Colorado combines a 28.5 mm shaft, moderate knurling and dual grip marks for mixed lifting. This 20 kg version has hard chrome on both shaft and sleeves, with composite bushings.

Who it suits

One bar for presses, squats and Olympic-lift variations. The smooth centre is useful when the bar regularly passes through a front-rack position.

The drawback

There is no centre knurl. For a thicker shaft and pronounced squat/deadlift grip, REP’s Double Black Diamond is the more specific power-bar option.
