Dual 160lb Weight Stacks
The Dane 2.0 features dual 160lb weight stacks with a 1:1 pulley ratio. Both weight stacks are adjustable from 10lb - 160lbs in 10lb increments. With a the new compact weight stack design, the pulley cables reach 5.8' outside the rack and move on a 180 degree swivel, giving you plenty of room for cable work outside the rack.
Commercial Grade Squat Rack
Along with the functional trainer, The Dane 2.0 also features a commercial grade squat rack in the front. Every Dane includes a pair of low-profile spotter arms for squatting outside of the rack and a pair of extension feet for extra stability at the base of the rack while squatting.
Commercial Grade Pulley System
The Dane 2.0 now features higher-quality aluminum pulleys with a larger diameter, creating an even smoother pull compared to the Dane 1.0. This upgrade reduces friction and drag, allowing for fluid motion and better control throughout each rep. In addition to performance improvements, we’ve given the Dane 2.0 a bold new look with Warhawk Red accents on the pulleys and accessories, adding an aggressive yet sleek aesthetic to the rack.
THE DANE 2.0
The Dane 2.0 features a half rack in the front with a commercial grade functional trainer built into the rack. The combination of squat rack & functional trainer in one provides a smaller footprint (and lower price point) than two stand alone units. With a length of only 60” from front to back, The Dane 2.0 is extremely space efficient for all the functionality it brings to the table. The squat rack is sturdy, commercial grade, and includes a pair of high-grade spotter arms for performing squats outside the rack. The pulley system is also highly adjustable, allowing you to customize the angle, range of motion, and resistance for each exercise.
COMMERCIAL GRADE PULLEY SYSTEM
The Dane 2.0 features dual 160lb weight stacks with a 1:1 pulley ratio, so 100lbs feels like 100lbs.
A 1:1 pulley ratio provides the same heavy resistance while requiring half the stack size of a 2:1 system. This means the Dane 2.0 can maintain a compact 60” footprint without compromising on performance. By maximizing resistance in a smaller design, this functional trainer saves space and cost, making it a smarter investment for compact spaces.
LET'S TALK UPGRADES
One of the biggest upgrades on the Dane 2.0 is the improved top plate design, which has been reduced from 10lbs to 5lbs based on user feedback. Many lifters requested a lighter starting weight for more precise adjustments, especially for isolation exercises, rehab work, and beginner-friendly training. We've also added a dedicated hole for the selector pin when using only the top plate, making it easier and more secure to lock in your starting weight.
We’ve also re-engineered the weight stack design to be more compact, which increases cable travel outside of the rack. The Dane 1.0 allowed for 5 feet of cable movement, but the Dane 2.0 extends nearly 6 feet, giving you more freedom for full-range movements. Despite this increased range of motion, the Dane 2.0 maintains its dual 160lb weight stacks with a 1:1 pulley ratio, delivering true-to-weight resistance in a compact footprint.
The Dane 2.0 is also equipped with upgraded aluminum pulleys featuring a wider pulley channel, which minimizes friction and drag. This ensures a more direct force transfer and an overall smoother pull.
The pulley cables reach 5.8' outside the rack and operate on a 180 degree swivel, giving you plenty of room for cable work outside the rack. With a height of 92", The Dane 2.0 provides plenty of reach for high & low cable positions, like lat pull-downs and low rows.
The Dane 2.0 Functional Trainer features custom-fit rollers that allow the trolleys to glide effortlessly up and down the rack. Designed for ease of use, the trolleys are light enough to be moved with just one hand, making them incredibly user-friendly. Despite their lightweight design, these trolleys remain rock-solid during use. Once the pop pin is secure, they won’t budge.
THE RACK
Don't let the pulley system steal the show, the rack portion of The Dane 2.0 is just as enticing. Made from 11-gauge steel, The Dane 2.0 features a commercial grade squat rack with a 1,200lb weight capacity. The uprights are 3" X 3" with 1" holes.
The Dane comes with a pair of extension feet which increase the stability at the base of the rack while squatting. It also includes a pair of high-grade spotter arms for squatting outside the rack. The upgraded sandwich j-cups have a thick lining of UHMW plastic so there's never steel on steel contact with your barbell.
Both the inside and the outside of each upright is sprayed with a thorough layer of high-quality powder-coat, making it extremely rust resistant, especially in more humid climates.

THE DREAM SQUAT RACK FOR EVERY HOME GYM
30 Workouts you can do with the Dane 2.0
The weight stacks weigh 160lbs each, so you get 320lbs of total resistance. Both weight stacks are adjustable from 10lb - 160lbs in 10lb increments.
A 1:1 pulley ratio means the weight you select is the actual weight you feel when lifting or pulling.
If you’re doing a lat pulldown and select 100lbs, you will feel exactly 100lbs of resistance. Some functional trainers have a 2:1 ratio, meaning selecting 100lbs would actually feel like 50lbs because the pulley system reduces the load.
A 1:1 ratio is great for strength training because it provides a more realistic resistance, similar to free weights.
No, you do not need to bolt down the Dane 2.0. The weight stacks and extension feet provide rock solid stability, even when performing movements like kipping pull-ups or muscle ups.
Yes, you can use most other rack attachments that are designed for 3" X 3" uprights with 1" holes. The Dane 2.0 is also compatible with most other handle attachments on the market.

