The SELEWARE Olympic Hex Bar is a trap bar priced at £171.71, and it sits sixth in this guide. It is not the cheapest bar in the list and it is not the heaviest, but its listing is a tidy illustration of the guide's central point: what a bar weighs and what it claims to hold are rarely settled on the same page.

Two of its own numbers disagree. The specification field gives an Item Weight of 8.44 kg, while a bullet in the same listing states a "total assembled weight" of 19 lb — roughly 8.6 kg. On capacity, that bullet says 500 lb per bar while the specification field lists a Weight Capacity Maximum of 227.8 kg, which converts to about 502 lb. The review count does not line up either: the listing states 71 ratings, but the star breakdown printed beside it adds up to 100 (75 five-star, 16 four-star, 7 three-star and 2 one-star). Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the SELEWARE bar and not from any testing of our own.
