RitFit 700LBS EZ Curl Bar 1.2m with 9kg Weight - Black Finish

In this review the RitFit 700LBS EZ Curl Bar is examined for lifters who want a compact, sturdy curl bar that still handles heavy plates. The bottom line: this 1.2m curl bar with a built-in 9kg weight and a 700 lb capacity is best for home gyms and apartment lifters who need an ergonomic curved shaft and secure Olympic-style loading in a space-conscious package. The reviewer found it delivers a confident feel under load and the knurling and rotating sleeves make common curl and tricep movements comfortable and functional.

Key Features

• Premium weight and length: The integrated 9kg (~20 lb) head and 1.2m (47 in) rackable length make it suitable for compact setups without sacrificing plate capacity.
• Ergonomic curved shaft: The 28mm bent shaft reduces wrist and forearm strain, improving form during biceps and triceps work.
• Secure Olympic loading: Rotating sleeves provide smooth movement and keep Olympic plates held safely while you lift.
• Slip-resistant grip: Aggressive knurling offers a secure handhold for heavy sets and repeated reps.
• Durable finish: The black manganese phosphate coating enhances corrosion resistance for long service life in a home gym environment.
• Color options: Available in silver, half black, and full black finishes to match different rack and equipment styles.

Who It's For

The RitFit EZ curl bar suits lifters who train biceps, triceps, and accessory upper-body movements at home or in a small gym and want an Olympic-style curl bar that accepts standard Olympic plates. Its 700 lb capacity and rotating sleeves also make it appealing to users who occasionally load heavy for strength work.

This bar is less appropriate for someone who needs a full-length powerlifting bar for squats or deadlifts, or for lifters who require specialized knurl profiles for competition. Those users should consider a full-size bar designed specifically for those lifts.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid build quality and knurling that customers describe as providing a reliable grip.
• Ergonomic bend reduces wrist stress, making curls and extensions more comfortable.
• Rotating sleeves enable smooth reps and secure plate retention during higher-speed movements.
• Durable black manganese phosphate finish resists corrosion and extends service life.

Cons

• The 1.2m length is rackable but not a full-length bar, so it is not a replacement for a standard Olympic bar for all lifts.
