Description
Are you tired of your boring barbell that looks the same as every other barbell on the market? Kick your training up a notch with our Next Gen Cerakote Barbell - built for aesthetics from the highest quality materials right here in the USA.
Forged in Alabama from premium American sourced 28mm steel, the Next Gen Cerakote Barbell features a tensile strength of 201,000 PSI for extreme strength and durability. Load this barbell up with all the weights!
Your Next Gen Barbell is rigorously tested before shipping to your gym – the needle 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 - so you know you’re receiving nothing less than an elite quality, American made barbell.
Premium quality steel for strength, heavy-duty bearings for longevity and spin during lifts, with a Cerakote and black zinc finish for good looks & resisting rust – this barbell is a whole lot more than just its good looks.
Next Gen Cerakote Barbell Highlights:
-
USA Sourced & Crafted: You can't have the best American barbell without the greatest USA steel. This barbell utilizes thick walled steel sleeves & steel that is ONLY found at US Steel Mills. .The Next Gen Cerakote Barbell is forged in Alabama from premium American sourced, high-grade 28mm steel and a proprietary heat treating process. This allows for steel with an impressive 201,000 psi tensile strength so you can safely load up to 1,500lbs on your barbell!
-
201,000 PSI Tensile Strength: Why 201,000 PSI? Research shows that this is the perfect tensile for weightlifting barbells. It is possible to heat treat something too much and while it may have tensile, it won’t have durability. The Next Gen Cerakote Barbell has utilizes the perfect amount of tensile combined with durability.
-
Cerakote Finish: The cerakote coating used on our Next Gen Cerakote Barbells resists wear and tear over time by providing abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistance. This improves the strength and durability of your barbell. Cerakote also allows for the vivid colors that makes this barbell unique. We have found that when applied correctly, cerakote can have a far longer lasting coating than zinc and can stand up to the oils and acids that a barbell is exposed to. We recommend you use UHMW/Plastic covered J-Hooks as direct metal contact will scratch the cerakote coating.
-
Needle Bearings: The Next Gen Cerakote Barbell sources the most heavy-duty bearings that allows for incredible spin. These bearings are tested to 20,000 drops to insure this barbell is training with you for years.
-
Precision CNC Machining: Next Gen Cerakote Barbell sleeves are precision machined to offer you the most possible loadable area. Next Gen Cerakote Barbells utilize top of the line CNC equipment to machine the steel to a ±.002 tolerance. That is half the thickness of a piece of paper.
-
USA Quality Manufacturing: From checking in the steel to placing in the final package, we control the process. We follow our process to make sure that as each part passes its detailed grueling inspection. From the knurling to the smoothness of each machined edge we take pride in making the best barbell we possibly can. When this is all finished you have one of the only true USA made bars that meets IWF Specifications.

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. "
