatible with Olympic plates (50 mm center hole).
