Stainless Steel Ohio Bar
The new stainless steel version of our 20KG Rogue Ohio Bar is machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, and features a 200K PSI tensile strength shaft, chrome sleeves, and an exclusive Rogue knurl pattern that’s 100% in its original, machined form for an unmatched feel.
With quality composite bushings and dual knurl marks, the Stainless Steel Ohio Bar is optimized for both Olympic lifts and Powerlifting—delivering a firm but non-abrasive grip, a consistent spin, and a unique balance of whip and rigidity.
We call it the Ohio Bar because we think it represents more than just the Rogue brand. It’s a testament to where we work, who we are, and the pride we feel in making the best American-made weightlifting bars on the market. To check out the same bar with zinc or black oxide finish options, see our standard Ohio Bar page.

What Sets This Ohio Bar Apart:
-
1200,000 PSI Steel
This high tensile strength steel is manufactured in the USA and has proven to be one of the best steel variants for a multi-purpose barbell. Each barbell shaft is ground and polished prior to machining, allowing for a very smooth finish.
-
2Machining
Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus, Ohio. A great deal of pride is built into each bar as the knurling process is an art. We spent months working on the knurl we believe to be the best for the Ohio Bar.
To test the knurl it is more a beer tasting process than exact measurement. There is a look and feel that go into testing every bar.
-
3The Look & Feel of Stainless Steel
With no plating, the knurl on the Stainless Steel Ohio Bar is left exactly how we machined it, providing a great feel that cannot be achieved with other finishes. It’s similar to the knurl feel from a bare steel shaft, but with better corrosion resistance. The combination of a stainless steel shaft and chrome sleeves also creates a sharp look with few equals. Please Note: Rogue recommends using a synthetic bristle brush, NOT a steel brush, to clean a stainless steel shaft. Steel on steel can cause rusting over time. See more tips here: Bar Care & Maintenance.
-
4Assembly
The Ohio Bar is assembled with the same black composite bushings as the Rogue Bar 2.0, which act as bearing surfaces between the bar sleeve and bar shaft. This is a very robust way of building a barbell, and can produce a smooth, consistent spin not possible with lesser import bars. Each bar comes with an “Ohio Bar Card” that has the initials of the Rogue team member that built it.
-
5Performance
The multi-purpose Ohio Bar will have normal “whip” during Olympic weightlifting and enough stiffness to hold for heavy Powerlifting. The steel in this bar is proven as an excellent choice for weightlifters.
-
6Fast Rogue Shipping
Rogue prides itself on fast, professional shipping. If your bar is ordered by 3PM EST Monday-Friday, it will ship same day. Your bar will be packaged safely and ship fast. You can follow the progress of your order using the Rogue Shipping Tracker.

You won’t be disappointed
Bought this on Black Friday 2016, so I’ve had my bar for a while. This thing is super sweet. The knurling is great for tons of reps equally as well as low rep max’s. I’ve pr’ed with this bar on deadlifts, and chalk isn’t really even needed for most training; knurling is that well. I have a bar that spins fantastically, really impressive for bushings. Very well put together, no corners cut. I have purchased 2 other rogue bars, the Cerakote Ohio (black shaft, chrome sleeves/ which is also dope!) and operator 3.0 and this Ohio SS feels as though the build quality was top priority. Still my favorite bar! Purchased shortly after it was released and I received a legit blemish-free, perfect bar. I wipe it down with a rag after use, virtually maintenance free! You’ll love it. In relation to its stainless properties, it’s not needed, but the price for it really is a slick deal. Sweet grip, outdoor use, no maintenance problems, what can I say! Thanks Rogue.

Fantastic bar.
Finally decided to move my workouts into my own garage. This bar is so much better than I ever had available at the local gym. Very happy.

Fantastic!
I have been using my stainless steel Ohio Bar for three months now and it is fantastic - it looks great, feels great and the quality is fantastic. The bar is perfect for my home workouts with a nice knurl and more than adequate spin. I live in a moist climate and the stainless steel and chrome construction will ensure a long life with minimal maintenance. Thanks Rogue.

Love the feel of this barbell
Have had the barbell a little over a month now, using it 4-5 times per week. I cannot speak to the longevity, but the feel in the hands is fantastic. Much more agreesive knurl than my rouge bar (1.0), which I like. Deadlifts stick to my hands, squats stick to my back, the looks is nice and I will appreciate that the finish will not wear through.
One downside is that the bar came covered in little flecks of stainless steel. These became very irritating in my hands after the first few lifting sessions. Rogue should be taking a little more time to brush off or clean up the material after the knurling is cut!
