REP Stainless Steel Power Bar V2
The REP Stainless Steel Power Bar V2 is the balanced power-bar option in REP’s lineup, with a stiff 29 mm stainless shaft, medium knurling, smooth stainless sleeves, and a 1,500 lb rating without the hand-shredding feel of the Deep Knurl EX.
Pros:
- Stainless shaft and sleeves resist corrosion
- 29 mm shaft stays stiff under powerlifting loads
- Medium knurl is easier on the hands than deep-aggressive bars
- Smooth sleeves reduce loading noise
- 1,500 lb rating
- Lifetime warranty
Cons:
- Premium price compared with coated bars
- Medium knurl may be too mild for lifters who want maximum bite
Brand:
REP Fitness

Powerlifters who want a low-maintenance stainless power bar with a stiff 29 mm shaft and a medium grip suitable for repeated heavy sets.
Skip If:
