The Force USA® The Freedom Barbell V2 is a 2.10-meter-long Olympic barbell with a weight of 15 kg—ideal for women, lighter athletes, and anyone who prefers a shorter, lighter bar for technical training. The V2 version features improved sleeve systems and redesigned knurling.

Key Benefits

• Women's Olympic Standard: At 2.10 m in length and weighing 15 kg, it is ergonomically better suited for shorter athletes and those with less initial strength—making it easier to get started with compound exercises and technical lifting.
• Redesigned bearing sleeves: More uniform sleeve rotation—essential for Olympic weightlifting and clean compound exercises.
• Optimized knurling: Grippy enough for secure control, less aggressive than many men's bars—and suitable for use with chalk.
• Fully compatible with Olympic weight plates (50 mm): You use the same plates as with the 20-kg bar—only the starting weight is lower.
