Each step hoop features a patented drop-down design that extends outward to create a secure stepping platform, improving safety and convenience. The entire assembly is coated with a durable three-stage textured black powder coat finish, which offers excellent resistance to rust, chips, and UV damage, maintaining the bars’ rugged appearance over time.
