Markos, did a bit of searching and found some posts by Glenn Pendlay himself about the bar. Apparently the bushing bar is a bit of a hybrid bar. Not quite as flexible as a true oly bar. He said it was a good all purpose bar for someone doing the powerlifts who also likes to powerclean regularly.
He also said that they have tested it with a few 900lb squats.

PS: Just incase you check The QLD Weightlifting Association website, they have some information re the women's bar which I find to be wrong:
the diameter of the bar: 20mm, (that is wrong, the correct answer is 25mm).
My gym.
It will be used for lots of exercises, but in PL, the rings are 81cm. It would be nice to have all the bars the same.
My abc bar is 81cm. I might just order a few more of those.
