Mirafit 7kg 6ft Olympic Technique Bar

A 7kg, 183cm bar with a 28mm centre section, 230mm sleeves and brass bushings, which Mirafit describe as giving suitable rotation for training the lifts.

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.

Published specification

Every figure below is Mirafit’s own published specification for this bar, quoted rather than measured. Where a figure is not published it is not listed — there are no estimates in this table.

Who this bar is for

Teaching the Olympic lifts to someone who cannot yet handle 20kg, or drilling positions. A 28mm grip means the hand position matches a full-size men’s bar.

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 Mirafit’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.

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 An em dash (—) means they do not publish that figure — it is never a number we have guessed.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.
