RitFit 2 in EZ Curl Bar with Weights - Ergonomic Curl Bar

In this review the RitFit 2 in EZ Curl Bar with Weights is evaluated as a versatile curl bar for lifters who want a compact Olympic-style option with solid construction. The biggest reason to consider it is its thoughtful ergonomic design combined with durable finishes and rotating sleeves, which make curling and pressing movements feel smooth and secure. For home gym users who need a rackable, 1.2m (47') bar that still handles serious plates, this set balances convenience and function without taking up the space of a full barbell.

Key Features

• Premium weight and size: The bar ships with a substantial 9kg (~20 lb) weight and a rackable 1.2m (47') length that fits small racks and home setups while still accepting Olympic plates.
• Ergonomic curved shaft: The 28mm bent shaft reduces strain on wrists and forearms so tighter curl positions feel more comfortable during higher-volume sets.
• Multi-muscle targeting: The bar is suited for focused biceps and triceps work and can also be used for core, shoulder, back and leg moves when paired with a bench or varied plate loading.
• Smooth rotation: Rotating sleeves provide fluid movement and help protect the wrists and elbows during curls and controlled presses.
• Secure loading: Olympic-style sleeves ensure plates stay in place for fast changes and heavier training sessions.
• Durable finish: Black manganese phosphate coating delivers corrosion resistance for long-term use in a home gym environment.

Who It's For

The RitFit EZ curl bar is ideal for home gym owners, apartment lifters, and anyone who wants an Olympic-style curl bar that is shorter and rackable. Strength trainers focused on biceps and triceps will appreciate the ergonomic bend and 28mm shaft, which improves grip comfort for multiple set types.

This is not aimed at competitors who require a full-length Olympic bar for maximal deadlifts or squat-specific programming; those users should look for a standard 7ft bar. Also, lifters needing a thicker knurl or a specialty competition curl bar may prefer a dedicated competition model.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Ergonomic 28mm curved shaft that reduces wrist strain during curling movements.
• Rotating sleeves and secure Olympic loading make plate changes easy and movement smooth.

Cons

• Shorter 1.2m (47') length limits some full-range lifts compared with a 7ft bar for heavy compound lifts.
• Three finish options may be a simple cosmetic choice rather than a performance difference.
