Description
Forged in Alabama from premium American 28mm steel, the Next Gen Bearing Bar features a tensile strength of 201,000 PSI for extreme strength and durability.
All Next Gen Barbells are rigorously tested – the bearings have been tested to withstand over 20,000 drops, in-house CNC automation allows for machining of parts with a +/-.002 tolerance, and barbells must pass a 22-point inspection before hitting the market, so you know you’re receiving nothing less than an elite quality barbell.
Premium quality steel for strength, heavy-duty bearings for longevity and spin during lifts, with a Cerakote finish for good looks while resisting rust – this barbell is a whole lot more than just good looks.
Looking for the same premium barbell but with flashy colors to choose from? Check out the Next Gen Cerakote Barbell.

- From USA sourced steel to it's manufacturing in sweet home Alabama, the Next Gen Cerakote Barbell is built from premium materials head to toe.

- Each barbell uses steel ONLY from USA certified steel mills.
- USA sourced heavy-duty bearings are incorporated into every barbell so that you experience a silky-smooth spin during every lift.

- The Next Gen Cerakote Barbell has thick-walled steel sleeves which are precision machined to offer the most possible loadable area.

- Cerakote is a ceramic and polymer coating that creates dazzling colors and increases durability by resisting rust.

What Customers Are Saying...
"If you are looking for a high quality barbell at an affordable price, the Wright Next Generation Bearing Barbell is a fantastic choice. Made with American Steel, the barbell is offered with either clear or black zinc sleeves. Should you prefer Cerakote coating on the sleeve, barbells can be custom ordered.
The Next Generation Barbells meet IWF specifications with a 28-millimeter diameter on the 20-kilogram bar. Each bar must pass a 22-point inspection process, which ensures the quality that the Wright name brings. Additionally, with a 201,000 PSI tensile strength, these barbells are built to last.
The dual knurling on these barbells is more aggressive than comparable bars. This makes them less than ideal for high rep workouts but, with a fast spin and moderate whip, the Next Generation Barbells are still great for both powerlifting and CrossFit workouts. And, the knurling goes all the way to the collar which is great for people with long arms, mobility issues or those who otherwise prefer the full length.
Further, the lack of a center knurl makes for an all around great barbell. There are some reviews out there that felt the spin was noisy and not smooth but, the overwhelming majority had only positive things to say about the spin. The Wright Next Generation Bearing Barbells are easily maintained as the needle bearings can be removed and cleaned. "
