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.

  • NEW Cerakote finish with “negative” Rogue and Chan logos on shaft
  • NEW Stainless Steel Shaft: 200 KSI tensile strength

  • 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 4.8 out of 5 by 86.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptional Multi-Purpose Bar Finished my first day with the new bar (Black/Black) and here are my first thoughts. Whip is excellent on it. Bearing could use slightly more spin for my taste (gets about 3-5 rotations when free spun/could break in more or use a lubing). Absolutely love the wider spacing between the knurling allowing for more smooth bar for the shins. The grip is just shy as aggressive as my buddies Ohio Power Bar (Cerakote) on the outside knurling and the center knurling is just enough grip to get some stick but smooth enough to not worry about shirtless back squats. Only thing I would change as of day 1 is I wanted the chrome sleeve but settled for the cerakote due to availability and that first plate sliding down that fresh black cerakote plating was saddening. Guess we will just call em battle scars lol. Will try to remember to check back in over the next year to update after some real time of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best bar I’ve ever used. Love Matt Chan and not surprised he designed a nearly perfect bar. The only way it would be better would be if it lifted the weight for you. Perfect amount of whip and give. Extremely sturdy. The knurl pattern is ideal. The break in knurl means no tearing up your shins or knees and the soft knurl is great for resting near the top of your chest. This thing rules.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chan Review This is actually my second review - Rogue intercepted my first review, which was not stellar because the Rogue branding was crooked on the bar just like it is in the picture on the site. So Rogue REPLACED my Chan bar with a new one that was not crooked. This is customer service at its best right here folks. I agree with everyone else on the knurling - it is very nice. Compared to my black oxide Ohio bar, this is maybe 25-30% sharper and grippier. In my opinion this knurling should be the standard on the Ohio bars. Its just perfect. Other than that, stainless with cerakote, all black, what's not to like?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome bar I had an old cheapo bar that didn’t fit some of my new bumper plates. Thought my plates were bad. No, it was the bar. The new rogue bar is precision and no issues. Problem solved.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chan bar with Chrome sleeves Absolutely phenomenal bar! I own two other Rogue bars, the Ohio bar and the Ohio power bar. This is hands down my favorite. This bar performs across the board. Stiff enough for power lifts and plenty of spin for Olympic lifts. The extra width between the knurl is fantastic on deadlifts. I know knurl is subjective but the knurl on this bar is perfect. It really sticks to the hands. With the Cerakote over stainless and chrome sleeves it should last almost forever. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing bar The best bar you could ever purchase. The light mid knurling is amazing and the grip is perfect. Not overly aggressive for OLY and enough for power movements. Great whip and perfect feel. If you are a CrossFit athlete or hop around lift styles then this bar is for you.
Date published: 2020-10-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Favorite My favorite bar. The knurling is deeper than my cerakote Ohio bar, and feels on par with my SS Ohio bar, but not as deep as cerakote OPB. This is my power bar, center knurl is light but sticky, doesn’t dig in like my OPB. Whip is decent, no issues squatting 315+, maybe grab the OPB if you’re squatting over 400. I do wish Rogue beef up the shipping tubes, 2 of my bars showed up damaged due to the end caps coming off.
Date published: 2020-09-30
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great design, poor robustness Functionality/design of the the bar nails it. Nice controllable spin, knurls in the middle are a lifesaver when squatting without a shirt and provides a bit of extra grip for oly lifts and front squats. The extra space between outer knurls save the shins for sure. For robustness, or lack thereof, the bar looks super sharp out the box but heaven forbid you sweat on this thing. The polished/non-cerakoted areas rust quicker than I've ever seen a bar do so. I received/have been using it for about 3 wks. This bar will not be around for the long run. Very unfortunate.
