Strength Shop Original 1525 15kg Olympic Women's Bar — Black E-Coat
A 25mm straight-steel shaft with a 130cm shaft length and a black e-coat finish, rated to 180kg. Strength Shop describes the sleeve spin as moderate.
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 Strength Shop’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
The cheapest 15kg bar listed here, and the 180kg rating says what it is for — learning the lifts and general training, not heavy loading.
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 Strength Shop’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 women's 15kg bars
15kg, a 25mm shaft and 201cm overall — the IWF specification for women’s weightlifting. The thinner shaft also suits anyone whose hands struggle to close round 28mm.
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 An em dash (—) means they do not publish that figure — it is never a number we have guessed.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.
