Product Description

Developed from the same uncompromising design philosophy as the Echo cardio line, the Rogue Air Rhino introduces a new element in resistance training. Originally conceived in 2018, this idea evolved through multiple concepts, ultimately resulting in this final design based on the Rogue Rhino Belt Squat that utilizes a flywheel similar to the Rogue Echo Rower and Rogue Echo SKI. Anchored to a heavy duty steel and aluminum platform, the Air Rhino is a user powered engine providing velocity dependent resistance that scales with your effort. The harder you pull, the more it fights back. The Air Rhino supports a wide range of movements, to include, belt squats, deadlifts, seated rows, upright rows, curls, presses and more.

Rogue AIR Rhino

AIR RESISTANCE STRENGTH TRAINING

Developed from the same uncompromising design philosophy as the Echo cardio line, the Rogue Air Rhino introduces a new element in resistance training. Originally conceived in 2018, this idea evolved through multiple concepts, ultimately resulting in this final design based on the Rogue Rhino Belt Squat that utilizes a flywheel similar to the Rogue Echo Rower and Rogue Echo SKI. Anchored to a heavy duty steel and aluminum platform, the Air Rhino is a user powered engine providing velocity dependent resistance that scales with your effort. The harder you pull, the more it fights back. The Air Rhino supports a wide range of movements, to include, belt squats, deadlifts, seated rows, upright rows, curls, presses and more. 

Built for Power, Speed, and Recovery

The Air Rhino features a precision-engineered, low-inertia flywheel designed for high-force output. Unlike traditional flywheels that carry speed between reps, it slows significantly after each pull to eliminate momentum and emphasize raw force production. This shifts the focus from cardiovascular rhythm to a dedicated strength tool built for maximum explosive intent, while still remaining accessible for applications ranging from clinical rehabilitation to high-intensity strength training. Resistance is further refined through a continuous damper with a stepless sliding scale, offering precise adjustability. Combined with a concentric-only resistance system, the Air Rhino is also ideal for high-frequency training, rehab, and speed work, minimizing muscle damage and supporting faster recovery between sessions.

What's Included

The Patent Pending Contoured Squat Belt

Heavy loading should not mean discomfort. The Air Rhino includes a re-engineered patent pending contour belt designed to solve the pinch common in traditional belt squats. Featuring a specialized arch that clears the thighs at the bottom of the movement, it eliminates digging during deep repetitions and distributes massive loads evenly across the hips. With multiple attachment points, you can customize the pull angle for any athlete’s stance or size.

Loading
Engaging Rhino Mode turns your next reps into a true strength-focused workout. This patent pending system uses magnetic resistance to create a smooth but powerful drag on the flywheel, simulating the feel of moving heavy weight without the need for physical contact between parts. As you pull harder and move faster, the resistance increases, allowing the machine to reach up to 1,200 pounds of peak output. Rhino Mode pushes your explosiveness by matching your effort with strong, controlled resistance, delivering the feel of heavy lifting with a smoother, safer training experience.

Built for Power, Speed, and Recovery

The Rogue Air Rhino uses a dynamic flywheel resistance system that responds directly to your effort. The harder and faster you pull, the greater the resistance, creating an experience that rewards explosive intent while reducing recovery time between training sessions.

Concentric-Only Resistance

The Air Rhino applies resistance only during the lifting phase of each repetition. Once you finish the pull, the resistance disappears, allowing you to return to the starting position without controlling a heavy load.

  • Train Safer – Without an eccentric load, there is no heavy weight to catch or lower under fatigue. If you reach failure, simply release the handle and the resistance stops immediately.
  • Develop Explosive Power – With no stretch reflex to rely on, every repetition demands maximum intent from the start, reinforcing rapid force production.
  • Recover Faster – Removing the eccentric phase significantly reduces muscle soreness, allowing for more frequent high-intensity training.
  • Target Sticking Points – Start from virtually any position in the range of motion to isolate weak points without the need for spotter arms, pins, or additional equipment.


