Our Take

A complete Olympic weightlifting training package from Swedish manufacturer Eleiko, combining their XF 20kg barbell with 100kg of bumper plates. Aimed at serious home gym users and club facilities wanting reliable, long-lasting equipment without stepping up to Eleiko's competition-grade pricing. Sits firmly in the premium-training tier rather than entry-level territory.

Key Features

20kg men's Olympic barbell with 28mm shaft diameter, suited to snatch and clean & jerk technique work

Bar rated for significant load capacity with a medium-depth knurl pattern that grips without excessive aggression on the hands

Bumper plates constructed with high-density virgin rubber, designed to deaden floor impact and reduce rebound

Plates carry IWF-standard 450mm diameter, ensuring compatibility with standard Olympic platforms and rigs

Colour-coded plate set for quick weight identification during training sessions

Loadable sleeve length accommodates a practical range of plate combinations within the 100kg total

Our Verdict

Best suited to dedicated home trainers or small coaching facilities who want equipment that will last years without degrading and are willing to pay accordingly. Casual gym-goers or anyone on a tighter budget would get better value looking at mid-market alternatives — the Eleiko premium only makes sense if you'll genuinely use it hard.

What We Like

  • Eleiko build quality is genuinely durable and holds up under repeated daily use in busy gym environments
  • Bumper plates perform consistently well for Olympic lifting, absorbing drops cleanly without excessive bounce
  • Buying as a set offers better value than purchasing bar and plates separately from Eleiko

Things to Consider

  • Price point is substantially higher than comparable sets from brands such as Mirafit or Primal Strength — hard to justify for casual lifters
  • 100kg total may feel limiting fairly quickly for intermediate-to-advanced athletes who lift competitively
  • Bumper plates add considerable bulk on the bar compared to steel plates, reducing sleeve space at heavier loads
  • Eleiko's UK customer service and warranty handling, whilst generally solid, can be slow for replacement parts
