Rated 5 out of 5 by AaronRygiel from Great Quality Great bar with non-aggressive knurling. Use with the competition bumper plates and have really enjoyed it so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Alexander from Great Quality Very good quality barbel. It is great Barbell to get.

Rated 5 out of 5 by F1man from Pyrros Bar - A1 I bought this about 1 month ago and it was instantly my favorite bar that I have ever used. I have used strength equipment for 40 years and have been a trainer with an advanced degree, so for me I am not easily swayed. This bar is of course more $$ but for me it is worth every dollar.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 73kilo from Legendary Barbell The Pyrros Bar is one of the best values in this price segment. IWF certified, stainless steel, and built with top quality makes this in my opinion Rogue’s best weightlifting barbell. This is now the standard competition barbell for AO and USA Nationals. The knurling is more aggressive than the EU or American WL bar, but is nowhere near other comp bars like Eleiko. I actually like it because it allows a nice grip. It will definitely cut you in high-rep wod’s though. It spins less than Rogue’s other WL bars, but it’s hardly noticeable and I feel there’s a good amount of control. If you’re serious about weightlifting, don’t want to spend $$$ on high-end comp bars, and are a fan of Pyrros Dimas (who isn’t), definitely consider this bar. There are very few in this price range that are a better buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Morgan from Glad I bought one I’ve been a garage gym rat for many years, collecting and selling all sorts of stuff, only keeping the very best stuff I actually use. I’m 50 now and have decided to pair down to just the things I really like and use: Echo Bike, all three Concept 2 pieces, a pair of stainless Rogue DB handles, and now this bar. I also bought the IWF collars, which are nice, but rarely used (only as 2.5kg plates). I’m a novice Olympic lifter and mainly use the bar for intervals with the C2 equipment, but it’s much nicer in the hand (and feel) then the 28.5 and 29mm bars I’ve owned. I will say that longer interval workouts (1 hour plus), the knurling does get a little abrasive. I think it’s perfect for what it was intended for, though. I also enjoy one hand BB snatching, and the center knurl is perfect for spacing and feel. Great bar, glad I bought one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Arn21 from Excelent barbell Received the bar 2 weeks ago, it's really a pleasure to workout with and I recommend it for all the OLY lifters. Just a con, I'm from overseas and IMO the package wasn't enought padded inside (one end was crushed but it seems the bar is ok). The Pyrros bar is top quality, the knurl is a little bit agressive as expected for an OLY bar (it will help hitting new PRs), center knurl passive. My hands are rather big, but with 28mm it's easier to hook grip compared to Ohio 28.5mm (where it doesn't feel right for me). What really is awesome with the Pyrros: the spin. The sleeves seems tightly fixed on the shaft, they don't make noise. The spin is so SMOOTH. Has it been assembled with greater precision than their others bar or is it just the diferent grease in the bearing ? Maybe what Rogue could offer is a training bar with : - a little less agressive knurl for higher repetitons workout style - center knurl "with the outer knurling spaced further apart to allow a wider stance on cleans and deadlifts without the knurling scraping the shins" or the thighs in my case.
