The Bella Bar Shafts from Rogue Fitness are a top quality, outstanding value option for athletes who need the perfect Olympic barbell for strength and powerlifting movements. Made in the USA from premium, heat-treated chrome-molybdenum steel, these barbells are highly durable and are designed to last for years of heavy lifting. The shaft measures 28.5mm in diameter, ensuring that it fits perfectly into Olympic plate sleeves and collars. Each barbell is precision engineered to have a very consistent knurling pattern, giving athletes good grip and control during their lifts. This knurling pattern is a shallower design that is not excessively aggressive. Combined with comfortable, medium-depth diamond knurling it’s the perfect blend of grip and control without being too abrasive for your hands. In addition, the Bella Bar Shafts feature precision-machined rotating sleeves. These sleeves feature bronze bushings for a smooth rotation, as well as a snap ring that locks into place to allow for a solid connection between bar and collar. The barbells are also available with black oxide coating for a protective layer against oxidation and corrosion. This coating will ensure that the barbells maintain their original finish and quality for many years to come. All in all, the Bella Barbell Shafts are an excellent option for strength and powerlifters that are looking for a durable, reliable barbell at a reasonable price point.
