Product Description

After the gods created swords, 50-caliber machine guns, and Harley-Davidsons, they dreamed up the 20KG Rogue Operator Bar. With an original, military-inspired design you won’t find anywhere else in the industry, the latest edition of this versatile 28.5mm barbell introduces a new polymer-ceramic composite finish—the same coating trusted by many firearm manufacturers for its unique durability in thin applications. Customers also now have the option of sticking with the Operator’s classic Olive Drab shaft or swapping it out with any one of several new additional military finishes:

After the gods created swords, 50-caliber machine guns, and Harley-Davidsons, they dreamed up the 20KG Rogue Operator Bar. With an original, military-inspired design you won’t find anywhere else in the industry, the latest edition of this versatile 28.5mm barbell introduces a new polymer-ceramic composite finish—the same coating trusted by many firearm manufacturers for its unique durability in thin applications. Customers also now have the option of sticking with the Operator’s classic Olive Drab shaft or swapping it out with any one of several new additional military finishes:

The Rogue Operator Bar is fully machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, using advanced composite bushings and 190,000 PSI tensile strength steel for the perfect balance of whip and rigidity. The bar features Rogue’s signature knurl pattern with dual knurl marks for both Power and Oly lifts (no center knurl).

Greener, meaner, and made in America, the Rogue Operator Bar 3.0 is Guaranteed for Life against bending and/or broken collars* and is sure to leave an impression on any athlete who uses it—or even sees it. Some may ask why your gym would need an Olive Drab or Desert Tan bar. You can answer simply, “Because I want it.”

F SCALE™

The F Scale™ is a durability scale for barbells based on functional testing at stresses similar to what barbells experience when being dropped from overhead. Bars that have been treated with Rogue Work Hardening (RWH™) are designated by having an R in their F Rating™. For more information on F Scale™ click here.

OXIDATION RATE

The resistance of a barbell to oxidation depends on the type of steel and the coating. Barbells at the lower end of the spectrum will require more care and maintenance to preserve their appearance than barbells at the upper end of the spectrum.

*Warranty against bending does not cover any bar which has been damaged due to negligent or faulty use, alteration, maintenance, storage or handling by the user. Negligent or faulty use includes abusive dropping of the bar (i.e., dropping the bar on a box, bench, spotter arms or pins in a power rack, excessive dropping with insufficient or damaged bumpers, or excessive dropping with iron plates, and similar usage). Any specific issues regarding a Rogue product with which a customer is not satisfied will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. We have found that most problems with bars we replace are related to abusive use rather than manufacturing or materials issues.

Get it!
Love this bar. Was deciding between this and the Ohio Bar. For sure made the right choice. Sometimes a little afraid to damage it but so far so good. Def recommend the nylon brush and oil. This bar feels like it will last the lifetime warranty it comes with. Thank you! Also shout out to the retail location for always being so helpful.

Love this bar, wish it wasn’t rusting
It really is a great bar, the knurling is amazing. Weights load easily, grip is nice. I just wish it didn’t rust so much with the cerakote. You can see it more in the Rogue writing, where I wouldn’t have expected it.. the actual area where your weights slide on and off is holding up better

Functional, Durable and Attractive
I’m so happy I finally pulled the trigger on this bar. It looks and feels amazing, I’m proud to own it, and I look forward to getting my hands on it every time I lift. Knurling is perfect, and the black sleeves are beautiful. The cerakote finish is excellent, but it does look a bit more like paint than anodizing or other metal treatments I’m more familiar with. No issue though, I still love it!

Rusting at the knurl
It's decent for a bar but rusting at the Knurl which started only a couple months after purchase (bought tek gray camo). I also have a cerkote Ohio bar bought a week after that has no signs of rust with even more wear. Disappointing.

Best bar around! I’ve had this bar for 8 years and I can’t complain one bit. The only issue it has is cosmetic where the cerakote has worn out

Nice look and great spin!
It got the black olive with black sleeve, great bar, the regular knurling is enough to have a good grip and is pretty soft on the hands! The spin is smooth and feels great for olympic lifts! It's a ohio bar but with a different look, i recommand it! The only downside is esthetic because the black sleeve wear out a little bit. I was good with it before my purchase, but if you value the durability of the initial look, it's good to know
Yes, I recommend this product
