Pythia Powerlifting Bar
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and installation arranged by your concierge.
SELVARNE Iron Room — calibrated, guaranteed, delivered in place
The Pythia is the honest metre-stick of strength: precision-ground steel, knurl cut to grip without punishment, and spin tuned to its discipline. A bar you buy once and argue about never.
We machine, weld and finish in our own European workshops, to tolerances borrowed from industries where failure is not a word: bushings pressed to a sliding fit, pivots aligned by fixture, hardware torque-specified and marked. The result moves like an instrument and wears like a bridge.

Care & Maintenance
The finish system shrugs off chalk, sweat and knocks; mild soap and water is all it ever needs. An annual service — pivots, cables, upholstery fixings — can be performed by your team with the supplied guide or booked with a SELVARNE technician. Spare-part availability is guaranteed for 15 years.
Questions, Answered
What knurling does it have?
A precise, medium-depth diamond cut — secure under chalk and heavy loads, kind to skin across high-volume sessions. Passive zones are placed exactly where the lifts want them.
Do sets match across the range?
Yes — finishes, markings and tolerances are standardised across SELVARNE free weights, so sets purchased years apart still train and look as one.
