WHAT SETS THE CERAKOTE FINISH OHIO BAR APART:
1
Cerakote Strength + Custom Colors
This version of the Ohio Bar is distinct for its use of an advanced ceramic-based coating, originally established in the gun industry for its remarkable 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 to order in a range of exclusive colors, with the Rogue logo branded on the center of the shaft. See the menu for current color combination options.
2
Steel
This steel 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.
3
Machining & Assembly
Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus, Ohio, with painstaking attention to detail. The knurling has been carefully refined over the years, as well, for a firm but non-abrasive grip (there is no center knurl). We assemble the Ohio 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.
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.
*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.
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.

Lives up to the hype
Having previously only used cheaper bars at commercial gyms, the difference is night and day. Knurling is super grippy but doesn't feel like it's going to rip my hands up doing high volume. Stainless steel feels like it's going to last forever. The very light texture on the sleeves also helps the collars hold the weight on really securely, but still super easy to get weights on and off. Overall very happy with this purchase, and think this bar 100% lives up to the hype.

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.

Not what I expected from Rogue
Today I received my barbell in the mail and chose the Ohio bar because all of the great things I've heard about it. Was disappointed to see it arrive rusted. This is the second issue I've had with the quality control of their products.

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.

Thank you for raising this feedback to our attention. We would like to investigate more into your specific bar, and the team will be reaching out to determine if your sleeves are considered within spec, or need replaced.
Not as expected
I bought this bar for myself two years ago, when Rogue offered both stainless sleeves and shaft. It’s been inside for more than one of those years and only been in a garage for 10 months and is already starting to rust. I paid a significant premium for this bar and it makes me wonder if this thing is really as advertised.g
