The Allrounder has been tested extensively in a drop-testing machine that simulates the varieties of 15.000 real life drops. In these tests, we dropped the bar at heights of 1.6m, loaded with 320kg of plates, as well as heights of 2.2m with 90kg. In addition, the strength of the “teeth” in the SlideLock were tested in a hydraulic press where the lock endured a vertical pressure of 15.000kg, while staying perfectly intact.

Our SlideLock is made of aerospace grade titanium. This is an incredibly strong and tough titanium often used in aerospace and racecars.

A powerful neodymium magnet makes sure that the SlideLock stays in place even when subjected to drops and slams.

If the SlideLock breaks – which has never happened to this date – you can easily swap it with another Slidelock with a couple of standard screwdrivers. In other words, the barbell will not be rendered useless in the unlikely event that the SlideLock breaks.

4,5 mm is the maximum possible gap that can occur between the lock and weight plate, the thickness of the weight plates is the variable factor.

It will not affect the user experience at all, this has even been verified by top professional weightlifters, crossfitters, powerlifters and strongmen. Normal collars will usually slide or move during the exercise, while the SlideLock won’t budge, keeping the user safe all through the workout.

The whip of the bar is almost identical to all other bars with the same shaft diameter. Meaning if you are used to a 28mm grip which is the most used shaft diameter for barbells, The Allrounder will give you almost an identical whip.

The knurl has been carefully balanced to fit both high rep workouts and heavy lifting. The center knurl has been made a bit milder so that front squats or cleans still are doable without discomfort. To give an enhanced micro-level grip, the hard chrome has been made with a satin finish, giving a completely unique almost cool blue gray look to the shaft. The combination of the medium knurl and micro-roughness from the finish has been described by many professional athletes as giving a “good grip that gives the feeling of being already chalked up”.

The Bronze bushing, especially with our diamond pocket design, aligns perfectly with Gungnir of Norway’s high-quality standard and durability values. Compared to a needle bearing, it is more resilient, has a longer lifespan, barely needs maintenance, and provides a good and reliable spin that lasts for years.

Place bars in a horizontal position when cleaning. With a lint free cloth, apply a mild soap detergent and wipe the bar while carefully avoiding the area where the sleeve and bar shaft meet. Moisture in this area can impact the bars performance and lifetime. Brush the shaft of the bar, including the knurl with a nylon brush to remove chalk or dirt. We recommend using bleach-free, alcohol-free, and o-phenylphenol (OPP) ammonia free wipes for disinfecting.