Dynamic, Speed-Dependent Resistance

Resistance automatically adjusts to your output. Pull harder, and the Air Rhino pushes back with more resistance. Every repetition adapts to your current strength and effort, making the machine equally effective for explosive power work, heavy strength training, conditioning, and injury rehabilitation.

Quick Release Engagement Lever

Standard belt squats often force athletes to start from a compromised, deep squat position. The Air Rhino solves this with the quick release engagement lever that allows you to pull the cable to your desired height with minimal resistance, enabling you to secure your belt or attachments while standing upright. Once you are locked in, simply flip the lever and begin your set. Combined with our concentric only design, this removes unnecessary setup time and lets you target specific sticking points with greater precision.

The Patent Pending Contoured Squat Belt

Heavy loading should not mean discomfort. The Air Rhino includes a re-engineered patent pending contour belt designed to solve the pinch common in traditional belt squats. Featuring a specialized arch that clears the thighs at the bottom of the movement, it eliminates digging during deep repetitions and distributes massive loads evenly across the hips. With multiple attachment points, you can customize the pull angle for any athlete’s stance or size.

Built to Move

Despite its industrial grade build, the Air Rhino remains mobile. The tilt and go transport system features ergonomic front pocket handles and large diameter rear turf tires. These oversized wheels glide over virtually any surface without snagging, allowing a single person to reposition the unit in seconds. Integrated foot placement indicators and telescoping stability handles ensure that once the machine is in place, you can lock in your stance and start training immediately.

LCD Console with Bluetooth and ANT+ Compatibility

The Rogue Air Rhino is equipped with a 4.7" backlit LCD console designed specifically for strength training. In addition to tracking familiar performance metrics like watts, calories, and distance, the Air Rhino introduces force-based metrics to measure strength output. Whether you're training for personal progress or competing in official XENOM™ events, the console delivers accurate, consistent performance data every workout.

Strength-Focused Performance Metrics

  • Average Force – Measures the average force applied throughout each repetition. Think of it as a barbell equivalent, making it easy to benchmark and track strength progress over time.
  • Force Over Time – Measures cumulative force across each rep and the entire workout, rewarding both how hard and how long you pull.
  • Watts – Tracks power output per repetition and across the full workout.
  • Calories – Calculates total work performed, similar to other flywheel-based machines.
  • Distance – Measures the actual length of rope pulled on every repetition and throughout the workout.


Console Features

  • Pre-programmed workouts plus fully customizable workout modes
  • Stores previous workout history with onboard memory
  • Competition-ready accuracy for consistent performance tracking
  • 4.7" backlit LCD display
  • Bluetooth and ANT+ compatible
  • OTA (Over-the-Air) software updates through the Rogue App
  • Self-generating power with D-cell battery backup
  • Integrated smartphone & tablet holder holds devices with up to a 8.5” width

High-Strength Synthetic Cord

At the core of the Air Rhino's drive system is a high-strength synthetic cord engineered to withstand extreme, repetitive loads. Advanced material design makes this synthetic cord 25% stronger than a steel cable of the exact same diameter, ensuring zero compromise in safety or reliability during maximum-effort pulls. 

Additionally, the system provides a massive 98 inches of cord travel length, easily accommodating athletes of all sizes and allowing sufficient extension for any movement, from deep belt squats and heavy deadlifts to full-range overhead presses.

OFFICIAL EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER

The Rogue Air Rhino is the official machine used for Event 007 – 5RM Rhino Pull at every XENOM™ competition. Known as the Decathlon of Fitness™, XENOM™ is a stadium-scale, two-day competition consisting of 10 events that measure total human performance through a standardized, points-based scoring system. By testing athletes across every major domain of fitness, XENOM™ establishes the first repeatable global benchmark for high-performance athletes.

XENOM™ MODE


The Air Rhino features a dedicated XENOM™ mode that replicates the official competition settings. Set the damper to MAX, enable RHINO MODE, and select XENOM on the monitor. Once you begin your first pull, you'll have 30 seconds to complete five deadlift reps, just as you would in competition.

