Source: web.archive.org (verified 2026-07-13) · corroborated by garagegymlab.com. The archived official REP Fitness product page (SKU BB-5000, URL rep-gladiator-olympic-bar, "REP Gladiator WL Bearing Bar / Gladiator Barbell") confirms this exact model: 28 mm shaft on the 20 kg men's option (25 mm for the 15 kg), 230k tensile / 210k yield, a 1500 lb static rating, hard chrome coating, medium-depth knurl, center knurl on the 20 kg WL, and 3 needle bearings + 2 bushings per sleeve; it lists the 20 kg option at $359.99. Garage Gym Lab's Gladiator WL Bearing Bar review corroborates the identity and specs verbatim (Bar Weight 20kg, Tensile 230,000, Shaft Diameter 28mm, Shaft/Sleeve Finish Hard Chrome, Center Knurl Yes, Knurl Marks Olympic Weightlifting, Rotation System Bearing & Bushing). The bar is discontinued on the live site (repfitness.com/rep-gladiator-olympic-bar now redirects to the barbells collection), so the manufacturer source is the Wayback-archived official page; total length and loadable sleeve length are not stated on either page and are left null.
