Rogue 25MM IWF Olympic Weightlifting Bar – Cerakote

This edition of the Rogue 25MM Olympic Weightlifting Bar includes a Black Cerakote finish with official International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) branding on both the center of the shaft and the endcaps. This denotes the bar’s approval from the IWF for use in women’s competition.

Each 15KG bar is machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, and features a 215,000 PSI steel shaft, quality needle bearings, and chrome sleeves with 12.5″ of loadable length. The exclusive Rogue knurl pattern (there is no center knurl) is precision-cut for a firm grip without the sharpness or abrasiveness of many import bars.

We firmly believe the Rogue Olympic Weightlifting Bar ranks among the best bearing bars in the industry for feel, durability, and performance. Its approval from the IWF further proves the high standard to which it’s held.

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.

What Real Customers Had To Say At Rogue Fitness

Positive Reviews

“I love my bar. I use it every time we have lifts in the workout, it’s so smooth and makes everything feel so effortless.”

Negative Reviews

“I’ve been using this bar for about 7 months now. It has smooth spin and great whip the only problem I have with it and the men’s bar that I purchased is the crome is coming off the collars and my girlfriend has cut her finger on it and we have both received crome splinters in our fingers”

“Not long after I got this bar I noticed some of the Cerakote was wearing away in a spot. After about four months’ use I had several spots of cracking, flaking, and chipping. I only use the 360 Barbell Brush that I purchased with the bar, I rarely use chalk, and I’m the only one who uses my bar. I lift in a properly-equipped gym with padded J-cups. When I contacted Rogue, they stated that it was damage sustained from metal-on-metal contact. This is impossible, especially at the handful of parts inside the rings where the bar can’t meet the J-cups. Rogue refused to replace the bar. I will be looking elsewhere for my equipment, which is sad as they are a local business for me. I am hugely disappointed over the progressive worsening of this defective bar over the first four months of use and Rogue’s handling of the situation.”

“Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. It’s not what I expected. The spins not very good and there’s next to no knurling. Makes it hard for hand positions. I asked about exchanging it but was told since she used it I couldn’t. That said Rogue makes great products”
