Built for women's weightlifting

Women's weightlifting standards set the bar at 15 kg, with a 25 mm shaft and a length of 201 cm. The Atalante matches all three values.

With 3 mm less than a men's bar, the hand closes better around the shaft: the hook grip is more secure and the grip holds in the snatch position.

Spin that protects your joints

The sleeves spin on needle bearings. When you drop under the bar, the inertia of the plates does not travel back into your wrists or elbows.

240,000 PSI steel

The 240,000 PSI tensile strength gives the whip, the elastic rebound of the bar that helps you drive out of the clean and the jerk. The bar is rated up to 500 kg.

Moderate knurling, no centre knurl

The knurling grips without tearing your palms during snatch sets. The bar has both weightlifting and powerlifting marks.

It has no centre knurl, as the sport requires: nothing scrapes your neck or collarbone in the rack position.
