Eleiko introduces the Öppen Collars, a pioneering solution designed to secure barbell weights easily, enhancing performance and safety.

The collars feature a patent-pending, open-sided design—a fresh take on a strength training staple traditionally constructed as a full circle. Named a finalist in the iF DESIGN AWARD 2021, the innovative Eleiko Öppen Collars remove barriers, making collar use accessible for everyone.

Revolutionary Ease of Use

Traditional barbell collars can be complicated, heavy, and hard to fit—an inconvenience many lifters are tempted to skip. With the Eleiko Öppen Collars, users simply place each collar next to the weights and press the lever down to lock them in place, securing weights quickly with single-handed operation.

“The ease of use is what really sets the Öppen Collars apart. They represent a clear departure from conventional weightlifting collars, both in design and functionality. We carefully considered the entire training session—from finding and storing collars to application and the lift itself—to upgrade every aspect of the experience, furthering our position as a leading provider of innovative strength products,” says Erik Blomberg, CEO at Eleiko.

Smart Features for Luxury Home Gyms

With integrated magnets, single-handed lever operation, and powerful clamping force, the Eleiko Öppen Collars are effortless to store and use. The magnets allow users to attach the collars to stands, racks, and benches for easy access, while rubber components provide a secure grip and absorb shock when the barbell is dropped—ideal for premium home gym setups.

The lightweight aluminium casing, NBR rubber, and internal components are fully recyclable. The collars have undergone rigorous testing, including drop tests and repeated opening/closing lever cycles. Compatible with all Eleiko bars and plates, they offer a complete strength training solution perfect for luxury home gyms, performance facilities, and training centres.
