Product Description

MEN'S 20KG POWERLIFTING BARBELL

Combining elements from our flagship 28.5MM Ohio Bar and the 2X AGGRO Power Bar, the Hybrid Power Bar features a 28.5MM shaft with the distinctive knurling of the 2X AGGRO Bar. The narrower shaft diameter makes the knurling more prominent, providing athletes with an improved grip on the bar and creating a superior lifting experience.


PRECISION MEETS POWER

Every Hybrid Power Bar is precisely machined and assembled in Columbus, OH using US steel that is proven ideal for heavy powerlifting. We combine a low flexion shaft, 190,000 PSI tensile strength for black zinc or 200,000 PSI for stainless, IPF powerlifting knurl marks and our signature 2X AGGRO Power Bar knurling. The knurling is machined in a pattern that is very aggressive, featuring a deep, coarse pattern providing an ideal surface for heavy pulls without being abrasive. Additionally, it features a matching center knurl that adheres to your back when you need it most.


ENHANCED FEATURES

Best In Class Durability:  Engineered to withstand the heavy demands required from the home gym to the commercial facility. Read more here.

2X Quieter Performance: Refined with even stricter tolerances, precision-machined bronze bushings fit tighter around the shaft, and improved internal sleeve tolerances dampen sound and eliminate unwanted movement, ensuring a smoother and more stable lift.

Low Profile Sleeve Design: The sleeves are now machined using a new low-profile sleeve design that allows for easier than ever loading and unloading of plates.


UNMATCHED REPUTATION

The Rogue Hybrid Power Bar holds the standard set by the Ohio Power Bar as the premier choice for powerlifting barbells in the industry. With our latest edition, we've taken our flagship power bar to new levels, introducing the most precision machined power bars yet. More than just a barbell, the Rogue Hybrid Power Bar represents where we work, who we are, and the pride we feel in continuing to make the best weightlifting bars in the market.

Best In Class Durability

With a F-Scale rating of F8-R, F10-R for stainless, the Hybrid Power Bar is among the most durable barbells in its class. By optimizing materials and manufacturing techniques, the Hybrid Power Bar has been engineered to withstand the heavy demands that powerlifting places on barbells today, whether it be used daily in the garage or in a high-use commercial gym. Read more  here.

LOW PROFILE SLEEVE DESIGN

Our new low-profile sleeve design makes loading and unloading plates easier than ever. The precision-machined sleeve is then treated with our proprietary matte black process, significantly enhancing its resistance to corrosion and impact. This treatment ensures that the sleeves retain their appearance for a much longer duration compared to traditional sleeve finishes.

Loading

2X QUIETER PERFORMANCE

Using precision machining, we are able to tighten the fit of the sleeve on the shaft which means a smoother spin, a more connected feeling while lifting and significant noise reduction.

How It's Made
1

FRICTION WELDING

The collars of the sleeves are friction welded, creating the strongest sleeves in the industry. This bond is as strong as if machined from a single piece of steel, while saving on waste and cost. 

Rogue Work Hardening
2

Rogue Work Hardening

Our patented, proprietary process more than doubles the durability and lifespan of the barbell shaft compared to our competitors. 

Proprietary Sleeve Finish
3

Proprietary Sleeve Finish

Our matte black sleeve option involves a new process that effectively transforms the surface of the steel rather than coating it. This transformation significantly enhances the sleeves’ corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance. 

State-of-the-art Gauging
4

State-of-the-art Gauging

We use gauging normally employed in the aerospace industry to ensure that every bar that makes it to a customer is exactly as designed.

Barbell Durability

RUST RESISTANCE

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.

BARBELL DURABILITY

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.

F SCALE™ APPLICATION

How a barbell is used will affect its durable lifespan and it's a key factor in determining what type of F Rating™ might be suitable for your gym's needs. This graph correlates the F Rating™ of a barbell with different types of usage in order to predict the durable lifespan. Using this data, we are able to make recommendations on what F Rating™ is appropriate for different training situations. With a rating of F8-R, and F10-R for stainless, the Hybrid Power Bar is rated to outlast a lifetime of lifting (50+ years) in a powerlifting facility or home gym.

Key Features of the Rogue Hybrid Power Bar

Optimized for Powerlifting and Strength Programs
1

Optimized for Powerlifting and Strength Programs

Bars made for powerlifting have a more aggressive knurl, a center knurl, less whip, knurl markings specified by powerlifting federations, and sleeves with controlled spin. The Rogue Hybrid Power Bar incorporates all of these and is optimized for powerlifters or any other athletes who prioritize strength training as part of their program. The narrower 28.5MM shaft diameter makes the knurling more prominent, providing athletes with an improved grip on the bar and more flex than our 29MM Power Bars, allowing for slightly more movement in the shaft for heavy pulls while still maintaining enough stability for heavy benching and squatting.

Aggressive Knurl
2

Aggressive Knurl

With a 2X AGGRO knurl as developed for our AGGRO power bars, the aggressive knurl of the Rogue Hybrid Power Bar is created through advanced tooling and specially designed so that we can produce a precision, repeatable pattern that looks as good as it grips without feeling sharp in the hands or against the athlete’s shoulders. The bar includes standard Powerlifting knurl marks as well as a full 2X AGGRO center knurl.

Tight Manufacturing Tolerances
3

Tight Manufacturing Tolerances

Manufactured in Columbus, Ohio, every connection in the Rogue Hybrid Power Bar has tightened tolerances measuring in the thousandths of an inch for a solid feeling bar that is without comparison in the powerlifting space. With most barbells and actually most manufactured products, there is a tradeoff between tight tolerances and reliability. This tradeoff can be avoided by precision manufacturing and machining, leading to a bar with tight tolerances that lasts a lifetime.

Maximized Feel of Stainless Steel
4

Maximized Feel of Stainless Steel

The stainless steel shaft of the Hybrid Power Bar is 28.5MM in diameter, slightly thinner than a typical power bar. This creates an even better feel on the bar, as the 2X AGGRO knurl feels more prominent than it would on a 29MM shaft. The lack of any coating also gives the user the “true” grip we intended to produce. Chalk not required. With a tensile strength of 200,000 PSI, the bar reduces unwanted whip, even without the thicker shaft. As many gym owners know, stainless steel has few rivals when it comes to looks, grip, and corrosion resistance, and it is low maintenance compared to other finishes.

A Note on Bar Cleaning: Rogue recommends using a synthetic bristle brush, NOT a steel brush, to clean a stainless steel shaft. Using steel on stainless steel can contaminate the stainless steel and cause rusting. See more tips here: Bar Care & Maintenance.

Superior Sleeves, Controlled Spin
5

Superior Sleeves, Controlled Spin

The Hybrid Power Bar is made to tighter tolerances, resulting in less axial and radial float of the sleeves and a smooth, controlled spin and solid feel when lifting. Each sleeve includes 16.4” of loadable length and our proprietary matte black finish, which converts the surface of the steel rather than coating it, greatly improving the sleeves’ corrosion resistance and long-term color endurance.

Precision Gauging
6

Precision Gauging

Using advanced optical profilometry as well as electronic custom gauging for every aspect of the bar, we can produce bars that consistently meet our exacting standards. This applies to the knurl and the sleeve profile, as well as the features in the shaft and sleeves that result in the perfect fit when assembling the bars.

This bar is awesome
The bar feels rock solid in my hands during deadlift and doesn't shift on my back during squats. Also, it looks and feels like a premium made barbell. Very happy with it and would highly recommend to anyone in the market for a power bar.
Yes, I recommend this product
