Product Overview
Engineered for reliability and rotation, the Cheshire Bar blends a stout 32 mm shaft with needle-bearing sleeves to deliver smooth turnover without sacrificing stability under heavy loads. Whether you’re running high-rep conditioning or drilling technical Olympic lifts, the spin is consistent, quiet, and controlled. The peaked diamond knurl provides a confident hold that won’t shred the hands during volume work, while dual knurl marks support powerlifting and weightlifting setups across your gym.
Available options: 6ft & 7ft lengths · Black (black hardened chrome) or Silver Steel (hardened chrome)
32mm Performance Shaft
Sturdier feel under load for heavy presses, pulls, and squats.
Silky Sleeve Spin
Two precision needle bearings per sleeve for fluid, predictable rotation.
Premium Finishes
Black hardened chrome or classic hardened chrome for durability.
Grip That Lasts
Peaked diamond knurl - secure, not sharp; no centre knurl.
Sleeve Rotation (Why it matters)
- Two precision needle bearings per sleeve minimise friction for a buttery, predictable spin—ideal for snatches, cleans, and any work where smooth turnover protects the elbows and shoulders.
- Rotation is tuned for controlled speed, so plates don’t whip and your positions stay tight under load.
Knurling
- Pattern: Peaked diamond—secure without feeling sharp
- Centre knurl: Omitted for comfort across the traps during front squats and high-bar positions
