Key Features & Specifications
Shaft Diameter: 25mm (Standard for women's multipurpose bars; ideal for smaller hands).
Weight: 15KG (33 lbs).
Tensile Strength: 190,000 PSI (High-grade US steel providing optimal whip and rigidity).
Shaft Finish: Blue Cerakote—a polymer-ceramic composite coating offering up to 100X the corrosion resistance of standard black zinc.
Sleeve Finish: Proprietary Matte Black—a unique surface treatment that transforms the steel for enhanced impact and oxidation resistance.
Branding: Features Katrin Davidsdottir’s "Sled Dog" logo in white on the center of the shaft, with the black Rogue logo on the opposite side.
Knurling: Dual knurl marks (IWF and IPF) with a "middle of the road" feel—firm enough for heavy pulls but non-abrasive for high-rep training.
Center Knurl: No. Ideal for high-rep cleans and front squats to prevent neck irritation.
Rotation System: Precision-machined bronze bushings for a smooth, reliable, and 2X quieter spin.
Durability Rating: F6-R (Highly resistant to fatigue; treated with patented Rogue Work Hardening).
Origin: Made in the USA.
Cerakote Finish Benefits
Extreme Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for athletes training in humid garage gym environments or non-climate-controlled facilities.
Tactile Feel: The Cerakote application is thin enough (approx. 0.001") to maintain the sharp, natural feel of the knurling.
Unique Aesthetics: The Davidsdottir Edition offers a one-of-a-kind colorway and athlete logo that reflects elite-level performance and durability.
Maintenance and Care
While Cerakote is highly durable, proper upkeep ensures the bar remains in top condition.
Regular Brushing: Use a synthetic (nylon) bristle brush to remove chalk and debris from the knurling. Warning: DO NOT use a steel brush, as it can scratch and damage the Cerakote finish.
Cleaning: Apply a light coat of 3-in-1 oil to the knurl periodically, brush it in, and wipe dry with a clean cloth to maintain the underlying steel.
Lubrication: Bronze bushings are self-lubricating, but a drop of 3-in-1 oil can be added to the sleeve-to-shaft interface if rotation begins to feel restricted.
Racking: To preserve the aesthetic, Rogue recommends using J-cups with plastic liners rather than bare steel contact.
Warranty Information
The Davidsdottir Edition Bella Bar is backed by a Construction Warranty and a Lifetime Warranty against bending.
Coverage: Covers the original purchaser against material and workmanship defects.
Exclusions: Does not cover normal finish wear or damage caused by negligence (e.g., dropping the bar on a bench, safety pins, or bare concrete).
