Swissies V2 Max

Name: Swissies V2 Max
Brand: Kensui
Rating: 4.9 (10 reviews)

Kensui’s Swissies V2 MAX are patent-pending neutral-grip attachments built around a fin-shaped palm support rather than a plain handle. The wider, rubber-lined hook fits bar diameters up to 2.5” (64mm) — pull-up bars, barbells, Smith machines, and dip bars — while an integrated carabiner lets the same pair connect to cable machines, lat pulldowns, row machines, and resistance bands, so one pair covers most neutral-grip pulling work without swapping attachments. The fin shape reduces how hard you have to squeeze to hold on, shifting more of the effort onto the lats during pull-ups, rows, and pulldowns, at some cost to grip training and to compatibility with pushing exercises. Built from a nylon-fiberglass composite, sold as a pair, and rated to an 800 lb load capacity.

What is a Cable Attachment?

What cable attachments are

Cable attachments are the handles and bars that clip to a cable machine, functional trainer, or lat/row station to change the exercise — lat bars, triceps ropes, single-D handles, row/close-grip handles, ankle straps, and more. A small set of them turns one cable stack into dozens of movements.

What to look for

A rotating swivel or ball-bearing joint keeps the cable from twisting and lets the handle track your arm; comfortable, durable grips (knurled metal, rubber, or coated nylon) survive heavy use; and a standard carabiner or snap fits most machines. Match the attachment to the exercises you actually train rather than buying a giant kit you won’t use.

Kensui’s Swissies V2 MAX swap a straight grip for a fin-shaped palm support that reduces how hard you have to squeeze, forcing more of the load through the lats on pull-ups, rows, and cable pulldowns — reviewers across text and video coverage consistently describe it as a genuine mind-muscle-connection tool rather than a gimmick. Versatility is the standout dimension: a rubber-lined hook fits bars up to 2.5” and an integrated carabiner lets the same pair double as cable-machine and resistance-band handles. Durability is the weakest link — one hands-on reviewer found the rubber hook liner visibly worn after a single use on a knurled barbell, a real concern given the otherwise strong composite-plastic build quality praised elsewhere.

+Functionality: fin-shaped palm support reduces grip dominance and shifts effort to the lats, praised across multiple independent hands-on reviews as a genuine mind-muscle-connection tool (Isolate the Lats review; Kensui Swissies V2 Max Review)
+Versatility: rubber-lined hook fits bar diameters up to 2.5", plus an integrated carabiner for cable-machine and resistance-band use (Kensui product page; AL Geek Fitness)
+Build quality: nylon-fiberglass composite construction feels dense and durable in hands-on testing (calisthenics.com; Isolate the Lats review)
+Functionality: keeps the wrist neutral through the rep, reducing strain during heavy pulling movements (Kensui Swissies V2 Max Review video)
+Value: backed by a 100-day trial and lifetime warranty per third-party coverage (Torokhtiy)

−Durability: the rubber hook liner showed visible wear after a single use on a knurled barbell in hands-on testing, raising doubts about longevity on textured bars (Isolate the Lats review)
−Functionality: reduced grip engagement is a trade-off — good for isolating the lats, but undermines training grip and lats together (Isolate the Lats review)
−Versatility: can't be used for pushing exercises, and the wider hook opening means taller lifters hang lower off the bar, requiring more leg tuck on indoor pull-up setups (AL Geek Fitness)
−Value: price and current availability are unclear — the manufacturer page listed the product out of stock with no price shown at time of research
