Rogue Chan Bar - Cerakote

$395.00
* Required Options

Matt Chan Bar

The Cerakote version of the Matt Chan Bar takes the key elements from the original design and introduces an assortment of new features, each selected with input from the CrossFit legend himself. These changes include:

  • A new stainless steel shaft with a higher tensile strength of 200,000 PSI
  • Ultra-durable Cerakote color finish with photo-negative style Rogue and Chan logos directly on the shaft
  • Your choice of Black Cerakote or Chrome Sleeves

The 28.5MM Cerakote Chan Bar is manufactured in Columbus, Ohio, USA, and features black composite bushings, 16.5” of loadable sleeve length, and dual Powerlifting and Olympic knurl marks. As part of Matt’s customization, a center knurl is included for athletes who prefer a little extra “stick” when in 
the front rack position or back squatting. This center knurling is non-cerakoted stainless steel and passive in texture, so it gives a “true” feel without shredding the skin like more aggressive center knurls
 might.

Key Features of the Cerakote Chan Bar

  • 1Co-Developed with Matt Chan

    As a former firefighter and four-time Top 10 finisher at the CrossFit Games, Matt Chan is a man whose opinions tend to carry weight around here.
 We took great pride in bringing his original vision for a custom barbell to life several years ago, and we’ve gladly welcomed him back to Columbus to work on our design for this new Cerakote version, which we think is one of the coolest bars we've built to date.

  • 2New Cerakote Finish

    The new Chan Bar is finished using a polymer-ceramic composite coating called Cerakote, which has been popular for years in the gun industry for its remarkable durability in thin applications. This advanced finish can deliver superb abrasion/wear/corrosion resistance over time—100X that of standard black zinc—while also enabling much greater flexibility in color choices and design. Available here in a gun-metal grey, the finish creates a very unique look in combination with the stainless steel shaft. Customers can also opt for Black Cerakote sleeves (with chrome as the other option).

  • 3New Stainless Steel Shaft

    By changing to a stainless steel shaft with this model, we’ve increased its tensile strength to 200,000 PSI, while also opening up a great new aesthetic dynamic with the Cerakote coating. Rogue and Matt Chan logos are now featured directly on the shaft in a photo-negative effect. These logos are placed on each side of the center knurl.

  • 4Rogue Machining and Assembly

    Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus, Ohio, with painstaking attention to detail. We assemble the Chan 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.

  • 5Standard Knurl with Passive Center Knurl

    Carried over from the original Chan Bar, a center knurl is included for athletes who prefer a little extra “stick” when in 
the front rack position or back squatting. This center knurling is non-cerakoted stainless steel and passive in texture, so it gives a “true” feel without shredding the skin like more aggressive center knurls
 might. The bar also includes dual knurl marks for Powerlifting and Oly lifting, with the outer knurling spaced further apart to allow a wider stance on cleans and deadlifts without the knurling scraping the shins.

  • 6Fast Rogue Shipping

    Orders placed by 3PM ship the same day. The Rogue Shipping System allows you to track your order from the time you place it to the time it hits your door. Order today, track today.

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.

Additional Specifications:

  • Machined and Assembled in Columbus, OH, USA
  • Lifetime Guarantee Against Bending*
  • Diameter: 28.5MM
  • NEW Cerakote finish with “negative” Rogue and Chan logos on shaft
  • NEW Stainless Steel Shaft: 200 KSI tensile strength
  • Dual Knurl Marks for O-Lifts and Power Lifts
  • Standard Knurl with Passive Center Knurl (non-cerakoted)
  • Outer Knurling slightly more aggressive for easier hold during high rep barbell work, & spaced far enough apart for wide stances on cleans and deadlifts (without scrapes and bruises)
  • Choice of Black Cerakote or Chrome Sleeves
  • Black Composite Bushings
  • F Rating: F2

Cleaning:The recommended maintenance is to use a plastic bristle brush and mild detergent to clean the knurl. Next, wipe the bar down with 3-in-1 oil. Finish by removing any excess oil with a dry towel.

*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.

Rogue Chan Bar - Cerakote is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 69.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chan Bar 1.2 This is a great bar. It has two great features that I only appreciated more after having it and using it for a while; 1. The passive center knurl - is great for cleans and just enough knurl to help with cleans or shoulder to overhead movements without a shirt on. 2. The larger (21 inch) gap between outer knurling - I am constantly roughing up my quads and shins in various pulls, and this essentially eliminates those issues and translates to much more efficient bar movement. Can't say enough about this bar. If you're looking for a quality all-purpose barbell for the gym, this is it hands down.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Aesthetic/Quality/Performance The new cerakote Matt Chan barbell is one of the most aesthetic barbells I have ever seen. The barbell was a Christmas gift, I can not give a review of its performance, but from the little bit I did use it and how it felt in my hands I am confident it will meet all expectations. This barbell is a unique gem in a unique a market saturated with “quality barbells”.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bar for all around lifting I bought this bar out of the boneyard a few months back (Not the Cerakote version). It has been phenomenal and has been great for all around lifting. I do crossfit and it has obviously been great for that. But also for powerlifting as well. The center knurl is an awesome feature in my opinion. Only thing is that because of the extra space between knurled areas, your grip may be a little wide for sumo deadlift. If you want to keep your hands on the knurl, that is. But other than that, superb.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best bar I’ve used! Have used several rogue bars, the new Chan bar makes hand placement quick, knurling is perfect for grip. Have zero complaints, worth the money!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 3+ Years Later... I bought this a few years back, called and requested this bar with out the zinc coating. Customer service said not a problem. I live in Florida, yet it spins fine still and even with the benign neglect and not frequent enough light oiling, it has no rust to speak of, even getting the patina you read about. I recommend with out reservations, and if you can manage a small a mount of care, go zincless!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Purchase from Rouge I've had this bar for a month and I've had opportunity to use it quite a bit. This is my first Rouge barbell. I've only ever used gym equipment from big box gyms. My biggest like about the bar is the knurl. It doesn't chew your hands up yet I've never felt like my grip was slipping. Even during heavy deadlifts and rows, it feels perfect. I'm 5' 10" but I still appreciate the wider spacing between the center and outer knurls. No worries on shredding your thighs or shins on deadlifts. The center knurl is a plus on high bar squats because it "sticks" in place with ripping your neck. Worth every penny.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The feel is great!! I have owned my own gym for 20 years and we have been thru some bars in that time. I searched for a quality bar with center knurling and came across this! Zero regrets. The lines and the whip are great! Some other reviewers state that the finish comes off the sleeves with use and it does some. I look at it as a sign of progress!
Date published: 2018-05-31
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Bar This bar meets and exceeds our needs for power and Olympic lifting, love it!
