The Sprung steel construction of the shaft means that it can handle moderate loads and will revert to its original shape once the tension has been released. This is ideal for a Weightlifting bar as the last thing you want after a big PB is to be left with a bent bar. It also gives the bar a good deal of flex and quite a lively feel.

Being a weightlifting bar it has free spinning sleeves and light knurling.

Needle bearings win over ball bearings because they are capable of handling larger loads without squashing or deforming. Instead of balls there are cylindrical rollers around the bearing. Compared to the brass bushings these bearings will give you a more free spinning sleeve on your bar.
