Rank #2 in Best Trap Bar 2026: 10 Ranked, Weight vs Claimed Capacity
Titan Fitness Olympic Hex Trap Bar, 500 lb, Dual Handles
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Titan Fitness Olympic Hex Trap Bar is the number two pick in this guide. It is the 20 kg bar the rest get measured against: the listing rates it for up to 500 lb and prices it at £544.31, which is more than eight times the £65.23 asked for the cheapest bar here. It is also the one bar in the guide whose own weight figure holds together — the bullet points say 44 lb, the Item Weight specification says 20 kg, and 44 lb is just under 20 kg.
Two numbers inside the same listing do not hold together, though. The bullet points describe two sets of 25 mm medium diamond knurled handles, while the Grip Size field in the specifications reads 28 millimetres. The bullet points also give a handle spread of 24.5 in, which is wider than the 22.75 in overall width stated in those same bullet points and in the dimensions field. The listing reports 4.7 out of 5 from 475 reviews. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as supplied, not from any testing we carried out.
