Fringe Sport
Kangaroo Cable Belt Squat
$349 (base unit); $439 with El Toro weight horns (shown against a $468 compare-at) · A PRE-ORDER on Fringe Sport's store as of Oct 15, 2026, shipping early December, with free shipping to the lower 48. The page states it plainly - "Kangaroo Cable Belt Squats are on currently on pre-order and will begin shipping early-December." (the doubled word is theirs) - alongside an "Inventory on the way" line, and the visible control reads PRE-ORDER rather than Add to Cart, carrying no disabled attribute and aria-disabled null, so it is live and orderable. Both variants confirm it in the store's own inventory data: overselling permitted with quantity at or below zero. The page's structured data contradicts all of that with schema.org/InStock on both offers; the control and the inventory data govern. Correcting this entry's own prior claim rather than overwriting it silently: it recorded that the product was in stock on Fringe Sport's store as of Oct 14, 2026. That reading came from the catalogue feed's available:true flag, which cannot distinguish real stock from permitted overselling - this is the first rendered read of the page, and it is the read that exposes the difference. Whether the product was ever actually in stock cannot be established from this index's record, so no change of state is being claimed, only a more accurate reading. Listed since June 19, 2026; an October launch roundup presented it as new, but the store record says otherwise.
A floor-level pulley foot that reroutes an existing functional trainer's cable down to a belt, so the load comes from directly below the hips the way a dedicated belt squat machine delivers it. The handlebar adjusts on the uprights like a J-cup, the included belt has three attachment positions, and a concrete anchor bolts the foot to the floor. Fringe Sport says it has been tested to 600lbs and fits 2x2, 2x3 and 3x3 setups.
Why it matters: It is the cable counterpart to Fringe Sport's own Mammoth lever-arm belt squat already in the index: a straight-line belt squat for someone who owns a half-rack functional trainer, without adding a second machine.
Watch for: The felt load follows your trainer's pulley ratio, so on a 2:1 trainer the belt squat is also 2:1 and the stack may run out quickly; the weight-horn bundle exists for that reason. Installation means cutting your cable to length (cutters are included), which is not reversible on that cable. It needs a concrete floor for the anchor. The El Toro compare-at figure is Fringe Sport's own framing, not a verified price history.
