The Rogue 29mm Burgener/Rippetoe Bar 2.0 is a weightlifting bar designed for Olympic, power and CrossFit training. It's made from precision-engineered steel and features a bright zinc coating for protection from corrosion and wear. The bar is 29mm in diameter and is designed to spin more freely and smoothly than other bars, helping to preserve your hands and maximizing your performance. The shaft is finished with black oxide, giving it a matte finish that improves grip. The center knurl is muted and the knurling is aggressive, making it perfect for a variety of lifts. The sleeves are made using proprietary bronze bushings, allowing them to spin freely and with minimal maintenance, while the snap ring design keeps the bar securely in place. The 2.0 version has been updated with a new bushing design, creating less friction, added strength, and a smoother feel. The Rogue 29mm Burgener/Rippetoe Bar 2.0 is the perfect bar for serious weight lifters, bodybuilders and CrossFitters.
