Kabuki Kadillac Bar
Cambered to the same angle as Kabuki’s Duffalo Bar, the Kadillac Bar is a specialty neutral grip / football bar that enables a full range of motion, with convenient rackability on any standard power rack (40.5” to 52.5”). The bar includes 1.33” diameter handles spaced 15.3”, 22.3”, and 29.2” apart, with 10°, 12.5°, and 15° grip angles. The variability of handle placement and angles offers countless variations in exercises and progressions, and also promotes optimal, stacked joint position and improved movement mechanics.

I have the OG Kabuki version and have enjoyed the variations it's opened up in my gym. I picked mine up used, so the value proposition might not line up if you're comparing cambered multi-grip bars head to head, but I have nothing but praise for the sticky powder coat finish, quality construction, and balance of this bar.

Great multigrip bar, probably my overall favorite, and I’ve owned nearly all of the common ones. I find the grips fit my frame well, and the arch is perfect. All that said, this bar is very expensive and I’m not sure it’s worth the additional cost over the competition.

I have the kabuki-made gen 1 bar where they used powder coating for grip instead of knurling, but I haven't had any issues with grip so I imagine the knurled version is great. The neutral grip spacing is great on pressing/rowing movements and the camber gives a great stretch at the bottom of those movements too. Storage can be an issue in smaller spaces, but the Darko anchor and the PRx safety squat bar storage plate works well.

The top tier of swiss bars. Not sure if I'm a camber guy or not, but it felt excellent. I will say there are cambered swiss bars out there that probably feel nearly identical. Not sure if the premium is worth the difference.

A very solid cambered bar with zero build quality concerns — Kabuki's construction standards hold up here as expected. The handle placement is serviceable but not exceptional, which keeps it from being a runaway recommendation. Whether it's the definitive best cambered bar is debatable, but it's comfortably in the upper tier of what's available and hard to go wrong with.

Very solid camber bar. Its handle placement is just okay. However, no issues with build quality on my bar. I'm not sure if it is the absolute best cambered bar but easily one of the best in the lot.

I had the Kabuki version and sold it in favor of the EliteFTS American Cambered Bar years ago and never looked back. The angles of the handles were just a tad off for me for whatever reason, and the EliteFTS bar fits my body better. The other problem I had was the width of the actual bar and how close the ends of the inside of the bar came to my jcups. With my Rep rack, there's a little bit less room than in, say, a Rogue rack, and I'd often hit the jcups with the end of the inside of the bar. At one point, I sliced off some UHMW from my jcup and it flew back and scratched to the right of my eye. After that, I sold the bar. It's me, not you, you know?

Nice bar and gives a good ROM. Was fairly expensive for what it is. It does swing upside down when you release it and that takes some getting used to.

We have a rogue built Cadillac bar and the build quality is great, price was good since we got it on a black Friday day, I'm not fan of the extra ROM with my goofy pec but many love this bar at our gym

Great specialty bench bar. Wish the handles were knurled rather than powder coated.
