The original black oxide finish of the Ohio Bar, pays homage to the old school iron game.

With this treatment process, the knurl is left exactly how Rogue machined it, providing a great feel that cannot be achieved with other finishes.

Rogue Fitness Ohio Bar

 

The Rogue Ohio bar features Rogue’s signature knurl pattern with dual knurl marks for both powerlifting and Olympic lifts without center knurling.

Refined with even stricter tolerances, precision-machined bronze bushings fit tighter around the shaft, and improved internal sleeve tolerances dampen sound and eliminate unwanted movement, ensuring a smoother and more stable lift.

With a F-Scale rating of F8-R, the Ohio Bar is among the most durable barbells in its class.

Knurling

Knurling falls in the middle of the road on the knurl scale, striking a balance without being overly aggressive or passive.

---

Finish

Each Ohio Bar finish offers a different level of oxidation protection and has a direct effect on the feel of the knurl.

Black Oxide is a mild oxidation protectant process.

This type of steel treatment will still require some maintenance but will give the best knurl feel, more like a bare steel bar.

What Rogue Fitness Says

When we launched the 20 kg Ohio Bar in 2013, we set out to make the best all-around barbell on the market.

This is so much more than a regular trap bar.

While the open trap bar deadlift is the most common exercise, our removable handles allow you to perform even more exercises by creating more space inside the frame.
