Mirafit Olympic 2 inch Trap Bar, 300 kg, Spring Collars

The Mirafit Olympic 2" Trap Bar sits at number four in this guide at £129.99, with 105 ratings averaging 4.6 out of 5. On the numbers available it is the heaviest bar here, and it is also the one that claims the most: 300 kg, or roughly 661 lb, against 400 lb for the £65.23 bar and 500 lb for the 20 kg Titan. That runs against the pattern the rest of the guide follows, where the lighter, cheaper bars tend to promise the most.

The catch is that the listing does not agree with itself on the bar's own weight. The bullet points describe a "heavy duty solid steel 25kg bar", while the specification table gives an Item Weight of 27 kg — a 2 kg gap between two parts of the same advert, and the same kind of split we found between the two Synergee listings. Everything on this page, including the 300 kg capacity figure, is taken from Mirafit's Amazon listing; we have not tested the bar ourselves.
