Rank #9 in Best Trap Bar 2026: 10 Ranked, Weight vs Claimed Capacity
Synergee Black Hex Bar, 500 lb, Standard Handles
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This is the Synergee Olympic hex bar, ninth in our trap bar guide and listed at £87.79. Its own listing carries an unresolved weight claim: the product title offers "20kg and 25kg", while the bullet points say the bar weighs 7 kg and the specification table gives an Item Weight of 7.03 kg. The same bullets and the specification agree on a 500 lb maximum capacity — a lot of load for a bar the spec sheet puts at roughly seven kilos.
It comes with a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 327 customer ratings, 10 inches of loadable sleeve on either side, a black powder-coat finish and a Grip Type the listing states as "no knurling". The Item Dimensions field gives the same figure, 124.5 centimetres, for both length and width, exactly as listed. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this bar; we have not lifted it, loaded it or tested it ourselves.
