Why Choose the OB86
If you want the classic, bright look, the chrome OB86 is it — a triple-plated chrome finish that resists rust, chipping and peeling and wipes clean easily. Same bar, same 272 kg capacity as the black OB86B; just a different finish. Load it up with rubber-grip Olympic plates or grab the 112.5 kg plate set.
Product Description
Designed to take you to super-heavy workloads and precision-engineered from the highest-quality components. The triple-plated chrome finish protects against rusting, chipping, scarring and peeling, and keeps the classic bright-bar look. A 30 mm grip and 131 cm loadable length between the collars suit all the main barbell lifts, with 40 cm sleeves for any Olympic plates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the chrome and black bars?
Only the finish. The OB86 (chrome) has a bright triple-plated chrome coating; the OB86B (black) has a matte black oxide coating. Length, grip, sleeves, weight and 272 kg capacity are identical — choose the look you prefer.
What plates does it take?
Any Olympic (2″) plates load onto the 40 cm sleeves. Plates are sold separately.
How heavy is the bar and how much can it hold?
The bar weighs 20 kg and is rated to a 272 kg weight capacity.
Will it fit my rack and Olympic plates?
Yes — it's a standard 2.18 m Olympic bar with 30 mm grip and 50 mm sleeves, so it fits standard Olympic racks and plates.
