This is a fantastic barbell with a nice knurling and impeccable finish.
This again is the exact same construction used in the rogue ohio bar.
The echo bar is rogue s answer to all the sub 200 barbell range.
After researching over 150 barbells and using nearly 85 of them we ve determined that the rogue bar 2 0 is the best multi purpose olympic barbell and the rogue ohio power bar is the best powerlifting bar for most people for 2020.
Not that import bars are terrible but some times you run into some quality control issues.
Brand new for version 2 0 of the echo bar is a fully upgraded snap ring construction battle tested to maintain optimal stability throughout any type of high intensity olympic movement.
The reason i came across this bar was it is part of a package called the deadlift package that includes 280 lbs of bumpers plus the bar for 542 and free shipping.
For most people we d suggest going with the ohio bar or rogue bar 2 0 over the echo bar due to the longer warranty and not much higher price.
Factoring in price warranty performance and availability these bars stand out amongst the rest.
There are two things that make it stand out from the others.
The rogue bar 2 0 the rogue bar 2 0 is a black zinc barbell with bright zinc sleeves.
First is that it uses composite bushings rather than cast bronze and second we have the ability to customize the look of the bar with colored bands that sit in machined grooves on the collars.
38 less than the cost of 260 lbs of rogue echo bumpers and the echo bar.
Import bars have been flooding the market causing prices to drop with the popularity of crossfit and olympic weightlifting surging.
