Compact. Precise. Built for performance.

The Gorila Pongo Bearing Bar redefines what a short barbell can be. Developed in collaboration with elite athletes, it delivers the full performance of a competition-grade Olympic bar, in a format designed for studios, group classes, and compact gyms where space is at a premium.

This bar is not compatible with standard 48" wide racks, as the distance from sleeve to sleeve is 45 inches. However, it is fully rackable on the Gorila Bamboo Squat Stand and any Gorila H-Base squat rack.

Engineered Grip and Control:

• Precision Knurling: Custom short bar knurl marks provide consistent hand placement and grip feedback during complex movements.
• Elite Feel: Developed with athlete input, the Pongo Bar offers a controlled, balanced feel with tactile knurling that grips without tearing.

Strength You Can Trust:

• 190,000 PSI Tensile Strength Steel: Forged for resilience and tuned for stability through repeated drops and high-volume use.
• Hybrid Rotation System: Needle bearings combined with bronze bushings deliver smooth sleeve spin and long-lasting performance under load.
• Short Bar Advantage: With a 43" collar-to-collar width, it’s perfect for multi-station setups, garage gyms, or training areas with limited floor space.

Performance-Driven and Guaranteed:

Backed by a lifetime warranty against bending*, the Pongo Bar is tested in real gyms, used daily in high-intensity environments, and built to last.

*Warranty exclusions apply.
