11/3/2022 0 Comments Eleiko bar second handBoth the 10.5 and the 12kg have needle bearings and the spin on both is "Eleiko through and through" and excellent (no slop etc) but this 12kg does have a slightly lighter feel to the bearings and their spin, much like a used Training bar.įor me a worthwhile upgrade (although admitedly a luxurious one). The sleeves are nicely ribbed, similar to a Training Bar - The 10.5kg model did have ribbed sleeves too, but like the knurl, they were duller. The 10.5kg model was not made in Sweden, this 12kg model is - That accounts for the knurl difference as this 12kg model feels very Eleiko in the knurl whilst the 10.5kg was a little bit dull for my taste - The 10.5kg was good, don't get me wrong, but there is a noticeable difference when comparing the two. It´s 1320mm overall compared to 1200 of the 10.5kg model - the sleeves are 238mm on the 12kg and 189mm on the 10.5kg - Inside the sleeves of the 12kg is 826mm, and 777 on the 10.5kg. It´s slightly longer than the 10.5kg model, on the sleeves and between the sleeves, so it will take more plates than the 10.5kg model (not that this matters to me, but it might to some if they use thick plates and really want to load it up). Eleiko is the leading manufacturer of high-quality barbells, offering a wide range including bars certified for competition to specialty bars for gym and fitness. Cant wait to hit my arms properly with it later The knurl is slightly more aggressive and the bends on the bar are slightly more deep (certainly so on the inner knurls) which is better for feel imo - I just did a couple of curls to try it out and it feels very nice to use. This 12kg model just outshines the 10.5kg model, only just, but it is noticeably better - I´m glad I upgraded. I had the 10.5kg curl bar before which I sold recently when I decided to upgrade to this later 12kg model. Just out of the box, i´m immediately impressed!
