AFTON RAKT – 20kg Men’s Powerlifting Barbell (Dark Chrome + Hard Chrome)

A stiff, aggressive bar for heavy singles and brutal volume

Olympic bars whip; a powerlifter wants the opposite. The AFTON RAKT is built with 200,000 PSI tensile strength steel and a 29 mm shaft for maximum rigidity, so there is effectively zero whip and the load stays stable where it matters under squats, benches and deadlifts.

Who it's for

Powerlifters and serious strength athletes in commercial and home gyms who want a rigid, aggressive bar for heavy work.

Key benefits

Aggressive knurling gives a deep, confident grip designed for heavy singles, doubles and brutal volume cycles. A rigid 29 mm steel core with 200,000 PSI tensile strength means minimal whip and maximum stability, so the bar does not flinch under load. Knurl marks are aligned to IPF standard for correct hand placement, and a dark-chrome shaft with hard-chrome sleeves resists corrosion, oxidation and wear over time. The bar is 2200 mm long with 415 mm sleeves and a 50 mm sleeve diameter in alloy steel.

Specifications
