Product Summary
The 25MM Women’s Operator Bar is made from 190,000 PSI tensile strength steel and finished in an ultra-durable Cerakote coating–available in any of (4) military-inspired colorways. Fully machined and assembled in Columbus, Ohio, this versatile 15KG barbell also includes dual knurl marks (for Olympic and powerlifting), bronze bushings, and Rogue branding right on the center of the shaft.
Along with the Operator Bar’s classic Olive Drab color option, Rogue is now offering additional Cerakote color finishes including Desert Tan, Tek Grey Camo, and Tiger Stripe Woodland Camo. These exclusive colorways have rarely ever been seen on a barbell before, and the new finish method promises one of the best oxidation rates of any bar coating yet devised.
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 designs, including the four military-inspired colorways of the Operator Bar: Olive Drab, Desert Tan, Tek Grey Camo, and Tiger Stripe Woodland Camo.
The steel in our Cerakote Operator 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.
Like its cousin the Bella Bar, the 15KG Women’s Operator Bar is built to International Weightlifting Federation standards for women’s competition barbells, offering 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 bronze in these Cerakote Women’s Editions help produce an ideal combination of the consistent “whip” needed for Oly lifts and the ample rigidity required for heavy powerlifting.
