Product Summary
Rogue’s first-ever Curl Bar is fully machined and assembled in the USA and adapts many of the same properties from our flagship Rogue Ohio Bar–including bronze bushings, a snap ring design, and our trademark Ohio knurl pattern. Many athletes can benefit from this type of specialty camber bar, as the bends in the shaft help limit stress on the wrists and reduce common injury risks. Lifters can also employ a narrow grip with the Rogue Curl Bar for performing tricep extensions and close grip curls.
The first run of the Curl Bar includes a unique E-coat finish with bright zinc sleeves. The 1.96″ diameter sleeves are compatible with most standard Olympic plates, but the 31.50″ space between the sleeves means that this bar is NOT designed to be rackable.

Summary
The Rogue Curl Bar is an excellent EZ curl bar, albeit at a premium price for such a bar. In our experience and review with the bar, we appreciate the depth of the knurling, the bronze bushings, and the overall quality of the bar. We wouldn't recommend it for most home gym owners as there are many cheaper options on Amazon, but if you curl often or just like nice things, you'll appreciate the level of quality on the Rogue Curl Bar.
