The Sidewinder Cable System is a new breed of rack mounted functional trainer. Fixing to a single 3x3” post, the Sidewinder works great with 2-post, 4-post, 6-post, and many wall-mounted racks. At the heart of the system, our patent pending Cable Retractor keeps your cable tensioned, makes height adjustments easy, and eliminates the complex cable runs seen on traditional functional trainers.
We recommend the Sidewinder for anyone with a 2-post rack or wall mounted rack. It is also a great option for anyone with a 4 or 6-post rack that values keeping their rack as open and usable as possible. If you decide to convert to the Ibex System, most components of the Sidewinder are reusable with the exception of the Load Pin.
All products are currently available on a preorder basis. The expected delivery is August/September 2024. Due to the nature of manufacturing some delays may be possible.
The Sidewinder is designed to work with any rack with a 3x3” upright. This includes 3x3” racks and 75x75mm racks, as well as 1” and 5/8” hardware.
How much height does it add to my rack?
Our Upper Arm comes up 3-3/8" from the center of the top mounting hole.
On our Rogue Monster rack, this equates to about 3/4" above the top of our rack. However, the Upper Arm can technically be mounted at any hole height on your rack.
Should I bolt down my rack?
It is always good practice to bolt down your rack. With the added loading due to the cable system, bolting down your rack is even more critical.
Does the Sidewinder work for left and right side mounts?
Yes! All parts are reversible.
Where will the Sidewinder be made?
The Sidewinder was conceived, designed, and tested in San Francisco, CA. The Sidewinder will be primarily made in China. All assemblies will be quality checked, assembled, packaged, and shipped from the San Francisco Bay Area.
