Titan Fitness has come out with their most heavy-duty squat rack yet.
The Titan Fitness X-2 Power Rack may only have 2×2 uprights, but thanks to the thickness of the steel being 9 gauge compared to the traditional 11 gauge racks, the Titan X-2 Power rack can hold over 3,000 lbs making it one of the strongest rated racks on the market.
We reviewed the Titan T-3 in the past and have given great praise for being very similar to the Rogue R-3 at a much lower price.
The Titan X-2 features familiar features of many racks you’ve come to love including:
- J-Cups (left and right-handed, one of our biggest complaints from their previous offerings.)
- Fat and Skinny Pull-up Bar
- 4 plate holders included
- 4 band pegs
- Westside hole spacing through the bench area
- Side hole spacing for additional accessory points.
The Titan X-2 also comes in at a price point that blows many of its competitors out of the water. Typically, we suggest staying away from 2×2 racks, however, at this gauge steel, it’s actually stronger than many of the 2×3 and 3×3 racks currently on the market. That said, due to the thinner posts, there may be a bit more sway, although Titan has beefed up all of their connection points at the pull-up bar and foot plates.
If you’re looking for a squat rack that can take just about anything you can throw at it, at a price that can’t be beaten, then this is an excellent option for a rack.
We continue to be impressed by Titan Fitness and are excited to review their upcoming offerings in more detail.
