The use of needle bearings gives this lightweight, mini tech bar a uniquely smooth, consistent spin—ideal for helping a kid develop good habits and form. Traditional children’s barbells have rarely if ever utilized this type of sleeve construction.

We have included three distinct sets of knurl marks to guide an athlete's transition from the tech bar to a standard Oly bar:

• Outer Knurl Marks: Match the standard knurl markings compliant with the International Weightlifting Federation.
• Second Knurl Marks: Match the standard knurl markings compliant with the International Powerlifting Federation.
• Inner Knurl Marks: Correspond to the clear space (non-knurled) found on an Olympic weightlifting bar.

Each T-2.5KG Technique Bar is produced in Columbus, Ohio, and held to the same high standards as any full-size adult barbell in our fleet. The precision-built aluminum shaft measures 22.2MM in diameter and 51.00" in length, while the bearing sleeves have a loadable length of 4.125". Our initial run of the T-2.5KG will be bare aluminum, but we’re also producing a line of these bars with anodized sleeves in other colors.

Rogue has developed a variety of high quality equipment and gear for young / beginner athletes. The T-2.5KG Tech Bar is a logical complement, for example, to the new Rogue KS-1 Kids Squat Stand. We also offer a broad range of exclusive Rogue youth athletic apparel.

The 1.96” sleeve diameter makes the T-2.5KG Tech Bar fully compatible with most standard size bumper plates, with a max load capacity topping out at 40LB.
