Source: vulcanstrength.com (verified 2026-07-13) · corroborated by garage-gyms.com. The official Vulcan Strength product page (Product Code ABPWR-1, "Vulcan Absolute Powerlifting Bar V2.0") confirms the exact model and lists Regular Price $339.00, plus a 20 kg weight, 221K PSI tensile strength, black oxide shaft, matte chrome grooved sleeves, bushing rotation, single IPF marking, and a 4" center knurl. The garage-gyms.com V2.0 review (dated March 9, 2018) corroborates the identical model ("Vulcan Absolute Oxide Powerlifting Bar V2.0") and adds verbatim figures — 29 mm shaft diameter, 2200 mm length, "IPF power marks," "dense/matte chrome" sleeves — and confirms the "$339 (includes shipping)" price. Black oxide is not a value in the shaftFinish enum and the bushing material (bronze vs composite) is never stated on either page, so those keys are left null rather than guessed.
