Our take on the AXLE Lightweight Olympic Barbell with Weighted Plates

The AXLE is a collapsible 55-inch Olympic barbell made of anodized aluminum with 2-inch sleeves, so it takes standard Olympic plates. It weighs just 11.2 lb and breaks down for storage, which suits small home gyms and light lifting. Against a full steel Olympic bar it trades load capacity and rigidity for portability and a much smaller footprint.

Best forSmall apartments and tight home gymsLight lifting and technique practiceBuyers who need a bar that stores flatTravel or temporary training setups
Pros
  • Collapses for storage in small spaces
  • Light 11.2 lb bar is easy to move and set up
  • 2-inch sleeves fit standard Olympic plates
  • Anodized aluminum resists rust better than bare steel
  • Non-slip grip
Cons
  • Aluminum bar cannot handle heavy loads like a steel Olympic bar
  • 11.2 lb is too light for serious strength work without plates
  • ABS plastic collapsible parts may feel less solid than a one-piece bar
  • 55-inch length is shorter than a standard 7-foot bar

Questions and answers

How much weight can the AXLE barbell hold?
AXLE does not publish a load rating for this bar. Aluminum construction and collapsible ABS joints point to light-to-moderate use, not heavy squats or deadlifts.
Does it fit standard Olympic plates?
Yes. The sleeves are 2 inches in diameter, the Olympic standard, so most bumper and iron Olympic plates slide on.
How does it compare to a full-size Olympic bar?
A standard Olympic bar is about 7 feet long and weighs 44 lb of steel. The AXLE is 55 inches and 11.2 lb, so it stores easily but is far lighter and less rigid.
Is it good for beginners?
It works for learning bar path and light pressing or rowing in a small space. Once lifts get heavy, most people move to a steel bar.
What comes in the box?
The listing describes the bar itself; plates are sold separately. Check the listing for exactly what is included.
How does it hold up over time?
The anodized aluminum shaft resists rust, but the collapsible ABS plastic joints are the wear point. Inspect them for play if you assemble and break the bar down often.
