Barbells

Since 1957, Eleiko has been the leading designer and manufacturer of barbells for weightlifting and powerlifting; more than 1,000 world records have been set on our IWF Competition Weightlifting Bars. We offer IWF- and IPF-certified men's and women's competition and training bars and a WPPO-certified Competition Bar for para powerlifting. Made in Halmstad, Sweden from our signature ultra-clean Swedish steel, Eleiko barbells are trusted worldwide for their strength, durability, and the distinctive “Eleiko Feeling.”

Our new generation of barbells builds on this legacy with enhanced sustainability, protective DN3 Chrome™ finishes, optimized knurling patterns, and future-ready design. Each bar is calibrated, certified, and tested under real lifting conditions to ensure lasting performance.

When competition calibration and certification aren’t required, our selection of barbells designed for varied training goals and lifting environments are ideal. The range includes barbells for Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, functional fitness, and strength training, along with technique and speciality bars for focused upper- and lower-body training. Finishes are tailored to purpose — from chromed Olympic weight bars and raw steel powerlifting bars to powder-coated options like the acclaimed Öppen Bar.

Eleiko barbells feature legacy-inspired waffle-pattern knurling, precision rotation systems, and meticulous Swedish craftsmanship, delivering solid, stable, and silent performance. Select from the bars in the catalogue above to explore each design, specifications, and unique features, or consult our barbell and knurling guides to find the barbell best suited to your needs.
