Product Summary
Part of our custom Athlete Series, this special edition of the Cerakote Women’s Bella Bar features exclusive colorways and graphics inspired by CrossFit legend and longtime Rogue athlete Rich Froning, Jr.. The 15KG, 190,000 PSI barbell is fully machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, and includes black composite bushings with standard Bella Bar endcaps.
Unique to the Froning Edition:
The bar’s blackout design–featuring a black cerakote shaft and black cerakote sleeves–is a no-nonsense nod to the four-time “Fittest Man on Earth.” A silver Froning “R*” logo is also centered on one side of the shaft with a silver Rogue logo on the other.
Cerakote has been a game changer in the industry; a polymer-ceramic composite coating first popularized in the gun industry for its durability in thin applications. Offering wear and corrosion resistance up to 100X that of black zinc, it’s a finish worthy of the greatest athletes in the world. The versatility of this finish also enables us to create a wider array of customized Rogue Athlete designs for the Women’s Bella Bar, including the red-and-black finish and HWPO slogan graphics of the Fraser Edition.
The steel in our Cerakote Ohio Bars 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, further ensuring a smooth finish and optimal performance.
Built to International Weightlifting Federation standards for women’s competition barbells, the 15KG Bella Bar offers a slightly condensed size from standard men’s bars without sacrificing any of the performance elements. Every bar shaft is machined in Columbus, Ohio, with carefully refined knurling for a firm but non-abrasive grip. The snap ring design and quality composite bushings in these Athlete Editions help produce an ideal combination of the consistent “whip” needed for Oly lifts and the ample rigidity required for heavy powerlifting.
