![]() The attention to detail, material selection, construction quality, and performance of this bar place it in a class of its own, something we can say about all Kabuki barbells and products. The knurl of our bar is finer than most barbells you will find, giving the knurl more contact points per square inch and creating more surface area in which to create friction. We wanted to create something that grabbed well, but wasn’t so unnecessarily sharp that it cut your hands, rather than grabbing. ![]() Even where the bar contacts the rack it will maintain that fine, tacky, aggressive knurl, just like the day it was unboxed.ĭuring the design engineering phase, we put a lot of resources and time into the knurl on this barbell. What this means in practical terms is that the knurl won’t wear down over the years, leaving you with a bar that is performing sub par, compared to when it was new. With a tensile strength of over 250k PSI and a Rockwell hardness of 51 RC, this bar is harder than any other bar currently on market. Overall this bar has been tested and retested many times with every feature and specification in mind. The knurl took us many many revisions to figure out until we all agreed on the production version of the knurl – widely considered to be the best knurl in the industry. Lots of testing was performed on the hardening process and figuring out a way to create the hardest bar while still allowing for whip and preventing the bar from snapping. Materials selection involved testing to determine the optimal steel alloy to use. What is it about our new generation bars that sets them apart? A comprehensive testing and methodology was used throughout the entire product development process for our new generation bars. The “Kabuki Feel” as, as it’s commonly referred to, is the result of a unique combination of innovations in material selection, proprietary manufacturing processes, and our comprehensive practical and theoretical experience in barbell design. ![]() Our unique knurl design is lauded as one of the “stickiest” bar-to-human interfaces without cutting the lifter's hands. In one customer’s own words, this bar is “functional/industrial art…an object lesson in craftsmanship and precision”įeaturing an unmatched tensile strength and hardness of 250k PSI and 51 rockwell respectively, the 250k Power Bar achieves these incredible numbers through a proprietary metallurgical heat treat process that results in a long lasting bar you can hand down for generations. In the spirit of innovation, we took the same design engineering and analytic development principles that were cornerstones in the design of our specialty bars and applied them to a long-unchanged and stagnant design of a standard olympic straight bar to make it better and higher performing than anything on the market to this day. ![]() When we introduced the 250k Power Bar five years ago, it took the strength world by storm as the industry’s hardest, most durable, and most refined straight barbell design.
