Gungnir Allrounder
The Gungnir Allrounder is the built-in-collar bar in the collar roundup because its integrated SlideLock system removes the need for separate collars entirely. The bar itself is a 20 kg, 28 mm multipurpose design with 216,000 PSI tensile strength and a lifetime warranty.
Pros:
- Integrated SlideLock eliminates separate collars
- Fast, streamlined plate changes
- 216,000 PSI tensile strength
- Comfortable medium knurl
- Premium construction and finish
- Lifetime warranty
Cons:
- Very expensive
- 28 mm diameter may feel different to lifters used to 29-30 mm bars
- Medium knurl may be too passive for some heavy strength work
- Some packaging complaints were noted
