ATX® Warrior Bench 2.0

The New Generation of ATX® Benches are making its way to Australia! The ATX-MBX-750-II will be the third generation of the ATX Warrior Flat/Incline Bench. It has been a few years since ATX® have refreshed their adjustable bench range.
To put it into perspective, the Mark 1 has been released all the way back in 2012, the Mark 2 in 2017 and the Mark 3 will make its way to Australia in 2024.

The Mark 2 ATX® Warrior Bench has been a fan favourite ever since it has been released. It featured a pin-free sabertooth locking system which allowed the user to change the angle of the seat and the bench in a second. An ironclad construction which boasted 500 kgs safe working load. Anti-Slip rubber feet and a set of wheels with a grip at the front, making it easy to move this rather cumbersome bench.

After almost 7 years on the market, it was certainly due for a refresh. But this time the upgrades are far more extreme as it seems like the German Engineers tried to show off their state-of-the-art machinery with vastly improved features.

Key Differences between Mark 2 and Mark 3

1. Laser-Cut Precision: The seat and backrest pad now boast degree markings precision-cut by laser, granting users the ability to fine-tune their positioning with scientific accuracy, ensuring ergonomically optimized angles for a full spectrum of exercises.
2. Reinforced Seat Support: Enhanced with a dual bracket system engineered from high-tensile steel, the seat’s foundation is designed to withstand and distribute weight more effectively, offering unparalleled stability even under extreme loads.
3. Thicker Steel Sabertooth Locking: The already robust sabertooth locking mechanism has been further thickened, providing a more secure and durable latch for the backrest, capable of withstanding repetitive adjustments and heavy use without compromise.
4. Nylon-Sleeved Bolts: These specialized bolts are encased in a high-grade nylon sleeve, designed to absorb noise and vibration, ensuring a quiet workout environment and reducing metal-on-metal wear, which preserves the integrity and appearance of the bench.
