The Riot MRR 75 Raw Steel Pull Up Bar is the same bar — same 32 mm diameter, same dimensions, same Riot MRR and Riot Rig compatibility — with one critical difference: no powder coat on the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, the bar is sandblasted for texture, treated with a parkerized phosphate finish for baseline rust protection. The result is a surface with more bite, better chalk adhesion, and a direct grip feel that coated bars simply can't replicate. The end caps and logos stay black painted — the bar itself is pure steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bar is for athletes who train with chalk and want maximum contact. It needs maintenance — wipe it down, oil it regularly — but if you're serious about your pulling, that's a trade-off worth making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Sold as single.

Same dimensions, same 32 mm diameter tube, same end plates, same Riot MRR compatibility — the difference is that the bar itself has no powder coat. Instead it's sandblasted to create a rougher surface texture, then treated with a parkerized (phosphate) finish and anti-rust oil before shipping. That means more friction under your hands, chalk works better, and the grip feel is noticeably more direct. The end caps are still black painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does raw steel give better grip?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powder coat adds a thin, smooth layer over the steel. On a pull up bar that reduces friction slightly — which most people never notice, but grip-focused athletes do. Raw steel with a sandblasted surface has more texture and bite. Add chalk and it becomes even more effective. If you've ever trained on a bare steel bar versus a coated one, you'll know the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it rust? What maintenance does it need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it can rust — that's the honest answer. The parkerized finish and anti-rust oil applied before shipping give it a baseline level of protection, but raw steel in a gym environment (humidity, sweat, chalk) will oxidise over time without care. The bar needs to be wiped down after use and re-oiled periodically. Many athletes use a light coat of 3-in-1 oil or WD-40, wipe it back, and keep it moving. If you keep on top of it, the bar develops a natural patina rather than heavy rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it compatible with my Riot MRR or Riot Rig?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — same mounting holes as the standard bar (2 x Ø17 mm, 200 mm centre-to-centre). It fits all Riot MRR uprights and Riot MRR Rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the whole bar raw steel, or just parts of it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar itself — the 32 mm tube — is the raw surface: sandblasted, parkerized, and oiled. The end caps and logo details are black painted. So the grip area is fully raw, and the aesthetics at the ends are still clean and finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this bar for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who prioritises grip performance over low-maintenance convenience. Powerlifters and strength athletes, gymnastic-style pull-up athletes who want every bit of bar contact they can get, and anyone who simply prefers the feel of a raw bar under their hands. If you want a set-and-forget bar with no maintenance, the standard powder coated version is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strength Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57136763502857,"sku":"RIOT-PULLUP-BAR-RAW","price":50.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6113\/1956\/files\/Shop_RIOT-PULLUP-BAR-RAW-pull-up-bar-rig-rack-strength-shop-modular-mrr-riot-75x75-raw_01.jpg?v=1782129804","url":"https:\/\/strengthshop.eu\/en-es\/products\/riot-mrr-75-straight-pull-up-bar-raw-steel","provider":"Strength Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
