The BLK BOX Hybrid Bar offers high performance in a style of your choosing. Available in six colours, the Hybrid Bar offers high performance tuned to the training styles of hybrid training, functional training and CrossFit.
Featuring a bespoke colour finish, each Hybrid bar blends performance with versatility, with its dual knurl markings perfect for consistent hand placement for both weightlifting and powerlifting movements. 4 needle bearings mixed with bronze bushings, combined with the absence of a centre knurl not only ensure a smooth and consistent spin under load, but also no damage to the chest or neck when performing high reps of Olympic movements.
Its 190 kPSI shaft ensures that not only is the bar ready to survive a lifetime of drops, but also has a good whip and natural feel. Its bespoke finish ensures each athlete can experience the deeper knurl and enhanced grip the Hybrid Bar offers.

How durable is the bars finish?
The BLK BOX Hybrid Bar – 15kg features a bespoke coloured finish, offering a good level of corrosion resistance and durability while greatly enhancing the athlete to feel the knurl. We recommend regular cleaning of the bar using a nylon bristle barbell brush. DO NOT clean the BLK BOX Hybrid Bar with cleaning or disinfectant/sanitising spray or any other chemical cleaning product, as this can damage the bars finish.
Why are bearings important?
Bearings are introduced into barbells to ensure a smooth and/or fast spin when performing Olympic weightlifting movements. This spin reduces the force exerted on an athlete’s wrists during these movements. The BLK BOX Hybrid Bar has 4 sets of needle bearings, ensuring a smooth spin under heavy loads and reducing the torque experienced by athletes during the movements.
Why is whip important?
Barbell whip is phenomenon best recognised where the bar seems to bend during a movement, then snap back into its straight position. It allows the athlete to introduce momentum into their lifts that is caused but the bar, and not by them. A lifter can use the whip of the bar to help propel the weight upward adding incremental gains to their training. Although it removes some stability from the bar, a bar with high whip can handle a lot more weight before bending permanently than a bar with lower whip.
