The Wright Elite Bar isn't humble because it knows it's the best. One of the most affordable premium needle-bearing barbells on the market, the Wright Elite Bar utilizes eight German 28mm bearings for an elite spin experience during every lift.

Forged with 201,000 PSI tensile strength the Wright Elite Bar is an absolute beast in the gym and ready to handle all of the weight that any Olympic lifter can throw at it. The Wright Elite Bar is made right here in the USA for athletes searching for a premium spinning needle-bearing barbell.

Our Wright Elite Bars are finished with a signature black cerakote finish for increased rust resistance & longevity, with bright zinc finishings on the sleeves. Every Wright Elite Bar must pass a detailed 32 point check list inspection before being shipped to your gym so you can train with your equipment with confidence. Are you ready to lift with the Elite?

USA Sourced & Crafted

You can't make the greatest American barbell without the best USA steel. This barbell utilizes thick walled steel sleeves & steel that is ONLY found at US Steel Mills. The Next Gen Bearing Barbell is forged in Alabama from premium American sourced, high-grade 28mm steel and a proprietary heat treating process.

Needle Bearings & Cerakote

Needle Bearings: The Wright Elite Bar utilizes eight German 28mm needle bearings - the highest quality on the market - so you can experience the ultimate spinning barbell. If you're an Olympic style lifter then this is the barbell for you.

Cerakote Finish: The cerakote coating used on our Next Gen Bearing Barbells resists wear and tear over time by providing abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistance. This improves the strength and durability of your barbell.

USA Manufacturing Process

From checking in the steel to placing the barbell in its final packaging, the production of this barbell is controlled in the USA every step of the way.

Attention to detail is poured into every aspect of this barbell - from the knurling to the smoothness of each machined edge, pride is poured into every barbell that is produced so you can train with a truly USA made barbell that meets IWF Specifications.

Wright Elite Barbell Key Features

201,000 PSI Tensile Strength

  • Why 201,000 PSI? Research shows that this is the perfect tensile strength for weightlifting barbells. It is possible to heat treat something too much and while it may have tensile, it won’t have durability. The Wright Elite Barbell utilizes the perfect amount of tensile combined with durability. Thank you science.

100% Forged In USA

  • Manufactured, tested, crafted, and handled in the USA every step of the way.
  • From USA sourced steel to it's manufacturing in sweet home Alabama, the Wright Elite Barbell is built from premium materials head to toe.
  • Featuring a high grade 28mm steel, crafted with a proprietary heat-treating process that forges the steel shafts to 201,000 psi tensile strength – this is the perfect blend of strength and durability.
  • Each barbell uses steel ONLY from USA certified steel mills.

German 28mm Needle Bearings
