More user-friendly

Provides the user with the most efficient and user friendly locking mechanism on the market. It has never been easier or more addictive to secure weights. With only two fingers, it's done. Lift, Slide, Lock. 

Tidier

People love a clean and tidy gym. The SlideLock being built in to the bar itself means you can keep your gym tidier with no more clips and collars lying around. That means no more picking them up, stepping on them or having them clutter up the place. 

Safer

SlideLocks make for a safer gym experience, thanks to its great accessibility. Users choose to utilize the SlideLock more frequently than regular collars. Keeping the user and their surroundings safe.

Economic

Clips and collars are unreliable. It's only a matter of time before you need to buy new ones, and that cost adds up over the years. Having built-in collars erases that from the equasion, so you don't have to worry about replacing collars on every bar in your gym. Ever.

Gungnir bars have been awarded with the 2021 Red Dot design award, Garage Gym Reviews' most innovative barbell 2022, and the prestigious FIBO Innovation & Trend Award 2022, and the 2023 DOGA design award
