Compact Design, Maximum Performance
The Bantam Bar is the pinnacle of durability, functionality, and style in a sleek, compact form. Engineered to meet the demands of those who prefer a shorter bar without compromising performance, it delivers the same elite quality as the PO Bar—just in a more streamlined design.
Key Features
• Precision Engineering: Available in 28 mm or 30 mm diameters, spanning 70 cm wide, with an extraordinary load capacity of 700 kg (1500 lbs).
• Premium Craftsmanship: Forged from extra-hardened stainless steel with a polished mirror finish for unmatched durability and a striking aesthetic.
• Innovative Hook System: Equipped with carbon-reinforced hooks coated in PTFE (Teflon)—one of the smoothest materials on Earth. Even a gecko, famous for its ability to cling to glass, would slide right off. This ensures effortless band movement, enhanced longevity, and seamless rotation with every rep.
• Optimized Grip: Volcano knurling delivers the perfect balance of firmness and comfort, providing a secure hold without unnecessary abrasions.
• Perfectly Balanced: Weighing 3.4 kg (28 mm) or 4.1 kg (30 mm), including hooks, the Bantam Bar maintains a solid, stable feel, mirroring the confidence of a full-size barbell.
Why Hooks Over Slings?
Slings pull inward, limiting hand placement and causing instability. The Bantam Bar’s hook system keeps bands securely in place, while the Teflon-coated hooks spin with a dazzling smoothness over the stainless steel bar, ensuring better balance, optimal hand placement, and effortless movement for every lift.
Built to Last
Every Bantam Bar is backed by a 5-year warranty, a testament to its superior craftsmanship and enduring reliability.

The Heavy Duty Bar quality is great. My only criticism and reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the physical weight of the bar. It was much heavier than one of their competitors bars that holds about the same capacity. Stainless steel versus an Aluminum blend makes a huge difference. I purchased the Bantam bar due to its relative compactness compared to the PO bar. It may be too heavy to travel with on a plane trip. Likely I only know the difference since I have the other product too.
The personnel at Heavy Duty Bar are wonderful and shipping was extremely quick. I highly recommend this company. They do things right without being Cultish like one of their competitors.
The bar is very well made and it feels very good holding it. The hook design also keeps the bands stable on the hooks unlike the standard metal hooks. I highly recommend this bar.
Very good quality. Very good to train with.
Ordered te pro bands too. Hope these are off the same quality.
By far the best band bar on the market hands down! It feels so much better than another company with a gorilla as the company logo. The option to have thicker bars is great and so is the option to have two different hook sizes. I will for sure be getting more products from them in the future!
