20kg Olympic Barbell 2.2m Men’s Bar 1500lbs

Men’s Olympic Weightlifting 20kg Barbell – GravoMax Monkey King Bar (MKB20)

The GravoMax Monkey King Bar 20kg is built for lifters who want a true men’s Olympic feel in NZ — a 28mm shaft, fast bearing rotation, and the right balance of stiffness and whip for explosive lifts.
First, the bearing system keeps the sleeves moving smoothly during turnover.
Then, the volcano knurl gives a secure grip without feeling harsh in high-rep sessions.
Finally, the full hard chrome finish helps the bar stay clean and professional through daily training.

If you prefer a lighter bar designed around women’s Olympic standards, compare it with the GravoMax Monkey Bar 15kg.

How is this 20kg Olympic bar built?

The MKB20 uses spring steel with a 28mm shaft and a 2200mm overall length — the standard profile for men’s Olympic lifting.
With 200,000 PSI tensile strength and a 1500LB load rating, it stays stable under heavy work while still providing the controlled flex lifters expect for snatches and clean & jerk.
In addition, the hard chrome coating helps resist rust, chalk build-up, and day-to-day wear, so the bar stays consistent over time.

What sets the Monkey King Bar apart?

• Elite rotation system: 8 needle bearings + 2 bushings per sleeve for fast, smooth spin
• Volcano knurl (P1.2 depth): secure grip that stays comfortable in high-volume sessions
• Optimised sleeves: 30mm flange width + 0.8mm groove pattern for stable plate loading
• Hard chrome finish: durable surface that keeps a clean, professional look

Who should use this 20kg bar?

• Olympic lifters training snatch and clean & jerk who want predictable spin
• CrossFit athletes who need smooth sleeves for bar cycling and complexes
• Intermediate to advanced lifters upgrading to competition-style rotation
• Gyms and studios that need a durable, high-use bearing bar
