Elite Performance Meets Premium Style

The Giant Lifting Hybrid Bar (20KG) is our top-of-the-line multi-purpose Olympic barbell, engineered for strength, speed, and precision. Featuring a durable ceramic-polymer shaft in your choice of black, blue, green, or red, and paired with hardened black proprietary sleeves, this bar delivers both style and performance.

With a 1,500LB weight capacity and 28.5mm shaft diameter, the Hybrid Bar is built for lifters who want pro-level quality for Olympic lifting, powerlifting, and functional strength training—whether that’s in a home gym, training studio, or commercial facility.


Built for Smooth, Controlled Spin

The Hybrid Barbell is equipped with needle bearings and bronze bushings in each sleeve—giving you a smooth, consistent spin ideal for Olympic lifts like snatches, cleans, and jerks. This hybrid system combines speed with durability, making it perfect for both explosive and controlled movements.

The 28.5mm shaft strikes the ideal balance between whip and stiffness, allowing for natural flex during heavy lifts without sacrificing stability.


Precision Grip & Ceramic-Polymer Protection

The volcano-style knurling features a medium-aggressive grip—just right for keeping your hands locked in without tearing them up. Every detail is engineered for confidence and comfort under load.

The ceramic-polymer coating not only adds a premium look but also provides exceptional rust and corrosion resistance, making this bar perfect for any environment—from humid garages to high-traffic commercial gyms. The black proprietary sleeves (or chrome sleeves on the green version) resist wear while maintaining a smooth loading surface.

Hybrid Bar 2.0

This is a solid bar! The grip is great, not too aggressive but enough. The collars have a great spin.

Great bar

This bar is perfect for general lifting. The knurling is spot on- not wimpy but not super aggressive and sharp either. Cerakote finish looks good and I know from other applications it will hold up well.

Trap bar

This was a great addition to my shop gym - I use it for 3 new exercises that I added to my goals for the week.
It is very easy to add and take off weight and is heavy duty for any application.
