Description
The REP Nighthawk adjustable bench is a premium mid-range strength training bench that builds upon the foundation of the AB‑4100 model. Weighing just 40kg, it combines a robust yet lightweight steel frame with smart weight distribution, allowing it to feel lighter and more manageable than heavier benches in REP’s lineup. Its compact design is complemented by a built-in, rubber-padded upright post and heavy-duty wheels for vertical storage and easy maneuvering, making it ideal for space-conscious home, light-commercial or office gyms.
The bench features a closed ladder-style adjustment system with seven backrest angles ranging from 0° to 85° and four seat angles from –15° to 20°, giving users comprehensive versatility across exercises. The frame, crafted from 7- and 14-gauge steel, supports up to 317.5kg and ensures exceptional durability and stability thanks to its tripod base with a wide rear foot and full-contact front foot.
Comfort is enhanced by a molded polyurethane pad wrapped in REP’s grippy vinyl, which delivers excellent grip and cushioning for intense lifts, while knurled front handles and sleek black nickel hardware add to the bench’s refined, performance-focused aesthetic. At the standard IPF-compliant competition height of 42.4cm, it accommodates both flat-foot leg drive and official lifting form.
The Nighthawk as one of REP’s most feature-rich adjustable benches. Independent reviews applaud its durability, portability, and integration with other REP products like the Ares 2.0 trainer, as well as compatibility with existing and future attachments such as the leg developers.
As a overall, the REP Nighthawk bench delivers a compelling package of performance, build quality, and aesthetic polish in a lighter, more maneuverable form factor than most benches in its class. Whether your priority is heavy lifting, space savings, or seamless integration into a full REP setup, this bench offers a balanced solution without the bulk or high price tag of elite models.
