REP Pegasus – My new favorite rack attachment in 2025

I’ve been using the VOLTRA Is since 2023 on my rack. They were pretty awesome and continue to get better. But a huge downside of them compared to a traditional cable machine, is that they don’t have the normal “accessories” like a seat and something to hold you in place. Enter, the REP Pegasus.

The REP Pegasus was at the top of my list for new rack attachments because of a number of features, and I think .. I hope… It’ll be the perfect compliment for the VOLTRA Is.

The TBD is now on the Review Pipeline.

Background

I recently upgraded my rack to the IronBull Strength Frankenstein Rack, and wanted to deck it out in the best rack attachments I could find. Anything that wasn’t quite working for me 100% with my old rack, was going to get a makeover for the new rack.

The VOLTRA Is are awesome, but sitting on a bench wasn’t quite cutting it. Lat pulldowns started to turn into a situation where we had to try and hold ourselves down, experimenting with band pegs, seat belts, and other contraptions. Nothing quite worked.

The Pegasus, which has been reviewed by a number of people for use on REPs Adonis and other cable driven rack systems, appears to tick a lot of boxes for my use with the VOLTRAs. And that will be the main focus of this review. Is the REP Pegasus the perfect accessory for the Beyond Power VOLTRA I?

I’ll also dig into the other accessory movements you can do with it, as this thing does more than what meats the eye.

REP Pegasus FAQ

I’ll build this out as questions come in.

REP Pegasus Shipping & Assembly

The REP Pegasus was shipped unbelievably well. After receiving the Pegasus and Nighthawk from REP I have become spoiled with great packaging, instructions, and easy assembly processes. Once again, this went so quickly I forgot to grab my camera before it was already done. A+ job here, especially for something that COULD get really complicated with the number of adjustments, pins, and more.

REP Pegasus Overview

Out of the box the REP Pegasus is an adjustable lat seat, with rollers, that can attach to your rack. But the finer details, something that REP has gotten better and better at over the years, is where this thing separated itself from the rest of the competition.

The REP Pegasus comes in two versions, one for their 4000 line and one for their 5000 line. Meaning 3×3 racks, one with 5/8″ hardware and the other with 1″ hardware. From what I can tell, they aren’t any different other than that. And with a few of the features I note below, they should be compatible with any 3×3 rack.

Lat Seat

The lat seat is the obvious reason to first look at the REP Pegasus. If you don’t have a cable machine of some kind that needs a seat, everything else in this write up can be done for cheaper. The lat seat gives us a few wins out the gate when paired to the VOLTRAs. We get somewhere to sit, and we get the leg rollers that hold us in place.

The pad is similar to REPs benches, with the grippy vinyl, injection molded foam, REP lettering and overall extremely high quality pad. This means we have a comfortable but firm seat, that is likely to last a LONG time.

The REP Pegasus rollers are the same design, grippy vinyl, injection molded foam, and some really clean end caps. The rollers adjust up and down a total of 6 inches of length. So my thicc thighs and my daughters twigs both fit snuggly in the seat.

The seat adjusts as well in a number of ways. The height, the angle, and the distance from the rack. These are important for the lat function mostly because it gives us the ability to accommodate different sized athletes. Again, my thighs are a solid foot and a half long, and my daughters are close to half a foot. If we both sat on the same pad with the same distance from the rack, I would either be eating the rack or shed be in no mans land.

Tension Post

Because some racks are 3×3 and others are TRUE 3×3, racks can be a little finicky with attachments. For something that is supporting your bodyweight, and needs to hold you locked in tight, the last thing you want is some shimmy and shake. REP included a tension adjustment to accommodate the metric and imperial 3×3 racks, which is a fantastic quality of life addition.

Mag Pin

The REP Pegasus comes with a Magnetic Pin included for attaching securely to your rack. Most rack attachments require you provide your own, so this is already a win on its own. But where REP went the extra mile, is when they included a storage spot for the mag pin in the Pegasus itself.

