Great value
Great value overall but competely devoid of any markings of any sort so a bit of a hassle trying to find your grip...

Excellent way to burn up your grip
Just got this and have used it a few times. It does a great job of changing up the workouts.

Love it, but not pretty.
I have big hands and the axle bar just feels so much better than a normal barbell.
Unfortunately, the powder coating is mediocre. Parts of the coating had already flaked off during shipping. I could understand if I dropped it, banged it or otherwise was rough using the bar, but powdercoat damage in shipping? Really?

Solid change of pace bar
Bought this a month ago so my box would have it to prepare for events. Works well and does the job!

Good value for those starting out
When I was getting back into lifting a few years back, I didn't have a lot of spare cash to blow on gear, but I wanted to be able to lift at home. I decided to get the axle rather than a standard barbell mainly because it was cheaper.
Aside from the lower price, I think this is especially well suited for beginners because you will develop your grip strength from the beginning. It also prevents you from jumping up in weight too fast because your grip will be more of a limiting factor.
I also did not have money for a rack at that time, but luckily the axle is very comfortable for zercher squats, so those were my main squats for a year. I eventually picked up an Ohio Power Bar (which is really great), but I still frequently use the axle and never regret having it.
In terms of improvements, it would be great if Rogue could add some grip marks (even if just painted) like on a standard barbell. I use tape to achieve this, but it comes off over time and it's annoying to have to measure and reapply.

Functional bar for purpose, with design flaws.
From the outset, let me say that I love Rouge for their company ethos, their products and the courage to try new things. This Bar is one of their things that in all honesty isn't the best in regards to COSMETIC durability - but it is strong and functional. As you can see in my attached pictures, the power coating on the sleeves is really as bad idea - this is after 2 months of use (Purchased Now 2017)
But in looking at all of the Rouge products I've bought, this is really the only one I would say is below Rogues usual 10/10 score for build,fit and finish of all other products I have.
I'd still recommend it as it really is a bar for a specific purpose, but I hope in future they may change the finish on the sleeves (I don't know how hard this is, because I'm not a metal worker, builder, designer etc..)

Much improved over earlier models
The powder coat and feel of the bar is much improved over the one we have from 4 years ago
