Version 2.0 of the B&R Bar is built to the specifications of the bar’s original designers—strength training coaches Mike Burgener and Mark Rippetoe—with some enhancements from Rogue’s in-house manufacturing team. Along with custom-tailored dual knurl marks for Olympic lifting and powerlifting (including a passive center knurl), the bar now features a stronger 205,000 PSI shaft and an updated snap ring design. Quality bronze bushings produce a smooth, reliable spin, and the natural steel creates a great, old-school look and feel that few chrome/plated finishes can compete with.

Rogue B&R Bar 2.0
The Classic, Bare Steel Burgener & Rippetoe Bar, Now Made in the USA
Version 2.0 of the B&R Bar is built to the specifications of the bar’s original designers—strength training coaches Mike Burgener and Mark Rippetoe—with some enhancements from Rogue’s in-house manufacturing team. Along with custom-tailored dual knurl marks for Olympic lifting and powerlifting (including a passive center knurl), the bar now features a stronger 205,000 PSI shaft and an updated snap ring design. Quality bronze bushings produce a smooth, reliable spin, and the natural steel creates a great, old-school look and feel that few chrome/plated finishes can compete with.
The B&R 2.0 is a 20KG barbell with 16.25" of loadable sleeve length. Because of its versatility, it’s a great addition to a garage gym or a larger training facility or CrossFit box.
Please Note: Like any fine piece of machined steel, the bare steel on the B&R Bar will require some upkeep. Occasionally brushing the bar down with 3-in-1 oil or WD-40 will create a beautiful patina look. This is how bars were made for decades and it really does produce an unmatched feel.

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.

Rouge did not help.
End caps worn down and unable to identify bar weight, diameter or branding. Rouge refused to sell me new end caps or replace them under warranty. This bar takes alot of maintenance and the lettering on the end caps easily wipes of with a rag and 3 in 1 oil.

Response from Rogue Fitness:

Looks like this bar has been put to great use over the years! We can confirm this is our B&R Bar - made here in Ohio, 20KG in weight and 29MM in diameter. As this bar is bare steel, we do note that is will require some upkeep, but this produces an unmatched feel and beautiful patina.
Great Bar!
Was looking for a good bar with center knurling. I've used the Ohio Power Bar, but found the knurling a little too aggressive for my tastes. I would have paid for a coated version of the bar, but my basement is very dry, and don't anticipate issues with excessive rust.

An amazing, all around bar.
I purchased this bar to leave in my landmine and have been very happy with it. It has become my go to bar for deadlifts and any other exercise done outside of my power rack. It is the perfect compliment to my Stainless Ohio Power Bar.

BR Bar is my gold standard for general use bars
This is my go to bar. Dual rings, more of an aggressive knurl (great grip but not to the point where it hurts your hands) and that raw steel feel. Its also a little thicker coming in at 29mm. For me nothing feels more stable in your hand like that raw steel. Sure, you need to maintain it a little, but its well worth it for that great hand to bar connection. I recently purchased a 2nd backup B&R bar from the Boneyard. Still trying to figure out where the imperfection is..!

Yucky rusty
We bought this together with a whole gym set in August and it's already rusty. Understood that we should clean it with oil but it shouldn't deteriorate that quick.

Perfect, I think
The Rogue B&R 2.0 barbell is by far my favourite barbell.
The knurling is out of this world. If you like good knurling, this is it.
Aside from the knurling, I really like that this barbell is a thicker 29mm in diameter and is bare steel.

Perfect design
I ordered this bar about 7 months ago and I've been using it regularly. Sadly, it came with a few scratches from tooling at Rogue but the knurling and stuff was in great shape. I find the bar itself to be a really good design for all the standard exercises.
The pros:
knurling is sharp, but not too sharp. I remember when I got it how much harsher it felt compared to my potato bar. After using it for a while I think it's probably a good balance.
It's actually 45 pounds unlike the garbage sporting goods bars. I just assumed everything was the same weight, but my old bar was about 7 pounds lighter. This can come as a surprise.
The knurling dimensions seem right for my body features. I'm not scraping the knurling during deadlifts.
Super well packaged too. Easily survived shipping.
The cons:
Honestly I haven't found anything that I just don't like. It's a great all around bar for me.
Humidity is a pain. Everyone online says they oil it maybe once a month or so. I have to oil it after every workout during the summer or rust forms. That's my fault though for buying bare steel knowing it's super humid.
Came with some tooling marks.
