MG-4CN Narrow Multi Grip Camber Bar

The MG-4NC is adapted from the design of our MG-4C Camber Multi-Grip Bar, and is distinguished by its narrower frame (7.1” wide vs. 10”) and shorter/thicker handles (5” long vs. 6.75” long, 32mm diameter vs. 28.5mm). As with the other speciality bars in Rogue’s MG-4 series*, this model offers two major advantages over other multi-grip barbells on the market:

• The sleeves rotate in the style of a standard barbell and come in your choice of two nearly indestructible finishes.
• Athletes can select both the width and angle of the handles, building a bar that is optimized for their size and training preferences.

*For a flat, non-cambered multi-grip bar with these same features, see our MG-4F Bar. 

The MG-4CN’s friction welded sleeves, which are available with 9” of loadable length or 15.5” of loadable length, use the same internal components as our standard barbells and rotate on shafts made from the same stainless steel as our power bars. The distance between the sleeves is also the standard 51.5”, making the bar rackable on any Rogue power rack, squat stand, rig, or bench.

In addition to the pair of 5”  straight handles included with the Narrow Camber Multi-Grip Bar, customers can order extra pairs of straight, 16-degree, or 20-degree handles, which can be added to the frame at 1 inch intervals. For functional use, this means that sets of handles can be spaced anywhere from a minimum of 6” to a maximum of 26” apart, allowing athletes to customize their bar for multiple movements–from close grip presses and triceps work to biomechanically optimized grips at shoulder-width and beyond. All handles, regardless of angle, have a diameter of 32mm and the same knurl pattern as our Ohio Bars. 

Please Note: Due to their shorter length, the 5” long handles of the MG-4CN are NOT compatible with bars in the MG-4 series.

The sleeves, handles, and hardware of the MG-4CN are all finished in your choice of either stainless steel or our proprietary matte black finish. Both of these extremely durable, corrosion-resistant options will maintain the look and performance of the sleeves across daily use. And because the proprietary matte black finish doesn’t add any thickness when applied, customers can expect that both the stainless and black handle options will feel exactly as they would coming straight out of the lathe. Note: The handle and bolt finish will match your selected sleeve finish. 

The 41” frame portion of the bar is built from 1” x 2” 11-gauge steel tubing with 1/4” plates, a machined socket, and a matte black powder coat finish. The cambered shape with 3.5” of drop allows for a greater range of motion when using the outer handles on certain movements (such as bench or rows), and also helps to improve stability, as the bar’s center of mass–relative to hand placement–is lower. At a width of 7.1”, the frame of the MG-4CN is also nearly 3” narrower than the standard MG-4C, allowing for easier maneuverability for some athletes. 

The sleeves are assembled to the shafts by our barbell assembly team, but to save on shipping costs, we developed a unique interlocking taper design that allows for easy assembly with a single nut using the included wrench. The joint created by this interlocking taper is every bit as strong as a weld, and will hold up to whatever an athlete throws at it. Even after the nut is removed, it takes a lot of force with a mallet to free the shaft from the socket (something to keep in mind if you decide to change to a different sleeve length at a later date). 

Two Sleeve Length Options (Both are Rackable):

• 15.5” of Loadable Sleeve Space - 54LB unloaded bar weight (frame + sleeves + 2 handles). Available with stainless steel or proprietary matte black finish.
• 9” of Loadable Sleeve Space - 44 LB unloaded bar weight (frame + sleeves + 2 handles). Available with stainless steel or proprietary matte black finish.

*The shaft is stainless steel in all versions, regardless of sleeve finish or length.

IMPORTANT: The MG-4CN Bar ships with the sleeve assemblies and handles disconnected from the frame, but all required hardware and tools for assembly are provided, including a set of 5/16” allen keys + 1/2” x 2-½” button heads bolts for the handles and a 1.5” Monster Wrench for securing the sleeve to the frame.
