Featuring medium depth diamond knurling for a non-slip grip and bronze bushings for smooth, pressure-free sleeve rotation, it’s designed to reduce wrist and forearm discomfort during curls, triceps extensions, and skull crushers. Compatible with 2-inch Olympic plates, this bar combines durability, ergonomic design, and CAP’s 30+ years of fitness expertise to deliver a premium curling experience. ## Description The CAP Olympic Super Curl Bar with Bronze Bushings is designed to reduce the pressure on your wrists and forearms when performing curls, triceps extensions, skull crushers, preacher curls and more. The super angled shaft on this Olympic Super Curl Bar will aid in developing upper arm mass, strength and definition while simultaneously reducing discomfort in your forearms. This bar is constructed from solid steel with 51,000 PSI tensile strength with a chromed finish. The diamond knurled 25.4mm handgrips offer a secure, non-slip grip, and the rotating sleeves with bushings reduce pressure on the hands and wrists. The CAP Super Curl Bar is designed to accommodate weight plates with a 2-inch center hole. The loadable sleeve length is 7.5 inches. 30 day manufacturer’s warranty from date of purchase from authorized dealer. Weights and collars sold separately. Review: Great quality Review: It's hard to go wrong with a curl bar for ~$40. I got the Elite with chrome finish. The knurling was more aggressive than what I expected for a budget bar, a pleasant surprise. It's actually sharper than the volcano knurling on the REP multi-grip cable attachment that I have. A assume they knurled the bar this way so the knurling would be still be reasonably effective when it's painted over for the black version. As other reviewers have commented, the sleeves squeaked and made a lot of noise out of the box. I disassembled the sleeves, cleaned out any metal dust in bushings and applied some synthetic grease. No noise any more. One downside of the knurling is that it actually extends 2 inches past the brass bushings in the sleeves. It will wear down the bushings over time as the bushings rotate over the knurling. However, this would likely take thousands of reps. The inner curves of the bar feel good for close grip skull crushers and other triceps exercises. The wider grips are the right width for curls. My bar didn't come with the pictured, cheap, set screw style collars. I would have thrown them away anyway, so no loss. You'll need a set of internal snap ring pliers and a 10 mm hex key to disassemble the sleeves, although I was able to get away with a 3/8" hex key. I was going to ding a star off the review for the knurling that extends under the bushings and the need to disassemble to clean up and lube the bushings, but it's a sub $50 curl bar. With prices rising for even basic workout equipment, this bar is a solid value. ## Features - CONSTRUCTION: Made of solid steel with a chromed finish; Collars sold separately; Medium depth diamond knurling for non-slip grip; Fits Olympic plates with a 2” center hole (sold separately) - VERSATILE: Build upper body strength by targeting the biceps, triceps, back and chest muscles with this 2” super curl bar; Great for triceps extensions, bicep curls, skull crushers, and more - FEATURES: Super angled shaft is designed to reduce discomfort when lifting weights; Revolving sleeves help to reduce pressure on wrists and forearms and prevent the bar from warping; Collars are sold separately - SPECS: Bar length: 1210mm/48in; Weight: 16.75 lb; 51,000 PSI tensile strength steel; Shaft length of 33.25 in; Knurling: 6 in on each side; Loadable sleeve length: 7.5 in; Shaft diameter: 25.4 mm - TRUST: Trust experience; CAP is a pioneer in the fitness industry with over 30 years’ experience and locations worldwide; Chances are if you have ever worked out before you have used a CAP product ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B2TLFKS9 | | Best Sellers Rank | #118,602 in Sporting Goods ( See Top 100 in Sporting Goods ) #249 in Strength Training Bars | | Brand Name | CAP Barbell | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (123) | | Finish Type | Chrome | | Grip Size | 25.4 millimeters | | Grip Type | Knurled | | Included Components | Olympic Super Curl Bar | | Item Type Name | Olympic Super Curl Bar Series | | Item Weight | 18.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | CAP Barbell, Inc. | | Material | Aluminum | | Mounting Hole Diameter | 2 Inches | | Sleeve Length | 48 Inches | | UPC | 702556304389 702556312322 | | Weight Capacity Maximum | 226.79 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CAP Barbell - **Grip type:** Knurled - **Item weight:** 18.1 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum - **Speaker cutout diameter or length:** 2 Inches ## Images ![Solid Olympic Super Curl Bar, Bronze Bushings, Chrome, 48 inches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZP2ZAZk8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***S on 17 March 2026* Great quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***I on 9 October 2025* It's hard to go wrong with a curl bar for ~$40.
