NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SPARBAR Inc., the North American distributor and IP licensee of the U.K. created SPARBAR®-branded boxing fitness equipment, is pleased to announce the release of its SPARBAR® SB1™ Collection, including the SPARBAR® Pro 4.0 and 4X series. The boxing and fitness equipment innovator sets a new bar in boxing as a movement with this latest design-centric edition, manufactured for high stress loads.

SPARBAR® Pro 4 Series

The SPARBAR® Pro 4 series is available in 7 vibrant, eye catching designs with premium versions in gold, pink, white, yellow. Additionally, the luxurious SPARBAR® PRO 4X editions are hand crafted from 100% genuine cowhide leather and are available in Midnight Black and Vintage Brown, for the more sophisticated boxing enthusiast. 

The Official. The Original. The world-famous SPARBAR®

Re-engineered for faster, more interactive sparring experience, the SPARBAR® PRO 4X builds focus, speed and hand eye co-ordination and has had knock-out reviews from some of the best combat sports athletes in the business.

Tested via industry leading software measuring rotation speed, stress loads, and with reaction simulations performed by some of the top boxers in the world, this is the most innovative SPARBAR®-branded fitness equipment to date.

Sparbar brand founder, President, CEO and Head of Product Development, Jasvinder “Jazz” Gill, said: “In 2020, the year of the home workout, we had a record demand, and we invested in updating the SPARBAR® Pro to make it our most precision-engineered training device.”

SPARBAR® SB1 Collection

The SPARBAR® combat line is designed for a premium boxing experience. The SB1™ Collection includes a fine selection of heavy punch bags such as the SB1 Heavy Angle™. Handcrafted from 100% genuine cowhide leather, the punch bag comes in an hourglass shape simulating body curvature.

Explore striking targets, speed balls or training noodles for a dynamic sparring experience. Head guards, body protectors, gloves and accessories are also available in a kids' edition for champions in the making.

The advanced ergonomic design and artisanal finishes of premium fabrics help to develop speed, power and accuracy for signature strikes. All SPARBAR®-branded fitness products are stress tested to satisfy the world's heaviest hitters, yet are designed for anyone – no matter what age, gender or fitness level – to enjoy exceptional resistance and rhythm in a boxing workout.

Jasvinder “Jazz” Gill, said that “boxing is a lifestyle. When you decide for it, you have to commit to this sport. We want to shake up the boxing game and make it vibrant – add color and lifestyle to boxing as a workout. It is important for us to keep pioneering and to push boundaries in the boxing space, and to celebrate this sport.”

In light of the overwhelmingly positive reviews pouring in from customers old and new, Sparbar looks to continue to expand its collections in the coming months.

“We all fight for something.”

Jazz founded the SPARBAR® brand in 2012. Since then, SPARBAR® has stood for the development of highly interactive, intuitive boxing equipment. The SPARBAR® Pro device is backed by pro athletes and celebrity fitness enthusiasts such as Anthony Joshua, Roy Jones Jr., Kevin Hart and Scott Adkins – to name but a few.

With the pandemic, the importance placed upon personal fitness and mental health drastically increased. For the SPARBAR® team, it is important to empower those goals, and make boxing as a high-intensity workout accessible to anyone, no matter what age, gender or fitness level.

New, design-protected skins are part of a rebranding in order to distinguish the SPARBAR® brand visually from counterfeiters. 

The original SPARBAR® products are available at sparbar.com and at retailers listed at this website.
