Fully machined and assembled in Columbus, OH, the Ohio Bar continues to represent the highest level of precision engineering.

Patented
*Please Note: The optional Proprietary Matte Black metal treatment process also hardens the steel, which can cause some additional friction with plates that have a chamfer.

Cerakote Strength + Custom Colors
This version of the Ohio Bar is distinct for its use of an advanced ceramic-based coating, originally established in the gun industry for its durability in thin applications. This unique finish can deliver superb abrasion / wear / corrosion resistance over time—100X that of standard black zinc—and it’s available to order in a range of exclusive colors, with the Rogue logo branded on the center of the shaft. See the menu for current color combination options.

190,000 PSI Steel
This steel is manufactured in the US 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 which allows the bar to have a very smooth finish.
3
Machining & Assembly
Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus, Ohio, with painstaking attention to detail. The knurling has been carefully refined over the years, as well, for a firm but non-abrasive grip (there is no center knurl). We assemble the Ohio Bar with a snap ring design and quality composite bushings, which act as bearing surfaces between the bar sleeve and bar shaft, producing normal “whip” during Oly weightlifting but enough stiffness to hold for heavy powerlifting.
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.
Please Note: Cerakote has an excellent resistance to corrosion, but metal-to-metal contact, particular on the sleeves, can still cause wear over time. For the best long term results, some cleaning and maintenance may be required. See our Ohio Bar Care Page for more info.

Really Disappointed - Terrible Sleeves
I was so excited to buy a Rogue bar for my new home gym after using the cheap bars at my CF gym for 8 years. The navy bar with black sleeves is very nice looking and the bar feels great. However, I am so disappointed at how difficult it is to put plates on and take plates off. I really ruins the entire experience of using this bar. I thought maybe it was my plates, but after reading more reviews since I've received it, it sounds like I'm not the only one having this issue.

Thank you for raising this feedback to our attention. We would like to investigate more into your specific bar, and the team will be reaching out to determine if your sleeves are considered within spec, or need replaced.
Ohio Bar Review
I got the Ohio Ceratoke bar about a month ago and i absolutely love it, great upgrade to my setup as the grip is very grippy, and the bar is so balanced. My only complaints are the width of the bar and a minor color complaint, it is a hair narrow, and I often
find myself nearly racking the bar on its sleeves instead of the main body. The red that is displayed online is slightly darker than what I received, and i was expecting a blood red color, but i got a more basic red.
Yes, I recommend this product

QC issues but bars awesome!
One of the sleeves is slightly larger in diameter whenever I put plates on it grinds the aluminum down on the inside the plate and it’s difficult to slide on but the other sleeve is great and the plates slide on fine. over all the bar is fantastic, I just expected much better QC for the price.

My review (opinion)
It’s awesome. I’m new to barbells so I don’t know if it’s normal but I had to get used to the bit of play on the bar bushings before you feel the weight of the plates. The grip pattern is excellent for grip, obviously.

Solid barbell. Great color
Very happy that I upgraded to this barbell. I especially like the ribbed ends that keep the plates on without a collar. A added bonus for sure! Solid feel, great knurling. I use it about 5 days a week and each time it feels like new.
Yes, I recommend this product

Amazing Bar
The bar arrived within days of purchase (unlike shipping at some of the other guys) and it was well packaged. The bar was flawless and has an excellent feel to it. The coating somewhat dulls the knurling but it has enough grip. I’ve been using it for powerlifting and in my Landmine (also Rogue which I highly recommend). Overall a solid purchase.
