The Ohio Bar E-Coat

The latest variation of our flagship Rogue Ohio Bar introduces a new, Black E-Coat shaft finish. This electrically applied coating was first popularized in the auto industry for its reliable coverage, adhesion, and corrosion resistance, and it’s gained even wider favor for its environmental benefits, producing little to no HAPS (Hazardous Air Pollutants) or VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

Like all Ohio Bars, the E-Coat model is fully machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio. It includes a 190,000 PSI tensile strength shaft, dual knurl marks (no center knurl), and bright zinc sleeves. The hybrid knurling pattern offers a firm but comfortable grip on both Powerlifts and Oly lifts, while a snap-ring design, quality U.S. steel, and bronze bushings help produce the perfect balance of rigidity and natural whip.

KEY FEATURES OF THIS OHIO BAR:

ROGUE MACHINING AND ASSEMBLY
1

ROGUE MACHINING AND ASSEMBLY

Made with pride in Columbus, Ohio, the 20 KG Ohio Bar has been put to use for years in home gyms; high school, collegiate and pro training programs; CrossFit gyms; military bases . . . anywhere athletes are concerned with quality. Each 190,000 PSI tensile strength steel shaft is ground and polished prior to machining to ensure a better finish, and the dual knurl marks are carefully refined for a firm but non-abrasive grip. The snap ring design, bronze bushings, and quality U.S. steel help produce an ideal combination of the consistent “whip” needed for Oly lifts and the ample rigidity required for heavy powerlifting.

E-COAT FINISH
2

E-COAT FINISH

The black electrocoat, or E-Coat shaft finish on this Ohio Bar is an electrically-applied paint coating noted for its excellent corrosion resistance, cost efficiency, and green benefits. It has been widely adopted by leading manufacturers for the finishing of auto parts, metal stampings, fasteners, lawn/garden & agricultural equipment, military equipment, and much more. E-Coat finishes stand up to water, sunlight, and household chemicals, and they are compliant with the environmental safety standards of the RoHS, OSHA and EPA.

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.

Whichever coating you choose, Rogue has provided some helpful tips for long term Bar Care & Maintenance.

E-Coat Regret
Recently bought the Ohio bar and love almost everything about it except the e-coat finish. Basically automotive pain t and it makes the bar very slippery even on the Knurling. I've been lifting avidly for over 20 years and today was the first time I had my grip slip and rotate on a bench press on the knurling. Wish I would have opted for the black oxide finish. Love Rogue as a company, shipping was fast, packing excellent, overall bar engineering is great but hard to rate this any higher given the issues with the slippery finish on the entire bar (except collars which are chrome)

for 90% of us...this is the one!
If you are a true "powerlifter" and load 500+ lbs on a bar then get the Ohio Power Bar, otherwise this is the way to go! The knurling is EXACTLY what you want and offers plenty of grip even without chalk. Love that there is no center knurling and still grips just fine for back squats. I went with the black e-coat. You wont regret it. It has replaced my Ohio Power bar for good.

Perfect knurling
I bought this to replace a cheap Olympic Bar. Difference is night and day. It's perfect for benchpress and deadlifts. Love the feel of it. Absolute quality. Don't hesitate, just buy it. Great service and prompt delivery from Rogue Australia. Cheers

EXCELLENT BAR
I got tired of my old chrome bar peeling (actually slicing my leg doing deadlifts). GREAT upgrade and worth every nickel.

So far so good...
I build a power rack/ninja obstacle all together - came out amazing! I still need to add salmon ladder and ninja pegboard. Next was the equipment's. After a month of researching...i could have went for a cheaper barbell. However I went for the reliability and a true built! Four stars for now since I want to know the durability of the barbell. Stay tune for my next review with photos.
