FAQ this product

Q: How does the interchangeable pulley ratio work?
A: You can switch ratios without mechanical tools. Using both cables provides a 1:1 ratio (the weight felt is equal to the weight loaded), while using a single cable provides a 2:1 ratio (smoother travel, weight felt is half of the load), ideal for functional training.

Q: Is the weight stack upgradeable?
A: Yes. The B17 comes with 170 lb stacks per side, but the selector rod is designed to support additional plate loading for a total resistance of up to 260 lbs per stack.

Q: Does it fit in a standard room with 8-foot ceilings?
A: The machine height is 88.1 inches (approx. 7’4″), so it will fit comfortably under a standard 8-foot (96″) ceiling with room to spare for pull-ups.