Since a lot of people will be placing the Pegasus on their rack for use, then taking it off and storing somewhere, being able to keep the mag pin with the unit is a nice touch. It also makes the set up smooth, as you don’t have to hold the pin in one hand, get the Pegasus on the rack with the other, then switch hands to put the pin in place.

This shows me that REP actually used this themselves before rolling it out. A lot of equipment is designed by a team of, let’s call them, non-lifters. Designers and engineers that design something pretty and functional, but often lacking that extra user experience piece that comes from being someone that truly understands the home gym experience. REP nailed it here.

But wait, there’s more

This is where we step away from the lat seat, and take a look at what the REP Pegasus does in the “extra” category. I think if it didn’t do this stuff, it might still be the best designed lat seat on the market specs wise. But these pieces let you skip a few other rack attachment purchases which is HUGE! This saves you cash and storage space.

Detachable Rollers

The rollers on the REP Pegasus detach from the unit in two ways. First is that roller adjustment post can come out. I’ve found this helpful for storage as it makes the unit considerably smaller, and doesn’t add any appreciable time to the set up.

Second, is if we take this one step further, the rollers actually spin off and detach from the adjustment post. This gives you two roller pads, that can be inserted into your rack and screwed back together. This gives you a roller pad to do split squats, hip thrusts, and other various exercises. Keep in mind that some rack rollers are MUCH longer than these. So YMMV for the amount of exercises you can do here.

Adjustable Seat Pad… again

Remember that adjustable seat pad? It does more. Because it can adjust the angle and come further out from the rack, we can use it like a seal row pad on a rack. This means we can do prone DB rows, rear delt raises, even use it much like an adjustable bench for a number of movements.

One thing that might be missing

The VOLTRA could use a low row foot plate. Something where you sit on a bench, get a good stretch, and hold yourself in place. You COULD do this with the Pegasus out the gate, but you’d be putting your feet on the seat which probably isn’t ideal. For one, it isn’t wide enough. And two, I don’t typically like to take the chance of shoes destroying the vinyl.

I might tinker with a DIY fabrication here to make this work. Because I’d love to avoid buying another rack attachment that only does one thing.

What I’m Looking For In The REP Pegasus

As I stated, my main focus was how this works with the VOLTRA I’s for lat pulldowns. This needs to have me giggling like a school girl every time I set it up. Thinking back to when I had to mcguyvire a solution on my bench to keep myself in position.

It needs to hold me, my wife, my daughter, and her teammates down through its easy adjustments. It needs to store away well, set up easily, and not have me questioning whether I should use it today or not.

The extras are extras, but if they are going to make a dent in the reason why I bought this, they still need to work. So we’ll see how often I reach for this for split squats versus my Booty Sprout, Hyper Pro, or any other option.

And I want to see if the adjustable pad is something we actually use in our space, or if it’s just kind of a gimmick. One of those things home gym peeps buy because they can, but never actually use because you have an adjustable bench.

Other Options On The Market

There are a lot of potential other options here depending on what you are looking to accomplish.

DARKO has the Thresher Pad, which can be added to a safety spotter arm, and used as a seat. This takes up minimal space, uses what you already have, but doesn’t have the same lock down features that the Pegasus does.

Rogue offers a similar option to the Pegasus, at basically the same price point. They also offer a low row footplate option. So keep this one on your radar.

There are a number of other companies that offer SOME kind of seat for a rack. But not many offer the same perks as the Pegasus. It just depends if those are worth it for you. And just about every company offers a set of rack rollers, so I’m not even going to dig into that here.

I walked through the Pegasus during my IronBull Strength Frankenstein Rack video, and my plan is to do a full written review here for the site. If I REALLY like it and feel like I can bring some light to the world, I might do a video too over on YouTube.

If it checks the right boxes, it’ll end up in my Best Rack Attachments list as well.
