ATX XTP Power Bar - Bare Steel

Powerlifting bar made of bare XTP^® steel without coating

The latest generation barbells – Made in Germany

The ATX XTP Power Bar - Bare Steel is produced in our factory in Germany using our patented XTP^® steel. The barbell has a diameter of 29 mm and a strength rating of 220,000 psi, providing an optimal balance between strength and stiffness. The bare steel without coating offers a natural feel where the knurling comes through perfectly. You can choose between standard sleeves or competition sleeves with narrow collars, both versions are hard chrome plated and fitted with high-quality graphite-bronze self-lubricating bushings. This barbell comes standard with a coarse 1.5 mm volcano knurling that offers excellent grip without feeling too harsh. On request, other knurling options can be applied; request the ATX Knurling Sample Box to try all knurling options in advance and find your ideal grip. Our in-house, state-of-the-art CNC machines manufacture the knurling you choose.

XTP^® Technology

The patented XTP^® (Xtreme Performance) Technology is a new type of thermo-mechanical process where the steel’s structure is ultra-finely compressed with heat and force. Although XTP^® treated steel looks the same externally as conventional steel, the real quality lies inside. The ultra-fine grain microstructure of the steel enables previously unreachable levels of material resistance and strength, guaranteeing extremely high resistance to crack growth. Each barbell is individually inspected and undergoes ultrasonic testing and eddy current inspection to ensure quality. The result is a barbell that consistently ranks best in strength tests.

Note: Like all untreated steel, this bare steel barbell requires some maintenance. However, unlike regular untreated steel, bare XTP^® steel has higher corrosion resistance, so less maintenance is needed. Regularly treat the barbell with our ATX Barbell Oil for a beautiful patina look.
