This bench is incredibly sturdy, has more angles than I know what to do with, and gives me the exact support I have been looking for. I love the attachable foot catch and hope more attachments come out soon. This bench feels like it was made for a commercial gym so I know it will last me as long as my other rogue products continue to. I have been using a soft bench for the last 5 years without complaint and I thought the much harder surface on the Manta Ray would bother me, but once under a heavy lift, I realized how much more comfortable and sturdy the bench feels. There is no going back now.

This is part of my first home gym set up. I've been training for years though and have worked in gyms. the materials are all high quality and the instructions were simple enough. I was able to assemble it alone with some skillful maneuvering. I will note that it is rock steady when the back is lowered fully, However, the back does wobble some in the higher seat configurations, not too much though and with the way the feet are designed I don't think that I am at risk of toppling over. the leg catch pads are comfortable. Overall, a fine product that I expect will last a LONG time.

Wow, this thing was expensive and I did read everything I could on the web and the usual YouTube channels... have to say it was worth every penny... I'm an old dude, been in the gym for decades and when COVID hit, I just bit the bullet and built out a home gym and kept pondering this bench--works great in tight spaces, yes it is heavy but the wheeled system works better than anything I have used--super easy to maneuver around the home gym--love it

Rogue is simply the best in the business, and this bench is fantastic. Love everything about it. Solid build. Easy to maneuver and roll, but then rock solid once in place. Really like the “grippy” feel of the bench material itself (I got the version based on the “Fat Pad” material)… though in fairness I’m comparing it to the CAP bench I was using before. Highly recommend this Manta Ray bench!!

Upgrading from a standard home-gym bench to the Rogue Manta Ray was a night-and-day difference. You don’t fully understand the value of a premium bench until you actually use one, and the Manta Ray really highlights that gap. Everything about it feels precise, stable, and over-engineered in the best possible way. Build Quality & Aesthetics Aesthetically, the bench looks fantastic. The lines, the angles, the UHMW-protected ladder, and the clean welds make it genuinely feel like a commercial-grade piece of equipment. Coop from GGR complained about the Rogue handle not being knurled, but its aluminum not plastic and as it has the Rogue logo its much more aestheticly pleasing the the knurled handle on the seat. I would love to see more colour options in Europe. Only black and red were available and I chose black — it looks great, but it does show every little scuff or mark, especially given how robust the powder coat is. That’s just the trade-off with any MG black equipment: it’ll mark easily, and with a premium bench you naturally want to baby it. I scuffed mine on the first day and couldn’t perfectly match the paint, but I’ve accepted it’s simply a sign of use. I wpuld love to not have paint chipped but Home gym equipment is meant to be used, not kept museum-perfect. Pad Quality The pad is another standout feature — firm, supportive, and with a grippy texture that locks you in. Because Rogue uses a performance-grade grippy vinyl rather than a smooth shiny vinyl, surface marks are normal. They’re not damage; they’re the imprinting and light scuffing that naturally happens with grippy textures. It’s the same on most competition-style pads. Functionally, it’s perfect. Function & Movement Despite being extremely solid, the bench is very easy to move. The wheels are smooth and the handle position is excellent. Once you lift it, it glides effortlessly. The "premium wheels" are that, and the small engraved logo is a nice touch! The adjustability system is top tier. The UHMW-enclosed ladder is a brilliant design — quiet, protected, and avoids the metal-on-metal clanking you get with cheaper benches. It feels premium every time you move the pad. Attachments I also bought the foot catch attachment, mainly for Nordics, and it works perfectly when turned upside down . All decline work is stable, comfortable, and the footcatch is well-built. Like most Rogue attachments, it is pricey for what it is, but the quality is undeniable. I would love to see: A removable end cap for the fpptcatch attachment receiver (since the bare opening looks a bit unfinished and inevitably gets scuffed when taking the foot catch included and out. I think its and oversight . Additional attachments in the future — a leg developer, preacher curl, or anything similar to the REP collaboration with dialed motion would be fantastic. Dialed motion lists the Manta Ray as one of the benches that will accept its leg developer , even though they are collaborating with Rep. Hopefully Rogue has seen the glamour over such a product and has it on the books. Given how high-end this bench is, it feels like a platform that deserves further expansion. Final Thoughts Overall, the Manta Ray is a true premium bench — incredibly sturdy, beautifully built, and a pleasure to use for any movement. It’s one of those upgrades that changes the entire feel of your training space. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it will get scuffed if you actually use it. But the performance, comfort, adjustability, and build quality justify every bit of it. I’m delighted with the purchase and would buy it again without hesitation.

I’ve used this in several military gyms and couldn’t wait to get one for my garage gym. Finally pulled the trigger and couldn’t be happier.

Excellent product! It's very good quality. Thank you!

It is not cheap but I love the bench. I hope to see more attachment options. I hear Dialed motion is working on a leg developer add on that looks great. Maybe Rogue will work on add on too.
