GIANT 20kg GB2 Bar

Smooth, Versatile, and Built for Fast, Dynamic Lifts

The Giant Lifting GB2 Barbell is our go-to multi-purpose Olympic bar, built for lifters who love speed, precision, and versatility in their training. With a 28.5mm shaft, needle bearings and bushings, and a 1,500lb weight capacity, this bar is perfect for Olympic weightlifting, functional training, CrossFit, and high-intensity strength sessions.

Designed to move with you, the GB2 offers a responsive whip and smooth rotation—ideal for snatches, cleans, jerks, and other dynamic lifts that demand control and speed.

Engineered for Performance

Each sleeve is equipped with a combination of needle bearings and bushings, delivering smooth, consistent spin without feeling loose or unstable. The 200,000 PSI tensile strength ensures long-term durability and a confident lift every time you pull.

The volcano knurling pattern provides a medium-aggressive grip that’s firm enough for heavy pulls yet comfortable for volume work. There’s no center knurl, making this bar comfortable for cleans and front rack positions.

Clean Design, Premium Feel

The GB2 features a black oxide shaft paired with silver hard chrome sleeves—a combo that looks sharp, feels solid, and resists rust over time. The finish gives the bar a professional aesthetic while maintaining the raw, grippy texture lifters love.

With its moderate whip and balanced feel, the GB2 is perfect for fast, fluid barbell work without the stiffness of a pure power bar.