This review reflects my experience using the Dane 2.0 for 3 weeks. So far, it's been a great purchase. Set-up was straightforward using the video Fringe provided and my shipment included all the required pieces. The rack is made of high quality steel and very stable once set up. The pulleys pull smoothly and I have not had any issues with cable twisting. The trolleys feel solidly built, but are still easy to adjust. The attachments that came with it, especially the spotter arms, are similarly high-quality and were a great bonus. It also has a decent amount of potential for storage of accessories with the cross bar in the back.
Overall, the Dane 2.0 has been a very worthwhile addition to my home gym and I'm impressed with the rack functionality, both for cable work and barbell lifts.

So far, the quality seems really good. My workouts have been solid. I haven't had any issues with the cable travel or stack weight; the cable stack is actually much heavier than I expected at 160, and I think it will actually be fine for both rows and pulldowns. There were a few annoying assembly things that I wish were clearer, although the video was pretty good. The cables came pre attached to the end pieces with was slightly annoying because they won't fit through the wheels unless you deconstruct them. Also, the cable wheels come loose, and I think it would be nice if it came with some info about how tight to tighten them. I also felt that there was much more room for pullups if you put the handles facing outward instead of inward towards the rack, it would have been nice if they had mentioned that they could be on either side. Lastly just some basic maintenance info on the instructions would be good, since it comes with some lube, I'm assuming for the cable uprights. Overall, it showed up in much better shape than my titan bench and with better instructions and I would definitely recommend it.

The Dane 2.0 came packaged very well and included everything. The video on assembly was very easy to follow, and everything is working even better than expected. Everything was also delivered in a timely manner. Very pleased!

The Dane 2.0 full loaded is a great complete home gym set up that can fit in most rooms with its medium sized foot print. I like that materials used on the Dane 2.0 are sturdy and well put together with no issues of loose and weak points in the welds. It took about 2 weeks to ship and tracking was provided all the way to my driveway. Beware of the total weight of this set up is around 1100lbs so make sure you are able to move the pallet or unload off the pallet to your home. The Fringe Sport team was fairly responsible and quick to answer and questions I needed and replacement on a smith machine grabber that was missing some internal components. I recommend the Dane 2.0 fully loaded to anyone who is looking to add a home gym rack to their garage gym or home.

I was blown away by how quick this machine arrived to my doorstep. I ordered it on Sunday evening and it was at my house by Wednesday evening. Less than 72 hours later. Packaging was top-notch. No damage whatsoever to the product. Every bit of the Dane 2.0 was top-notch quality. I put it together by myself in about three hours. Fringe’s instructional videos were a huge help and streamline the process. I was very impressed by this company. For sure will be doing business with them again.

Only been a few weeks but man I love this rig! I can do just about everything! Have not installed the gibbon arms yet but intend to do that soon. 5 star set up!
D
Really sturdy and incredibly smooth—the cable system feels buttery. The Smith machine is solid, and it’s given me the confidence to squat heavier weights safely. 💪 Highly recommended Dane 2.0 Fully Loaded
A
Came quickly and assembled in one afternoon/evening. I ordered The Drew attachment, the pulldown seat, and the row foot platform. This thing is dialed in. Also get the weight horns for extra weight and some 2.5 and 5 adder weights for the stacks.
D
Really well built, smooth action on the cables. Wish I had bought one years ago very pleased would recommend.
G
Love the all in one rack. I sold my commercial equipment in order to gain some space back in my garage. After 3 weeks I’m not disappointed or missing my old equipment!
P
Phenomenal half rack. Built like a tank. Gibbons arms are fantastic. Build quality is A+++! Would absolutely buy again.
A
The only thing is that the Gibbon arms are not straight they are misaligned

I saw someone mention this online and asked chatgpt lol

I would like to see a instructional video of all the Exercises on the Half Rack! in a usable Daliy Form.
Z
Its very nice, the cables can cause some issues, I installed some extra guides for the cables to prevent scraping and it works great now.
E
10/10. Smooth cables, looks great, and is super efficient with space. Would highly recommend!
A
Best value all around. Slight drawback is cable twisting
J
My header was warped and cords are freyed
B
Only used this for a little bit, but so far so good.I think the market for this type of product is getting crowded, and there were value-play competitors I considered that would have cost less, or would have tossed in more attachments at the same price. That said, when I use this thing it feels as good as what I gave up by forgoing a gym membership. And I dont know that the premium I could have paid for certain high-tier competitors, like REP, would have bought much more quality. Overall, its a big purchase that I am at peace with and hoping to enjoy for many years.
J
Great experience overall and love the open ecosystem they encourage. Fully plan to eventually build out the 8 post rack they showed on YouTube.
