Bummer they no longer make this bar. It’s every bit as smooth spinning as my Pyrros and has a great finish, despite it being chrome. I bought it sub $250 prior to covid, and that included shipping. I think it was like $179 with $50 shipping because Rep used to say “free shipping isn’t free” on a banner on their website. My how times change. Great bar and would recommend it highly if you catch one out in the wild.

Got this on super sale when Rep was clearing out the old bars for their new line. $160 for a needle bearing bar is a no brainer. Great rotation, gets the job done. As someone who merely dabbles in Olympic lifting, checks all the boxes for me. Biggest down fall is the knurling is more of a decoration than anything.
