Rogue MG-4CN Narrow Multi Grip Camber Bar
The new and improved Rogue MG-4CN Multi-Grip Bar now comes standard with two sets of 32mm thick handles (at 12-degree and 16-degree angles) and redesigned, lockable sleeves in two length options (9” or 15.5”). In combination with the MG-4CN’s narrow, maneuverable frame construction (5” inside width, 3.5” camber depth), customizable handle spacing, and convenient rackability, this upgraded model represents Rogue’s premier multi-grip bar system to date.
3 Key Upgrades with the New MG-4CN:

Customer feedback was the most important factor in the MG-4CN’s redesign. After the original model was released, many athletes informed us that the rotating sleeves—while helpful for training their stabilizer muscles—also limited the bar’s overall versatility. To address this, we’ve now made it easy to lock and unlock the sleeves using the included Allen Wrench. When in the locked position, the new sleeves deliver exceptional stability for traditional multi-grip bar training. Without raising the price, we also expanded the standard MG-4CN kit to include 2 sets of the extra-thick (32mm) handles most preferred by our customers; one pair angled at 12-degrees and the other at 16-degrees. That still leaves room for an optional third pair (available a la carte) for customers whose workout programs require additional handle positions or angles.
The new sleeves of the MG-4CN Multi-Grip Bar are available in your choice of a Stainless Steel or Proprietary Matte Black finish, and can still be selected with either 9” or 15.5” of loadable length. With both options, the distance between the sleeves is a standard 51.5”, making the bar rackable on any Rogue power rack, squat stand, rig, or bench.
The removable handles feature the same precision knurl pattern as our Ohio Bars, and are also available in Proprietary Matte Black or Stainless Steel, ensuring a “true” feel of the knurling. Using the included allen keys and protective nylon washers, the threaded handles can be attached to the frame of the Camber Narrow Multi-Grip Bar at 1-inch intervals, meaning that a set can be functionally spaced anywhere from a minimum of 6” to a maximum of 26” apart. This enables athletes to customize their bar for multiple movements—from close grip presses and triceps work to biomechanically optimized grips at shoulder-width and beyond. Handle reconfigurations are easy to perform and well suited to multiple athlete use, with the nylon washers helping to prevent any marring of the frame’s finish across repeated adjustments.
The 41” long frame portion of the bar is built in the USA from 1” x 2” 11-gauge steel tubing with 1/4” plates, a machined socket, and a Texture Black powder coat finish. The cambered shape with 3.5” of drop allows for a greater range of motion when using the outer handles on certain movements (such as bench or rows), and also helps to improve stability, as the bar’s center of mass–relative to hand placement–is lower. At an inside width of 5”, the frame of the MG-4CN is also several inches narrower than our first run of MG-4C Multi-Grip Bars, allowing for easier maneuverability, according to feedback we’ve received from many users.
The sleeves are assembled to the shafts by our barbell assembly team, but to save on shipping costs, we developed a unique interlocking taper design that allows for easy assembly with a single nut using the included wrench. The joint created by this interlocking taper is every bit as strong as a weld, and will hold up to whatever an athlete throws at it. Even after the nut is removed, it takes a lot of force with a mallet to free the shaft from the socket.
IMPORTANT: The MG-4CN Bar ships with the sleeve assemblies disconnected from the frame, but all required hardware and tools for assembly are provided, including a set of 5/16” allen keys + 1/2” x 2-½” button heads bolts for the handles and a 1.5” Monster Wrench for securing the sleeve to the frame.
Please Note: Due to their shorter length, the 5” long handles of the MG-4CN are NOT compatible with all bars in the MG-4 series.

Key Features of the MG-4CN Narrow Camber Multi-Grip Bar
New Lockable Sleeves
The redesigned sleeves of the MG-4CN can now be switched to a “locked” position, stopping any sleeve rotation to ensure superior stability for traditional multi-grip bar training. This lock can also be easily reversed using the included wrench, allowing a smooth sleeve rotation similar to our Ohio Bar; a good option for focused training of the stabilizer muscles. Customers can choose between two quality sleeve finish options (Stainless Steel and Proprietary Matte Black), both of which offer excellent corrosion resistance. The standard sleeve spacing on the MG-4CN also enables convenient rackability on any standard rack/rig/stand.
Please Note: The sleeve assemblies ship disconnected from the frame and can be attached using the included Monster Wrench. They can also be removed and replaced, but removal will require additional tools (such as a rubber mallet) and a means of securing the frame in place.
Narrow, Cambered Frame
The cambered 41” long frame is built in the USA from 1” x 2” 11-gauge steel tubing with 1/4” laser-cut plates and a machined socket. It has a 3.5” camber depth and an inside width of just 5”, which is nearly 3” narrower than our original MG-4C Multi-Grip Bar. According to feedback from many users, the narrow frame improves the overall maneuverability of the bar. The cambered shape of this version of the MG-4CN also allows for a greater range of motion when using the outer handles on certain movements (such as bench or rows), and can help improve stability and reduce wobbling, as the bar’s center of mass–relative to hand placement–is lower. Mounting holes for the handles are spaced 1” on center, and the frame is finished in a Texture Black powder coat.
Adjustable Knurled Handles
The MG-4CN comes standard with (1) pair of 12-degree angled handles and (1) pair of 16-degree angled handles, all of which measure an extra-thick 32mm in outside diameter and 5” in grip length, with your choice of a Stainless Steel or Proprietary Matte Black finish. With their threaded design, these handles can be positioned anywhere along the bar’s frame, using the included allen keys for attachment and nylon washers to protect the frame’s finish. Functional spacing options range from a minimum or 6” to a max of 26”. Keep in mind, the ideal biomechanical angle for an efficient, safe lift expands as the handles move further apart. Rogue recommends the following handle spacing for Angled Handles when pressing:
12-degree: 6” to 16" spacing
16-degree: 12" to 26" spacing
Additional configurations may work for other movements (ex. some athletes prefer closely spaced, angled handles for skull crushers, or an extra set of straight handles for other movements).
Interlocking Taper Design and Machined Nut
The shaft of the sleeve connects to the frame using an interlocking taper; a staple of the machine tool industry for more than a century. The conical shape of the shaft is inserted into a conical cylinder that, when tightened with the machined hex nut, creates an extremely rigid joint.
Barbell Sleeves in 2 Lengths
We’re offering the MG-4CN’s sleeves in two length options, both of which are rackable and lockable.
- 15.5” of Loadable Sleeve Space - 58 LB unloaded bar weight (frame + sleeves + 4 handles). Available with Stainless Steel or Proprietary Matte Black finish.
- 9” of Loadable Sleeve Space - 48 LB unloaded bar weight (frame + sleeves + 4 handles). Available with Stainless Steel or Proprietary Matte Black finish.
*The shaft is stainless steel in all versions, regardless of sleeve finish or length.
Customizable Neutral Grip
The MG-4CN provides a user specific neutral grip for athletes who are looking to reduce stress on the wrists and shoulders during pressing movements or target the triceps for better lockouts. Additionally, with the ability to select the angle and adjust the spacing of the handles, athletes are able to switch from a close grip (for working the triceps) to a wider grip (for targeting the pecs), all while keeping the angle of the hands in an optimal anatomic position.
