Overview
The rogue C70 is a short version of the Ohio bar. The main difference is that the loadable sleeve length is 12.00 instead of 16.40. This makes it a great bar if you want to get a lot of CrossFitters in the same space or if your basement gym has very limited space. The length makes it impossible to rack the bar in regular racks and squat stands.
The C70 bar weighs 35lb and has a diameter of 28.5mm. It withstands 190K PSI Tensile strength. The sleeves are attached to the shaft with bushing. The available coating is Black Zinc.
This is a very specialised bar. Only consider getting it if you face this exact problem, not being able to get enough Crossfitters into one space, which is a very special challenge to have.
