Product Highlights

Wright’s Next Generation Bearing Barbells offer functionality, style and durability at an exceptional price. Both the 15- and 20-kilogram bar is offered in seven Cerakote colored finishes on the shaft and the sleeves come coated in either a black or clear zinc. Made from American Steel, the Next Generation Barbells each undergo a rigorous 22-point inspection to ensure it meets the highest standards. 

With a 201,000 PSI tensile strength, lifters can rest assured that this bar is built to last. Each bar is outfitted with needle bearings which make for a fast spin. The dual knurling marks are more aggressive than you may find on other barbells. But, the knurling goes all the way to the sleeve on both the 15- and 20-kilogram barbell, which is a nice touch when using a wider grip.
