※If this is your first time purchasing a barbell, please refer tothis article.

This product is an innovative barbell developed by combining REP Fitness's many years of training experience with our product design expertise. It has cleared rigorous standards, incorporating user feedback and undergoing thousands of lifting tests by various types of athletes.

The Colorado Short Bar is a more compact version of our flagship barbell, theColorado Bar, making it ideal for use in relatively small spaces like home or personal gyms. It features a 15kg weight and a shortened 183cm length, while inheriting all other features of the original Colorado Bar.

The shaft length is 131cm, matching a standard 20kg Olympic bar, so it can be used with most power racks. The shaft finish is black Cerakote, which provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, while the sleeves are finished in hard chrome.

The shaft diameter is 28.5mm, the same as the original Colorado Bar, providing the same feel as a standard Olympic barbell. It also uses composite bushings to achieve smooth, stable rotation and reduce noise during drops.

The Colorado Bar is an extremely versatile barbell suitable for all environments, including CrossFit, HIIT-style workouts, powerlifting, and weightlifting. The volcano-style knurling provides an excellent grip without tearing up your hands during high-rep workouts.

The knurling includes both IPF and IWF markings, accommodating various exercises. Furthermore, because there is no center knurl, it can be used comfortably for movements involving the front of the body, such as front squats and cleans.

While the sleeve length is approximately 23cm, shorter than a standard Olympic bar, you can still handle heavy loads by using thin plates. When secured with NGA'sSECURE GRIP barbell collars(48mm wide), the number of plates you can load is as follows:

NGA Urethane Olympic Plates: 4 per side → 175kg total weight
REP Fitness Urethane Equalizer Plates: 3 per side → 135kg total weight
REP Fitness Black Bumper Plates: 2 per side → 95kg total weight

With a weight capacity of 680kg (1500 lbs), you can perform even heavier exercises by using powerlifting plates or narrower barbell collars.
