Product Description

Rogue’s Straight Stainless Steel Lat Bars are available in two length options (20” and 40”) and can be easily attached to our Monster Lat Pulldown Machine, a rack-mounted Slinger, or other cable machines on the market.*

These fully knurled pulldown bars were designed and developed by the Rogue team and are manufactured exclusively in Columbus using the same 28.5mm barbell steel found in our Stainless Steel Ohio Bar. The included swivel tab is laser-cut from 3/8” stainless steel (with laser-cut Rogue “R” branding) and tumbled to eliminate any sharp edges. We also installed a pair of custom machined shaft collars to set the tab securely in place.

Rogue Stainless Straight Lat Bar

Rogue’s Straight Stainless Steel Lat Bars are available in two length options (20” and 40”) and can be easily attached to our Monster Lat Pulldown Machine, a rack-mounted Slinger, or other cable machines on the market.*

These fully knurled pulldown bars were designed and developed by the Rogue team and are manufactured exclusively in Columbus using the same 28.5mm barbell steel found in our Stainless Steel Ohio Bar. The included swivel tab is laser-cut from 3/8” stainless steel (with laser-cut Rogue “R” branding) and tumbled to eliminate any sharp edges. We also installed a pair of custom machined shaft collars to set the tab securely in place.

Each Lat Bar ships fully assembled and comes with a quality black carabiner for quick attachments.

Please Note: Since the bars are stainless rather than coated steel, the machining process may be visible in some areas.

Size Options:

  • 20” (6.6 LBS): This is a particularly good option for small gyms with limited space or for larger gyms that have multiple machines in close proximity. It can be used effectively for push down movements, and is also optimal for attaching to the low row portion of a lat pulldown for rows / curls.
  • 40” (12.2 LBS): With this option, the inner knurl marks (spaced at 16.53”) represent the center portion of an Olympic Bar, while the outer knurl marks (spaced at 31.88”) match the IPF spec for a power bar. Because the knurl stretches to the center of the bar, it also allows for effective close-grip push down movements.


*Important: Lat pulldown machines from different manufacturers will vary in their level of resistance when unloaded. Therefore it is important that the lat bar attachment is always supported while changing the weight to prevent it from falling and causing injury.

Happy with purchase
I was hesitant on buying this due to the less than stellar reviews. However, I bought it and am happy with it. I can see what others were saying about the friction bc mine didn’t turn as smoothly as I wanted. I took it apart and put some synthetic grease on it and it works perfectly. I would highly recommend that you do the same if you get it. The knurling is great along with the thickness.
Yes, I recommend this product

20" bar lacks stability, not smooth
The standard lar bar in stainless steel is amazing. This short stainless bar not so much. I bought it mainly for cable curls, and like other users I find that there is is a lot of resistance through metal-on-metal contact when using this bar, and it's a bit wiggly. This might be due to the narrow metal piece between the two grips, compared to other bars where the rotating connector piece is wider. I really do like the feel of stainless steel, but there are too many downsides. I'll probably switch to a more traditional chrome bar for cable curls.

Needs a 2.0 Version to fix friction issues
I ordered both the 20- and 40-inch bars a while back. Upon opening the package, the center attachment on the 20-inch bar was not screwed in. I had to find an allen wrench before I could even use it which was a little frustrating. The weight and knurling of both bars is fantastic. They look and feel great. I thought these would easily be 5 stars. But unfortunately, after using them I experienced the friction issues that some others have mentioned. The 40-inch bar spins better and feels good for pulldowns but still has a little friction on some exercises. But the 20-inch bar is not that great. Too much friction, especially on exercises like curls and tricep pushdowns. I tried adjusting the screws and spraying some silicone spray on it but nothing helped. Would love for Rogue to come out with a version 2.0 that corrects the friction issues. If that issue was fixed these would definitely be 5-star attachments.

Not 100% stainless steel
Solid, heavy and feels well made but I doubt it is 100% stainless: it already started to develop light rust looking stains where I hold it by hands. True stainless steel doesn't do this usually.

Excellent Knurling, but too much friction
I ordered the 40" and 20" bar to use with my functional trainer. The 40" bar is perfect and absolutely no friction in the middle. However, the 20" version does not rotate freely and feels like it is metal grinding on metal.

Simple and Excellent
This bar has the best knurling I have ever had on a cable attachment. It swivels beautifully and feels great in the hand. Looks great too.

Solid quality, but get the standard pulldown bar
I ordered the 40 inch version of this bar, it’s very solid and well-made. The knurling on this felt grippier than my non-rogue barbells, which speaks to Rogue’s knurling. This bar also looks amazing. I wanted to perform lat pulldowns using a straight grip and previously owned a Cap barbell brand lat pulldown attachment where I held my grip right at the point of the angle in the bar. After using this, a straight bar didn’t make that much of a difference in the feel of the pulldown and if I could go back I’d buy the regular Rogue Stainless Lat Pulldown attachment that has the angle in it. It’s only $25 more and you get the ability to have a straight or angled grip. This bar is solid for what it is, but a 5 star rating belongs to the perfect product in this category and I would consider the regular Rogue bar to be that 5 star bar over this. If you’re buying the 20” version of this straight bar, however, I would think that would be a 5 star product as it’s more versatile because of its size as opposed to the 40” (which to me is just a one trick pony).

Well made and worth the money
I bought this bar because of the knurling along the bar. It has allowed me to do back workouts with multiple grips. It is truely worth every penny.
