Frequently Asked Questions:

What is a Cerakote barbell and why choose the Red Falcon?+

Cerakote is a premium ceramic-based coating that is extremely durable and rust resistant - more resistant to oxidation than black oxide - which makes the Red Falcon ideal if you live in a humid or coastal area. It pairs that finish with a competition-grade 28 mm shaft, 10 HK needle bearings and a 200,000 PSI rating for a fast, smooth, long-lasting bar.

Is the Red Falcon good for CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting?+

Yes. With 10 HK needle bearings (5 per sleeve) for a fast spin, a good whip, dual weightlifting + powerlifting knurl marks and a 200,000 PSI rating, it's built for the snatch, clean & jerk, deadlifts, squats and bench in CrossFit boxes and Olympic weightlifting gyms.

How is the Red Falcon different from the Men's competition bar?+

Both share the same competition-grade internals - a 28 mm shaft, 10 HK needle bearings and 200,000 PSI rating. The difference is the finish: the Red Falcon uses a striking, rust-resistant Cerakote Red shaft (ideal for humid climates), while the Men's bar uses a hard-chrome finish.

Does Cerakote affect grip or durability?+

No - Cerakote is applied thin enough that the knurl still grips well, and it's highly durable and corrosion resistant, protecting the bar far better than black oxide in humid conditions.

What warranty does the Red Falcon come with?+

It comes with a lifetime warranty against bending (when used with authentic ATE plates and platform), made in India with pan-India delivery and EMI at checkout.
