Features & Benefits
Lightweight Technique Training Design
The 813OB-72TB is built for lifters who need a lighter Olympic-style bar for practicing movement patterns. Its 17 lb product weight makes it easier to use for beginners, youth athletes, warm-ups, and technical barbell drills.
28mm Aluminum Shaft
The 28mm aluminum shaft gives the bar a familiar grip diameter while keeping the overall weight lighter than a standard Olympic bar. This makes it useful for teaching proper grip, bar path, setup, and lifting mechanics.
Gray Cerakote Shaft Finish
The gray cerakote coated shaft provides a clean look and helps support regular use in training spaces. The polished sleeves add contrast while giving the bar a finished appearance for gym and facility settings.
Smooth Sleeve Rotation
The bar includes a needle bearing and oil-impregnated brass bushing system to support smooth sleeve movement. This helps users practice lifts that require rotation, including cleans, snatches, presses, and other Olympic-style movements.
Medium Knurl Pattern
The medium knurl pattern helps provide a secure grip during training. The bar has no center knurling, making it more comfortable for technique drills, front rack positions, and repeated skill practice.
Double Snap Ring Construction
The double snap ring design helps support the strength and integrity of the sleeve assembly. This gives the bar a dependable build for daily training use in gyms, schools, and athletic facilities.
Steel End Cap Design
The steel end cap includes the TKO logo and bar color designation, helping users and staff quickly identify the bar within a busy training space.
