A Lifetime Of Performance
This means that the Midas' Revenge Barbell will always perform well. This is a bar that’s meant to be used, and with that comes battle scars. Battle scars might look like scuffed collars or wear on the Cerakote shaft, but should be considered badges of honor for a well-used bar.
It won’t break under any circumstances, but if that does happen by chance, send us a message and we’ll get you back on your voyage of strength.
Aggressively Smooth
The Midas’ Revenge Barbell features a moderately-aggressive pyramid knurl covered in a smooth, corrosion-resistant Cerakote finish. It's slow, smooth, predictable spin was designed for slow lifts and powerlifters.
Fit For A King
Buttery, predictable spin from four aerospace-grade bronze oil-lite bushings feels great in your hands and moves smoothly.
Aerospace-grade bushings provide a lifetime of low maintenance and high performance.
If you’re looking for a sexy, ultra-durable general weightlifting barbell, the Midas’ Revenge Barbell will give you gainz as good as gold.
Introducing: Fringe Sport Midas' Revenge Barbell
Is The GOLD Midas Bar Worth The Hype?
The Midas Revenge Bar is suitable for all around use but slightly leaning towards Power Lifting (e.g. bench press, deadlifts, and squats).
Watch this video on how to properly clean your Midas Revenge Bar:
Ideally, you should perform maintenance on your Midas Revenge Bar every 12 to 18 months.
The sleeves are ribbed to ensure that the plates stay in place while lifting.
No, the sleeves are coated in gold colored titanium. Titanium is 40% lighter than high-strength steel, but is just as strong. This means the sleeves on the Midas’ Revenge Bar are ultra-durable and resistant against oxidation. Unfortunately, real gold is super soft and easily bends, so it would be terrible for a coating on a barbell built for super performance.
Cerakote makes a highly effective barrier against oxidation and corrosion. People living in humid environments or on a coast find this advantageous. Cerakote also helps defend against excess sweat (think lifting in Fringe HQ in Austin during hot summer months) and extremely hot and dusty environments as well.
Originally developed for the military for firearms application, Cerakote protects against corrosion resistance, enhances impact strength (so you can drop away!), and chemical resistance in the most extreme conditions worldwide. If the US military uses Cerakote in the harshest conditions in the world, then you bet it’s what’s on our Midas’ Revenge barbell.
This bar is the sexiest thing in my garage gym (except for me). It fits like a dream in my hands and looks AMAZING. I'll never lift with anything else.
