Bells of Steel Manticore Power Rack

Overview

The Manticore is Bells of Steel's flagship power rack, aimed at lifters who want commercial features and a polished build at a price below the biggest premium brands. It is built from 3x3 11-gauge uprights with laser-cut, numbered holes and Westside 1-inch hole spacing through the working range, which makes matching J-cup and safety heights effortless. The fully enclosed four-post cage provides genuine solo spotting, and the rack tops out with a multi-grip pull-up bar. Where the Manticore shines is its attachment ecosystem: flip-down safeties, dip handles, landmines, plate horns, and modular storage all bolt on to grow the rack into a complete strength station. The numbered uprights are a small but meaningful quality-of-life touch shared with the priciest racks. It suits intermediate and advanced home lifters building a long-term setup. The trade-offs are modest: it is heavy and effectively permanent once assembled, the base configuration leaves popular accessories as add-ons that raise the total, and freight on the thick steel adds cost. For lifters chasing premium features and a clean finish without top-tier pricing, the Manticore is a compelling flagship.
