Description
The Troy Barbell Economy Olympic Bar is a budget-friendly option with an eye-catching chrome finish and a 30 mm diameter grip. The bar comes with an assertive knurling pattern for enhanced grip, along with a center knurl, and has an 86-inch length with a 500-pound weight limit. To keep manufacturing costs low, the bar features a bolted sleeve assembly.
In essence, the Troy USA Sports Olympic Bar aims to be cost-effective. It’s an excellent choice for general fitness needs in a home setting. While affordability comes at the expense of some quality, you may find that the chrome finish isn’t as long-lasting as pricier alternatives, and periodic tightening of the sleeve bolts will be necessary.
Though primarily designed for home use, the Troy USA GOB-86 Olympic Bar is versatile enough for lighter commercial use, making it suitable for small training studios, educational institutions, and emergency services fitness rooms.
