Overview
The Rogue Velocidor is the next evolution in rack-mounted dip stations, offering unprecedented customization compared to traditional fixed-handle models. Compatible with both Rogue Monster and Monster Lite series, the Velocidor features removable handles that allow athletes to adjust not only the width but also the angle of their grip. This modularity enables 12 distinct configurations to target different muscle groups and accommodate various training styles.

Performance Benefits
Targeted Muscle Engagement: Changing the handle angle allows for specific anatomical focus. For example, a 7-degree downward angle shifts the torso horizontally, increasing pectoral activation.
Gymnastic Precision: The "Straight" (0-degree) setting mimics traditional gymnastics parallel bars, ideal for athletes focused on bodyweight strength.
Personalized Ergonomics: With three width settings, users can choose a spacing that reduces shoulder stress and aligns perfectly with their wingspan.
Ease of Adjustment: Using the included Monster Knurled Knob, handles can be reconfigured in seconds without tools.
Versatile Storage: The unit can be "flipped" into a vertical storage position on the rack using the same detent pin, or stored off-rack using the included 12" Mini Strip.
Maintenance and Care
Handle Inspection: If using the knurled handle version, regularly clean the knurling with a nylon brush and mild soap to remove chalk and skin buildup.
Frame Protection: Check the UHMW plastic channels and stainless steel frame guards for signs of wear. These components prevent metal-on-metal contact with the rack and should be kept clean of debris.
Locking Mechanism: Ensure the Monster Knurled Knob and detent pins are fully seated before each use.
Storage Maintenance: When flipping the unit into storage mode, ensure the plastic lining on the underside is properly aligned to protect the upright's powder coat.
Warranty Information
Rogue Fitness provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the structural welding and steel frame of the Velocidor. The handles, knurled knobs, detent pins, and UHMW plastic components are considered wear items and are covered against manufacturing defects but excluded from the structural lifetime guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Velocidor compatible with my non-Rogue 3x3" rack? A: While designed for Rogue racks, it may fit other 3x3" uprights with corresponding 1" or 5/8" holes. However, tolerances are strictly enforced for Rogue racks, and fitment on other brands cannot be guaranteed.
Q: Can I use the handles for other rack exercises? A: Yes, the removable handles are designed with the same mounting logic as other Rogue accessories and can potentially be used in other 1" or 5/8" holes for pulls or stretches.
Q: Does it include hardware for the storage strip? A: Yes, each Velocidor ships with a 12" Mini Strip and two 3/8" x 2-1/2" wood lag screws for mounting to wood studs.
Q: How much does the knurled handle upgrade cost? A: The knurled handle option typically carries a small additional premium (approx. $30) over the smooth textured version.