Using real-time stroke analysis and advanced motion algorithms, the Air Rhino intelligently validates each repetition by evaluating multiple parameters, including a minimum stroke length. It automatically rejects incomplete reps so they do not contribute to Average Power calculations. Additionally, the system supports future firmware updates to further refine detection accuracy and adapt to evolving competition standards.

A machine to help you go, not so much for show!
I am an endurance athlete and compete in KB sport. I have had the air rhino for about a month and it definitely has a purpose. I can see a lot of potential with this machine as well as a lot of possibilities. Since I am all about go and not for show, I have no problem giving it five stars.

A perfect machine
After the Olympic barbell, this is the best piece of strength equipment human beings have yet invented. Safe, endlessly versatile, infinitely scalable, affordable for what it does, simple to put together, and easy for one person to move around -- you can shred yourself in a multitude of ways. Deadlifts, belt squats, goblet squats, etc, sure. But do thrusters with this thing and really expand your mind. I have mine in the garage gym, though it's light and quiet enough that you could use this in a small apartment without your neighbors noticing. This thing will quickly become a must-have for any respectable facility.

Small footprint, humbling experience
Set up process took less than an hour and a half for us. Rhino mode is a very noticeable difference in resistance. Overall positive for the use case it is designed for. The belt it comes with is high quality as you would expect from rogue. Being able to feel like you are lifting your one rep max in one go is very nice.

Amazing Rhino!!!
Purchased the air rhino for our gym as I have been looking for a belt squat machine for a long time. When rogue released this version I was excited and purchased right away thinking it was just that a belt squat, man was I wrong!! The air rhino is hands down one of the most unique and versatile pieces of exercise equipment to date. Initially I thought this was going to have a similar feeling to the other erg type machines, however it is different. The fly wheel does not pick up momentum or keep spinning like a regular erg machine, which makes it way more of a workout than expected. 30seconds to a min on the rhino is no joke even with a low damper setting and will blow your legs up. Rhino mode is a freaking monster!! It adds a constant tension that fight back the harder you push the entire ROM and reminds me a lot of the old hydraulic isokinetic machines back in the day. The versatility of this machine is unmatched which I wasn't really even thinking of when I purchased it. You can squat, press, lung, pull and even more. I personally experimented doing thrusters with an empty bar and wall balls on it while standing backwards which gave a whole new level of resistance and coordination requirements to those movements. Instal was super easy and I completed it in just over an hour. Read the instructions and watch the video, it will help a lot. As mentioned do not tighten the fasteners all the way, in fact just get them started and add maybe 1 full turn and that's it until the final step. This will help all of them line up as the tolerances are super tight. I ended up turning the unit on its side in order to get the side rails to sit and line up properly and found this was easier that what the instructions listed. I tightened the large hex bolts all the way on these then backed out one full turn this kept everyone in place nicely so the top plate lined up perfectly. Quality and contraction is on par with all of rogues equipment, it's beefy, but also nimble. The turf wheels and material used make it very mobile and easy to wheel around. Hands down one of the best pieces anyone can buy. We will be purchasing more units.

Game changing for athletes
Amazing product for concentric only autoregulating resistance. If you're a field sport athlete trying to workout in season this is a must have; you can get a really great strength stimulus without the next day soreness. I do wish there was a lower gear for some smaller movements but for most lower body it's a perfect fit. Tolerances were pretty tight during assembly (which is great for a solid final product) but if you wait to tighten until the end you shouldn't have an issue.

Great, want more!!
The Air Rhino is great. I can power through a workout with zero knee pain, I'm 54 years old so that says a lot. I have a genuine request, I'd love to see a functional trainer system with this type of resistance, perhaps something akin to a free motion style machine with air rhino resistance. Being older the ability to train every muscle with this resistance would be spectacular. Also, maybe a bench with leg developer that can dock with the rhino too, basically a whole ecosystem. I tried digital resistance, this is far superior I just want more movements. This could be the future of training for older people or people with joint issues
