Eleiko Technique Bar, 10kg

A 10kg, 193cm bar with a 25mm shaft, bearing sleeves and anodised aluminium sleeves to keep the weight down. Same 236,000 PSI Swedish steel as the competition bars, dual knurl marks.

A plain unbranded Olympic weightlifting barbell with rotating sleeves, on a gym floor.
Illustrative image — not the actual product

That is not a photograph of this bar. Product photography on this page is illustrative. We are licensing real images of each bar and will swap them in per product as they arrive — until then the pictures show a generic unbranded bar of that type, not the product named beside them.

Who this bar is for

Learning the snatch and the clean and jerk, or warming up, with sleeves that spin properly so the movement feels like the real lift. Light sleeves mean a low load limit.

What this page is not

It is not a review. Nobody at OlympicBars.co.uk has trained on this bar, so there is no score, no star rating and no verdict here, and there never will be unless that changes and we say so plainly. What this page gives you is Eleiko’s own numbers, laid out the same way as every other bar on the site so you can compare them, and a link to the shop so you can check the current price yourself.

Other technique and short bars

Light bars for learning the lifts, and 6ft bars for garages where a 7ft bar will not fit between the walls. Lower load ratings — check them before loading up.

Every figure is the manufacturer’s or retailer’s own published specification. An em dash (—) means they do not publish that figure — it is never a number we have guessed. “Tensile” is tensile strength in thousands of PSI. “Rotation” is bushings, needle bearings, or both in the same sleeve. No prices are listed here, deliberately: check the current price with the shop.
