Rogue T-2.5KG Technique Bar
More than ever before, young athletes are honing their weightlifting skills well before they reach a high school weight room. For this reason, Rogue felt it was high time for a world class, lightweight kids barbell—designed to help beginners become competitors. The T-2.5KG Technique Bar is made in the USA and includes a single needle bearing per sleeve—making it one of the highest quality children’s bars ever constructed.
A great item to pair with our Rogue KS-1 Kids Squat Stand, the 51” T-2.5KG Tech Bar features a 22.2MM diameter aluminum shaft with a loadable sleeve length of 4.125". The maximum load capacity is 40LB, and the 1.96” sleeve diameter makes the bar fully compatible with most standard size bumper plates. We have also included three distinct sets of knurl marks to guide an athlete's transition from the tech bar to a standard oly bar:
Note: Raw selection at checkout includes bare aluminum shaft and bare aluminum sleeves.
Warning: This 2.5KG Technique Bar is intended for technique-based work and is not designed for loads in excess of 40LB/18KG. The 2.5KG Technique Bar should not be dropped when loaded.

Needle Bearings
The use of needle bearings gives this lightweight, mini tech bar a uniquely smooth, consistent spin—ideal for helping a kid develop good habits and form. Traditional children’s barbells have rarely if ever utilized this type of sleeve construction.
Three Sets of Knurl Marks
We have included three distinct sets of knurl marks to guide an athlete's transition from the tech bar to a standard Oly bar:
- Outer Knurl Marks: Match the standard knurl markings compliant with the International Weightlifting Federation.
- Second Knurl Marks: Match the standard knurl markings compliant with the International Powerlifting Federation.
- Inner Knurl Marks: Correspond to the clear space (non-knurled) found on an Olympic weightlifting bar.
Quality Rogue Construction
Each T-2.5KG Technique Bar is produced in Columbus, Ohio, and held to the same high standards as any full-size adult barbell in our fleet. The precision-built aluminum shaft measures 22.2MM in diameter and 51" in length, while the bearing sleeves have a loadable length of 4.125". Our initial run of the T-2.5KG will be bare aluminum, but we’re also producing a line of these bars with anodized sleeves in other colors.
Pairs with Other Rogue Beginner’s Products
Rogue has developed a variety of high quality equipment and gear for young / beginner athletes. The T-2.5KG Tech Bar is a logical complement, for example, to the new Rogue KS-1 Kids Squat Stand. We also offer a broad range of exclusive Rogue youth athletic apparel.
Compatible with Most Standard Bumper Plates
The 1.96” sleeve diameter makes the T-2.5KG Tech Bar fully compatible with most standard size bumper plates, with a max load capacity topping out at 40LB.
F SCALE™
The F Scale™ is a durability scale for barbells based on functional testing at stresses similar to what barbells experience when being dropped from overhead. Bars that have been treated with Rogue Work Hardening (RWH™) are designated by having an R in their F Rating™. For more information on F Scale™ click here.
OXIDATION RATE
The resistance of a barbell to oxidation depends on the type of steel and the coating. Barbells at the lower end of the spectrum will require more care and maintenance to preserve their appearance than barbells at the upper end of the spectrum.
