To be clear from the beginning, I do actually like this bar. But the price tag is nothing short of insane for what you get. But if you're an IPF lifter, and like to lift with what you compete on, and you have the budget, treat yo self! It's a bare steel power bar at the end of the day... a pretty nice one, but did I mention the price?? I bought mine like brand new used for $700 and I convinced myself that was too good of a deal to pass up. Mine is the prior version with the red/orange sticker.

Maybe I am a hypebeast but this is my favorite bar in the cage and the one I use the most. It has the best balanced knurl in my opinion with grippiness and sharpness. There are other sharper bars (Texas, TSS, and even rogue OPB are all more aggressive) My local meet director (Shoutout John D) also uses this bar so it is nice for me to practice on it even though I am not a high level lifter. I have the older one with the red sticker, I have heard there are some knurling inconsistencies with the new one they just dropped.
I actually have 2 of these bars and one of them had an issue. Eleiko was great fulfilling the warranty on the bar and replacing it with a brand new one, so thank you for great CS!
Hard to justify the price tag but I did not get mine for full price, and probably would not have one if I had to get it full price.

For many people, this is the bar to end all bars. However I've found it to be overhyped. It's a good bar overall, medium knurling, Swedish steel, and a lot of prestige. Where it lacks is overall build quality as it's quite a loud bar (tolerance issues), the knurling could be better, and the price is insane. This is a bare steel bar and they want almost $1300 for it before shipping/tax? NO WAY. The SS OPB is better and 1/3 of the price.
