Description

FITRON TRAP BAR OPEN-X

Versatile open-ended specialty hex barbell – made in Europe

Interchangable handles

The design of the trap bar OPEN-X allows for the ability to switch out the handles for different grip options.

This can be based on a change in diameter (32mm, 35mm or 38mm) or surface finish (zinc, black oxide, stainless steel).

Knurling for a better grip

A textured pattern on the surface of the handles was designed to provide ultimate comfort and reduce slippage during use.

Good knurling in combination with a well-chosen diameter can help you break personal records.

Removable sleeves

You can choose (or change) the length of the loading sleeves according to your needs.

We have also added an option to remove them quickly and easily – it not only affects the storage space and handling, but also the weight of the trap bar itself.

Parts compatible with other barbells

Easily interchangeable sleeves offer the option to use them for other FITRON products as well (e.g. swiss bar).

The advantage is better utilization of space and you don’t have to pay twice for the same components.

Heavy-Duty Frame

The massive steel frame is built using heavy-duty welds, which provide excellent load-carrying capacity

The trap bar was able to easily lift more than 600 kg of weight during testing.

BUILT-IN BARBELL JACK

To load the OPEN-X trap bar, you simply need to flip it over and the feet will lift the plates for you, which greatly simplifies the loading process. The feet are rounded, which eliminates damage to the floor.

Well-balanced

The feet are not only used as a barbell jack, but also serve as counterweights.

Despite the open design, the difference between the sides is only a few grams.

Frame color options

There are several color options to choose from, and you can also select the finish of the handles and sleeves. Whether you want a specific combination or need a customized option, we have you covered.

Description

The OPEN-X trap bar is a one-of-a-kind product that we have been working on and testing for a number of months. Our aim from the outset was clear: to design and manufacture the best trap bar in the world that nobody will regret purchasing.

The OPEN-X trap bar allows you to customize it to your preferences:

  • Is space a concern for you? A shorter sleeve will allow you to exercise comfortably in a smaller area.
  • If you have thicker plates and are unable to load more weight, simply swap out the sleeve for a longer one to remove any limitations.
  • Training with a partner and want to accommodate different grip preferences? The handles can be changed to suit your needs.

There are a range of options to choose from, and your needs may change over time. The OPEN-X trap bar is designed to adapt and grow with you, making it a versatile choice for any gym.

Custom color options

The main frame of the trap bar is finished with a powder coating, which not only enhances its appearance but also adds a layer of protection.

We offer a wide range of colors for the trap bar OPEN-X. If you are interested in a particular color option that is not currently available, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Handles – Grip Options

Since the handles are the primary point of contact when using a trap bar, their surface is one of the most important parameters. Since there is no perfect surface finish that meets all 3 main criteria (grip quality, corrosion protection, and good price), we have left the choice to you. Imagine it like choosing the right tires for your car – you have to consider the conditions in which you will be using them, how much you are willing to spend, and what your priorities are.

Black Oxide

It is known that raw steel offers the best grip. The only surface treatment that does not impact this grip is blackening.

It also provides a pleasant matte appearance, so the handles stand out nicely in combination with many colors. The disadvantage of this surface finish is its lower corrosion resistance, and after a while, some care may be required.

Zinc

Zinc plating is a proven classic among surface finishes. Zinc plating provides a standard silver-bluish surface created by applying a microlayer of zinc.

It provides excellent corrosion protection, but slightly dulls the texture of the knurling, resulting in a slightly slicker surface compared to raw steel.

Stainless steel

The handles of the Trap bar OPEN-X can also be made of stainless steel. This guarantees protection against corrosion even in the most aggressive environments.

Since no extra layer is added to the steel, the grip is not affected either. This is the best, but also the most expensive option.

Awesome heavy duty bar made in EU with many features at a reasonable price. Not much else to say. I look forward to using this bar when trap bar work comes around in my training blocks.

The trapbar is amazing. It arrived exactly as configured and packaged very well. The finish is perfect, the knurling on the stainless steel handles is very nice. The jack functionality works great even on soft tiles and the bar is perfectly balanced! Very happy with my purchase (already hit a PR on TB deadlift). There was a small issue with the shipping but it was handled quickly and very professionally – I will definitely buy more equipment.

Delivery time was very fast, packaging was very good. Built quality is also good. I got this trapbar as opposed to traditional trapbars mainly for the easy plate loading, and it works as promised. I don’t think there currently is a better open trapbar out there (apart from eleiko maybe but that one is expensive as f*ck). Props to this Slovakian company for manufacturing such high quality equipment.

Trapbar is indeed balanced very well. Loading parts are nicely machined, standard Olympic plates and locks fit perfect. Handles have very nice grip, no need for gloves. It was packed on pallett, arrived without damage.
