What production methods and materials do we use?
We use a carefully selected high-strength steel that is both tough and ductile all at once, allowing us to have a long lasting and strong even with our SlideLock design. The high-end steel has been machined by advanced state-of-the-art CNC-machines. Our SlideLock is made of grade 5 titanium, which is incredibly strong and tough, and often used in aerospace and racecars.
Gungnir products are designed for sustainability and durability. Our highest priority is to ensure that the components and materials chosen to make our bars are of the highest quality, so that they may stand the test of time.
Will there be a gap between the SlideLock and the plates?
Due to the design of the sleeve and grooves, there may be a maximum gap of 4mm between the SlideLock and the plates. This has no effect on the user experience and has been tested with all types of athletes and gym users over several years in a variety of gym environments. It is worth noting that conventional collars tend to slide more than 4mm during the lift and throughout the exercise, which can cause the plates to fall off and lead to potential injury, especially with dumbbells. Although there may be a gap in some cases, the SlideLock won't move and will keep you safe throughout your workout.
