Description
The Rock Cross-Training Bar 220 cm (AFW ref. 12502) sits at the top of the AFW cross-training range: a 20 kg hard-chrome Olympic bar with 8 needle bearings, a 195,000 psi shaft and a 1,500 lb load rating. It is designed for boxes and strength facilities where bars are dropped, cycled and loaded heavily every single day.
Built for heavy, high-frequency use
Tensile strength is the figure that separates a club bar from a flagship bar. At 195,000 psi, the Rock 220 cm shaft resists permanent bending under repeated drops with bumper plates, while the 8-bearing sleeve assembly keeps rotation fast and even under maximal loads. The hard chrome coating protects both shaft and sleeves from corrosion and chalk abrasion.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 1,500 lb rating mean in practice?
It is the manufacturer’s maximum static load rating. Combined with the 195,000 psi shaft, it means the bar tolerates heavy squats, deadlifts and repeated drops without taking a permanent set.
Does hard chrome affect grip?
Hard chrome slightly softens the feel of the knurl compared with bare steel, but the 1.2 mm standard knurl keeps grip secure while remaining comfortable for high-repetition workouts.
Can I order several bars at project pricing?
Yes. Most clients equip multiple platforms at once; volume pricing is included in your quotation.
