Overview
Rogue USA Aluminum Collars 2.0 - Magnetic combine the elite lockdown performance of the standard Rogue Aluminum Collars with the added convenience of integrated storage magnets. CNC-machined in the USA from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, these collars feature high-strength neodymium magnets that allow them to be "docked" directly to any steel rack upright or crossmember when not in use. This prevents the common problem of misplaced collars and keeps your training area organized and efficient.

Key Features & Specifications
Made in the USA: CNC-machined from 6061 aircraft-grade billet aluminum (with imported magnets).
Magnetic Integration: Features four high-strength neodymium N53 magnets on each face (eight per collar), ensuring a secure hold on any steel surface.
Redesigned Lever: The 2.0 nylon lock-open lever includes optimized leverage and a unique "snap flexure" for faster, one-handed opening and closing.
Internal Protection: Includes a rubberized interior lining and a new grip pad to protect both the barbell sleeve and the face of your weight plates from metal-on-metal wear.
Weight: 1 LB per pair (0.5 LB each).
Width: 1.5” (Low-profile design to maximize loadable sleeve space).
Compatibility: Fits all standard 50mm Olympic barbell sleeves (e.g., Ohio Bar, Bella Bar).
Finish: Type III Hard Anodized coating in Matte Black or Matte Red for superior abrasion and corrosion resistance.
Performance Benefits
Rapid Access & Storage: The magnetic feature eliminates "collar hunt" by keeping them at eye-level on your rack uprights between sets or workouts.
Superior Lockdown: Precision machining and high clamping force ensure plates stay flush and secure, even during high-impact Olympic drops or high-rep CrossFit® workouts.
Equipment Safety: The interior rubber lining acts as a barrier, preventing the metal collar from scratching the finish of your barbell sleeves or dulling the knurling.
Enhanced Durability: The Type III Hard Anodized finish is significantly more resilient than standard anodizing or zinc plating, maintaining a professional appearance in high-volume commercial facilities.
Maintenance and Care
Lining Care: Periodically wipe the interior rubber pads with a damp cloth. Removing chalk and dust ensures the friction grip remains at peak performance.
Magnet Check: The magnets are mechanically pressed into specially machined pockets to prevent them from becoming loose, but they should be kept clear of metallic dust to maintain maximum attraction.
Pivot Maintenance: If the lever action becomes stiff over time, a small drop of dry lubricant on the pivot pin will restore smooth operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the magnets interfere with my lifting? A: No. The magnets are recessed and intended for storage on the rack. They do not affect the clamping mechanism or the balance of the bar during use.
Q: Are these compatible with specialty bars? A: They are designed for standard 50mm (2") Olympic sleeves. If your specialty bar has standard-sized sleeves, they will fit. For bars with 1.9" sleeves (like some Axel bars), see the Rogue HG 2.0 Axle Collars.
Q: Can they be used on stainless steel racks? A: No. Magnets only adhere to ferromagnetic materials like standard carbon steel. They will not stick to 300-series stainless steel uprights.
Q: Do they damage the rack finish when docked? A: The neodymium magnets provide a strong hold, but the smooth anodized surface of the collar is designed to minimize scratching. For maximum protection, dock them gently.
