PRx Mako Olympic Barbell

Built for speed, precision, and explosive lifting, the PRx Mako Olympic Barbell is designed for athletes who take Olympic weightlifting seriously. Its high-whip 28mm shaft provides the flex and rebound needed for dynamic movements, while needle bearings deliver fast, smooth sleeve rotation through cleans, jerks, and snatches. With 190,000+ PSI tensile strength and a 1,500 lb static load capacity, the Mako combines responsive lifting performance with the strength to handle demanding training sessions. IWF-standard knurl markings support consistent hand placement, while passive knurling provides grip without the overly aggressive feel of a dedicated powerlifting bar. Finished in hard chrome with grooved sleeves, the PRx Mako 20kg Olympic Weightlifting Barbell is purpose-built for athletes who prioritize bar speed, controlled turnover, and confident technique. From practicing your first snatch to pushing for a new clean & jerk personal record, the Mako is ready to move with you.
