Product Description

CERAKOTE OHIO BAR - SPECIAL PINK EDITION

Like the other colorways of our new Cerakote Ohio Bar, the Pink Special Edition utilizes a unique polymer-ceramic composite coating—popularized in the gun industry for its durability in thin applications. This particular design features a pink cerakote shaft, proprietary matte black sleeves, and a black Rogue logo on the center of the bar shaft.

Fully machined and assembled in Columbus, OH, all versions of the Ohio Bar continue to represent the highest level of precision engineering, with a 190,000 PSI tensile strength shaft, dual knurl marks, quality composite bushings, and a lifetime warranty against bending.* A barbell that has always delivered multi-purpose versatility and dependable performance now also offers athletes the chance to make a statement and raise funds for a worthy cause.


*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.

CERAKOTE STRENGTH

This version of the Ohio Bar is distinct for its use of Cerakote, an advanced ceramic-based coating, originally established in the gun industry for its durability in thin applications. This unique finish can deliver superb abrasion/wear/corrosion resistance over time—100X that of standard black zinc—and it’s available here in pink with the Rogue logo branded on the center of the shaft in black.

190 KSI STEEL

The quality steel used in the Ohio Bar is manufactured in the US and has proven to be one of the best steel variants for a multi-purpose barbell. Each barbell shaft is ground and polished prior to machining which allows the bar to have a very smooth finish.

MACHINING & ASSEMBLY

Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus, Ohio, with painstaking attention to detail. The knurling has been carefully refined over the years for a firm but non-abrasive grip (there is no center knurl). We also assemble this version of the Ohio Bar with special composite bushings—a self-lubricating material often found in hi-tech aerospace equipment and military vehicles. For intense, high-rep training, these bushings dramatically minimize friction to provide a reliable spin. The final result is a bar that produces normal “whip” during Oly weightlifting with enough rigidity to hold for heavy powerlifting.

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.

Please Note: Cerakote has an excellent resistance to corrosion, but metal-to-metal contact, particular on the sleeves, can still cause wear over time. For the best long term results, some cleaning and maintenance may be required. See our Ohio Bar Care Page for more info.

*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.

Amazing feel and function
The Ohio Bar is a great all-round barbell, If you can only have one, this is the one you need. The knurling is grippy, yet not painful. The cerakote coating is going strong after use.

It’s gorgeous but the knurling is a little passive
Just got my Ohio bar, custom ordered navy cerakote with chrome sleeves. The bar is a work of art. The fit and finish is top tier, it’s almost too pretty to use. That said, i should have gotten a power bar, the knurling is just too passive for my taste. I would call it on the mild side of medium. Not Rogue’s fault, mine. Just make sure you like mild knurling.

Really Disappointed - Terrible Sleeves
I was so excited to buy a Rogue bar for my new home gym after using the cheap bars at my CF gym for 8 years. The navy bar with black sleeves is very nice looking and the bar feels great. However, I am so disappointed at how difficult it is to put plates on and take plates off. I really ruins the entire experience of using this bar. I thought maybe it was my plates, but after reading more reviews since I've received it, it sounds like I'm not the only one having this issue.

Ohio Bar Review
I got the Ohio Ceratoke bar about a month ago and i absolutely love it, great upgrade to my setup as the grip is very grippy, and the bar is so balanced. My only complaints are the width of the bar and a minor color complaint, it is a hair narrow, and I often find myself nearly racking the bar on its sleeves instead of the main body. The red that is displayed online is slightly darker than what I received, and i was expecting a blood red color, but i got a more basic red.

QC issues but bars awesome!
One of the sleeves is slightly larger in diameter whenever I put plates on it grinds the aluminum down on the inside the plate and it’s difficult to slide on but the other sleeve is great and the plates slide on fine. over all the bar is fantastic, I just expected much better QC for the price.
