The Women’s OLY Bar was designed by the Rogue team and is fully machined and assembled at our manufacturing facility in Columbus, Ohio. The 25MM steel shaft boasts a tensile strength of 215,000 PSI, and is individually tested and straightened to within 0.015” (0.38MM). For the Olympic knurl marks, we experimented with several knurling patterns before choosing the full but minimally aggressive texture that top weightlifters responded to best. An improved single-piece sleeve construction (with 12.50" of loadable length) is also standard with this model.

Like the men’s Oly Bar, the Women’s WL Bearing Bar features 10 sets of needle bearings, 5 sets per sleeve. These high-quality bearings produce a smooth, reliable spin across day-to-day use—a trait hard to find in many women’s bars on the market.

In the strength world, approval from the IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) is equivalent to a restaurant getting its Michelin stars, so we’re proud to now include the official IWF logo on the shaft of the latest Women’s OLY WL Bar, along with additional IWF branding on the endcaps.
