New in Firmware 2.0 (beta): what's coming
I haven't tested these yet. Here's what's been shared so far, and where I expect each one to fit.
I'm a Beyond Power affiliate. If you buy a Voltra with my link or code TISSUEGUY, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Everything in this guide comes from my own training and programming with the unit.
- 230 lb maximum resistance, up from 200 lb (Beyond Power). More room for heavy eccentrics and lower-body work before you need a second unit.
- Mountain profile: resistance peaks in the middle of the range and eases off at the start and finish (Beyond Power). It's a ready-made way to surf the resistance profile on exercises that are strongest mid-range, like many curls, without building a Custom Curve.
- DTR (Dynamic Tension Response): holds resistance steady through fast, explosive movements (Beyond Power). It should make Damper, Chains and Band work feel cleaner at high speed.
- Sled Pull: a separate mode built around HYROX-style sled pulls. Early reviewers describe preset sled weights, a sled-like hard start with no momentum, consistent tension throughout, and distance tracking (Robo – The Cage). It's pull-only, so it's a conditioning and locomotion tool, not a sled push.
- Percentage-based eccentric control: reviewers describe setting the eccentric as a percentage that stays locked as you change the concentric load (HomeGym Harry). That's handy for hypertrophy overload. For eccentric neural grooving, keep using a set number of pounds.
