- Delta™ Basic Bar Overview
Delta™ Basic Bar Overview
This bar’s for powerlifting – with a side of everything and anything. The Delta™ basic bar is a high-quality but great-value bar with a ton of versatility. Brass bushing sleeves are slower rotating, ideal for powerlifting, but dual knurl markings (both powerlifting and weightlifting) and medium-depth knurling open up possibilities for other kinds of training, too. The Delta™ features center knurling to hold the bar in place on your back during squats, but the knurling throughout isn’t as aggressive as typical power bars, so it won’t tear up your hands during higher-rep workouts. This bar checks all the boxes for a mixed-use bar, with a special nod to the Big Three lifts.

Our new line of barbells is our first, in-house, engineered lineup. Every part of these bars was designed by our Colorado-based engineering team to meet our specifications and to perform better than any bar we’ve ever carried.
The Delta™ basic bar is a high-quality barbell ideal for entry-level lifters, as well as lifters looking for a basic barbell that’s incredibly versatile. With dual knurl markings, medium-depth knurl, and bushing sleeves, you can use the Delta™ bar for powerlifting, but it also doubles up as a mixed-use barbell. Read more here.
The Delta™ basic bar is available in a bright chrome finish on both the shaft and sleeves.
Both bushing and bearing sleeves produce sufficient sleeve rotation, whereas ball or needle bearings allow for a faster, smoother, quieter spin and have a more reliable turnover for maximum loads, which is a better fit for Olympic-style lifts. By comparison, a bushing sleeve is more efficient for powerlifting movements, which are slower and more strength focused.
The knurling on a barbell is the crosshatch pattern on the shaft that increases the grip of your hands on the bar. There are three types of knurl styles on our barbells: hill, volcano, and mountain. Hill-style knurling is the most passive and won’t dig into your hands for lifts. It is a good option for training bars, but if you’re looking to max out, we recommend a bar with another style. Mountain is the most aggressive knurl style. You’ll see this style with most of our powerlifting barbells to provide the best grip for your one-rep maxes. The most common knurl style you’ll see on a lot of our weightlifting and mixed-use bars is volcano. Volcano knurling has a good amount of grip without tearing up your hands. Read more about knurling here.
There are two major standards for where to put knurl markings on a barbell: designed by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) and the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The knurl markings allow athletes to set up properly for the lift and provide a visual for even hand placement on the barbell.
REP’s barbells are designed to work with any Olympic plates featuring 2” diameter center holes.
The Delta™ basic bar is rated for 700lbs.
This depends on the type of training you do and your goals. If you are not sure how to decide on a barbell, reach out to our team of passionate lifters here and we will help match you and your training style with a barbell. You can also check out this blog that compares REP’s various straight barbells.
When your barbell arrives, there will be a light coating of oil on the shaft and sleeves. This is to protect the barbell from the elements during shipping. After a few uses, this light coating of oil will begin to dissipate. However, if desired, the best way to clean the barbell when it first arrives is to use a durable rag and a disinfecting wipe/cleaner that is free of harsh chemicals (such as bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or peroxide). For even more grip, we recommend using chalk.
This bar is designed to last many years without anything more than 3-in-1 oil added for lubrication. Remove dirt or chalk from the knurling with a brush and oil on a microfiber cloth. If you have any issues beyond that, please reach out to our Colorado-based customer support team here.
Yes, it comes with a 1-year warranty.

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoGreat to me for the price
I was looking for a good bar to start with and this fit the price. Quality is great just like everything else I have got from rep.
BBBrandon B. - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoI didn’t know!
I sold my old Weider Pro workout gear and purchased a Rep PR-5000 rack. Needed a bar to replace the old one. This was the least expensive normal full size bar Rep had for sale. I wasn’t expecting anything fancy. It’s so much nicer than my old bar!!!!! Amazing

Good bar good price
RSRene S. - Rated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoHappy with it
The last time I bought a bar was over 30 years ago, as part of a cheap set I bought from Sears (just checked - they DO still exist) when I was 17. My point of comparison is limited. I'm not an olympic lifter or incredibly strong - it makes heavy things go up and down and as far as I know it does it perfectly. If I had the best bar made, maybe I'd know that I'm missing something, but I can't imagine what that would be. Very good value, quality construction.
