We started with 216,200 psi steel. We cut the shaft down to 28.5mm- slightly larger than the normal 28mm Olympic diameter. The extra width takes down the whip just a touch, and makes the barbell better for the slow lifts- your deadlifting, squatting, and benching.
Then we run that steel through an aggressive knurling (the crosshatching), with marks (“rings”) for both powerlifting and olympic movements. Plus we add a center knurl.
The “hand” portions of the knurl are aggressive- but blunted. This is not a powerlifter “cheese grater” knurl- it’s a deep knurl that will leave your calluses happy.
We backed off the knurl a few inches from the center. Ever seen someone pull deadlifts until their shins bleed? Not on the Fringe Sport Hybrid Barbell.
We added 4 high precision needle bearing cartridges for a wicked spin. You’ll be thankful for the spin during your heavy Olympic lifts, plus it’s nice to have while you WOD. And the bearings we chose will play nice with your slow lifts.
