The Sorinex Dark Horse Power Rack

[jackbravo]

A few good points here. I try to include a lot of pics in the 'reviews' so people can see what I see, but its really more of an initial impression than a full review and I try to update as I use the product more. I wasn't trying to justify a purchase. I was trying to justify taking a loss on another purchase. Maybe it's the same thing.

I've had some time to observe this unfold today and to be quite honest I didn't think I'd even need to acknowledge that ridiculous post.

Its a pretty simple solution. I will not sell the Dark Horse. If you want one in Canada, call Sorinex.

I'm not sure of all the implications of this random anonymous post, but I think it'd be a loss for the northerners if there wasn't a local dealer for this sweet rack. Personally, I wouldn't allow a random interneter to ruin my business. I'm fairly sure no one here doubts the legitimacy of your review. Oh yeah, I'm probably going to buy a dark horse after your review (and I live minutes from Rogue HQ).

I understand to a point in questioning GI's review on the Dark Horse, but he was not pushing others to purchase from him. From the sound of it he has no financial interest in Sorinex making sales outside of his region in Canada. I do take with a grain of salt when someone first purchases something and makes an immediate review on a forum. People try to justify their purchase. That is why I like reading reviews after a person has sometime to use the product and give quality pros and cons on it. This is not intended to be a dig at GI or his review, but just in general of reviews on various types of forums.

Thanks for making the guy not sell DarkHorses in Canada, good job. Negged. Srs.

Lol. Take it easy folks.

Guys, I'm a fireman with a side business. That's it. I work hard at both. I really don't care if you buy a Rogue bar or a Valor rack or whatever the f is out there. I like having gear and built a business around it. I sell stuff that I want to have (mostly so I can have it)

I started this business because I like this stuff. Selling or not selling The DH isn't going to make or break anything. If the DH is out, pretty sure there is no question of my integrity here. That's worth it to me.

I live in the US so I would be ordering from Sorinex directly but I don't see a point in letting an internet stalker win. I seriously doubt that anyone wants you to lose distribution of Sorinex except for IronWong... maybe he works for that fitness chain that you guys have up north.

FYI I was kidding around about a conspiracy, but I guess my humor isn't that great.

Sell what you want to sell. When you sell something to me, make sure I get a better deal than everyone else !

[Vmango]

I can't believe we're still talking about this. FWIW, Craig (Garage Iron) and I had a big talk about equipment and racks before I ordered. His advice to me was to go for the Rogue R3 based on the value of shipping to Canada. I looked at just about EVERY rack option on the market in the $1000-$1500 range. This was literally right before he ordered his DH and you can see my joking anger in his review thread.

Now, after visiting his gym and seeing the DH I still think the R3 30" BT is a better fit for my needs, but still, had I known about the DH I may very well have bought it. Can we please move on?

I'd like to get my hands on a Sorinex Nickelblack bar....

Did your come with assembly instructions?

How long did it take you to get yours? I am kind of upset, I emailed them twice asking for just an approximate time when they thought it would be done and shipped. I know it could take multiple weeks but it would be nice just to hear that back from them. Yet when I sent an email with some questions on other items I was possibly interested in purchasing I got a reply back within like 15 mins.

I hope they arent one of those now that they have your business they dont care anymore companies. Things like that will get an order cancelled very quickly and me moving on to someone elses rack

Navyguy, when did you order yours? I don't know what current lead times are... I ordered mine on during the new years break and received it in a week. The rack has become quite popular and most likely selling much better than originally expected by Sorinex. I worked with Ben Smith at Sorinex and he was extremely responsive. I have contacted him well beyond normal business hours. I purchased the rack over the phone, but have purchased other items now online and received them quickly. If you don't have someones contact info... PM me and I'll give you Ben's number.

[Navyguy825]

I have no problems with it taking multiple weeks to make it, I expected that when I ordered. Just would be nice to have gotten a reply back saying hey yeah it will be about xx days/weeks. Yet instead I get no reply but when I inquiry about possible new purchases a new reply for that gets a response almost immediately.

Thanks so much!!! What a great forum.

I believe that I ordered mine on January 14th, and I received it yesterday (mind you that was shipping from SC to Vancouver-area Canada).

I also worked with Ben and he was extremely responsive as well.

I did receive it a bit later than they originally quoted me, but I do understand that they have had quite a demand for this rack lately. Trust me, once you get it, the wait will be worth it.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but did they not give you an estimated delivery date when you ordered it?

[jfindon]

This looks like a hell of a rack. Maybe I'll add this to my list for my upgrade down the road.

How much did it cost to ship it into BC? At some point I'll likely end up importing a rack to BC as well...

No, just the usual hey you placed an order email right after I bought it.

Yeah get that too sometimes with other vendors and other products not even fitness related. If you ask a question before order, you get a reply ASAP. After order, no go.

Can anyone tell me tge height of the storage rack, looks about 10" shorter? Also what size are the holes on the rack(trying to see what accessories other places sell that will fit?

[RemainDieHard]

Oh my god i love those j-hooks!

[817boy]

The rack is 3x3 and the storage is 2x2
1" holes

[Navyguy825]

Whats the total height of the storage rack, ive seen the overall height posted but not that of the storage which is shorter.

You also 1" hole, I saw somewhere else 5/8 and sorinex says their landmine works on it which is 5/8?

[scottofio]

31st of January. No custom mods, just ordered the horse, the Xl diablo dip attachment and the plastic on the J hooks, no extra storage pins.

[trimble006]

That includes customs and everything?! Not too shabby... Thanks!

[Navyguy825]

Look at the first page on this thread. Now look at 5th picture its a picture of Rogues Jcup (5/8) against Sorinex J cup and you can clearly see its bigger. I believe its 1 inch.
