Product Description
The Kabuki Strength Kadillac Bar is manufactured in Ohio by Rogue Fitness and now comes standard with knurled handles and a Signature Texture Black powdercoat finish. Customers can also choose to upgrade to our Proprietary Matte Black sleeve finish, which uses a process that effectively transforms the surface of the steel rather than coating it, greatly increasing the sleeves’ long-term corrosion resistance and color endurance (this upgrade comes with black mounting hardware).

Kabuki Kadillac Bar
The Kabuki Strength Kadillac Bar is manufactured in Ohio by Rogue Fitness and now comes standard with knurled handles and a Signature Texture Black powdercoat finish. Customers can also choose to upgrade to our Proprietary Matte Black sleeve finish, which uses a process that effectively transforms the surface of the steel rather than coating it, greatly increasing the sleeves’ long-term corrosion resistance and color endurance (this upgrade comes with black mounting hardware).
Cambered to the same angle as Kabuki’s Duffalo Bar, the Kadillac Bar is a specialty neutral grip / football bar that enables a full range of motion, with convenient rackability on any standard power rack (40.5” to 52.5”). The bar includes 1.33” diameter handles spaced 15.3”, 22.3”, and 29.2” apart, with 10°, 12.5°, and 15° grip angles. The variability of handle placement and angles offers countless variations in exercises and progressions, and also promotes optimal, stacked joint position and improved movement mechanics.
Athletes can utilize the Kadillac Bar in both standard and reverse grip positions, and the precision-machined, zinc-plated sleeves (with 16.7” loadable length) enable the use of regular barbell collars. The sleeves are also removable, reducing the overall shipping cost. A 9/16” wrench and 7/32” hex key are included for easy assembly.
While the Kadillac Bar is primarily a bench press / neutral grip football barbell, it can also be used for curls, skull crushers, rows, lat pull-downs, and more.
*Please Note: The optional Proprietary Matte Black metal treatment process also hardens the steel, which can cause some additional friction with plates that have a chamfer.

Key Features of the Kadillac Bar
1
Multiple Knurled Handles
Now manufactured by Rogue Fitness, the new Kadillac Bar includes a set of (6) 1.33” diameter handles spaced at 15.3”, 22.3”, and 29.2” apart. Combined with the cambered design of the bar, this creates three different angles for hand positioning, at 10°, 12.5°, or 15°. Along with enabling more types of exercises and progressions, this variation in grip options also promotes optimal, stacked joint position and improved movement mechanics for athletes of any size or experience level.
2
Beneficial Cambered Design
The 1/4” laser-cut frame of the Kadillac Bar is cambered or angled in the same manner as the Kabuki Duffalo Bar, and similarly can help reduce stress on the shoulders, biceps, and back, while enabling scapular retraction and superior joint centration. In the form of a multi-grip bar, the camber also improves stability and opens up a greater range of motion when the athletes uses the outer handles for exercises like the bench or rows.
3
Two Sleeve Finish Options
The precision-machined sleeves of the Kadillac Bar are available in your choice of either our Signature Texture Black powdercoat finish or our premium Proprietary Matte Black finish. The PMB option utilizes a process that effectively transforms the surface of the steel rather than coating it, greatly increasing the sleeves’ long-term corrosion resistance and color endurance. Black hardware is included with the Matte Black sleeves for mounting to the frame. Please Note: The Proprietary Matte Black metal treatment process also hardens the steel, which can cause some additional friction with plates that have a chamfer.

Best investment in my lifting future!
Great buy. Knurling feels divine. Grip angles are perfect and I use all three sets for flat, incline, and decline press, hammer curl, and close grip bench. In fact I only use a flat bar for shrugs, deadlift, and landmine work now. This bar - and setting appropriate stops on my monster spotter arms, have completely alleviated my shoulder pain. Oh yeah that plus 15 min gentle band shoulder warmup / rehab, & cutting out overhead movements. I LOVE to press again and find myself looking fwd to it thanks to the Kadillac bar. Absolutely worth the money. Two things: 1) the end caps are loose and the sleeves are hollow and it RATTLES LOUDLY AND ECHOES…but I’ve grown to like this feature lol (sent Rogue a video, they said it was “within spec”); and b) order it here from rogue and not directly from kabuki…kabukis roboemails and hard press from sales reps was intolerable.

Love this bar!
I bought this bar a little while ago and it’s a great addition for my space! Love all of the different exercises I can do with it without putting my shoulder replacement in a precarious position. Quality is amazing and love the bar with the PMB sleeves! Seen people complain about the loudness of the sleeves but I think they are nitpicking with all that! Def purchasing more Kabuki x Rogue bars in the future!

Great bar, terrible sleeves
As others have said, the ribbed sleeves cause a screeching noise as you move plates on and off. The noise is bad enough, but the real frustration is that it is scraping the black corrosion resistant coating off the insides of my plates. So now I’m going to be fighting rust on my plates because of damage done by this expensive bar.
Otherwise, I love it. Tremendous improvement in terms of stress on my shoulder impingement. Much better focus on chest and triceps than I get from a standard bar. Excellent knurling. Glad I got it, but I really wish they offered this with smooth sleeves.
Two stars off may seem harsh for the sleeve problem, but a bar this expensive shouldn’t damage my other expensive equipment.

Great for a few variations
Sleeve: PMB
I bought this back in November and it has been a game changer to add some variation. So much less stress on shoulders. The new sleeve finish is tight so I don't even have to use collars. Probably not great if you are changing weight quickly but I don't need to do this often.
The tool also came with a cool bottle opener.

Game changer. No more shoulder / wrist issues
I’ve benched pressed my whole life with nagging shoulder and wrist issues. Recently, my shoulder gave out after experiencing a sharp pain that felt like I was stung by a bee. The pain was sharp and sudden and the bar dropped to my chest. Thankfully, I have a set of spotter arms because I know my issues can flare up suddenly and with no warning. I noticed the Kadillac Bar recently, and asked myself why the heck I am still putting up with these issues. I needed to do something once and for all! The bar lets me push myself without wrist or shoulder pain. Now that I have the Kadillac bar, I realize that I was always afraid of my injuries and never pushed myself on the bench press. Now I’m pressing with confidence.

Good bar with room for improvement
About 5 mos of weekly use. I like the knurling and spacing/angling of the grips. Nice solid feel. The sleeves could be improved. Maybe combination of open sleeve design toward handles or aggressive ribbing on sleeves, but it is annoyingly loud. If it were like my Ohio bar it would be perfect. I reached out to Kabuki who recommended a light oiling of the sleeves, but hard to say for sure if it improved. Not sure if I'd buy again.

Awesome. Get it.
Fantastic bar. Transformative tool. The arch is a perfect stretch for bench and rowing. Handles are comfortable and handle angles are perfect. Don't think twice.

Bar is perfect but sleeve are a burden
Bar frame is well designed and balanced. Sleeves I'm sure work well for others but I dislike them. First the ribbed sleeves irritates me like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard. The the sleeve length makes it a risk factor unless you have like 3ft of clearance to load plates. I think a shorter sleeve option should be sold separately. I ordered the Rogue narrow cambered bar with the short sleeves and that fixed all my issues. I don't even pick up the kadillac bar anymore because of difficulty of use. I hope they address the sleeve length so I can put it back in rotation someday because I love the bar
