Overview of the Rogue slice sled

Price $175

The rogue slice sled is the smallest sled from Rogue that you can still push via its uprights. The arrow style design makes it a bit easier to push than either sled from Rogue. The unique feature of this sled is that you can fold down the plate pin in the middle for easy storage. This sled can be compacted down so much that you can easily fit it into your car. The full specifications are:

Made in the USA
Dimensions: 27.5" length x 22.75" width x 37.25" (with handles) Height
Fold-Flat Weight Post: 14” loadable length (must be bolted to sled using 1/2” hardware)
0.25" thick Laser-cut and formed steel construction
(1) 16' Sled Strap and (1) Carabiner included standard
Laser-cut Rogue branding on each side of unit
Texture Black powder coat finish

This is a great mini sled that can fit in any corner.

Pros of the Rogue slice sled

The pros of the Rogue slice sled are:

Compact design
Combination of big and small sleds from Rogue
Low price

This is the smallest rogue sled that you can still push with two uprights. Rogue has combined the designs from their Dogsleds and mini sleds to create this compact product at the lower range of their sled arsenal.

Cons of the Rogue slice sled

Cons of the Rogue slice sled are:

Lower versatility compared to Dogsled 1.2
Lower load capacity compared to butcher V2

Compared to the Dogsled 1.2 you have fewer options for attachments and variety in training, but gain a lower purchase price for the slice sled. Compared to the butcher the slice sled can not take as much load.

Alternatives to the Rogue slice sled

Alternatives to the Rogue slice sled are:

If you go a little upmarket you can get the Dogsled 1.2 with a lot more options to fit your individual training needs or just having a bit more fun. Especially if the purchase for yourself and this is the only sled you are likely to ever get, go for the Dogsled 1.2 instead and pick some attachments you will actually use rather than all of them.

The Rogue butcher V2 is the better option for anyone who wants to get the maximum load possible on their slide. In all fairness to most mere mortals that does not apply as they will not push around 1000lbs. Still, if you are in that market, the slice sled is not the right option for you.

Roughly in the same price category is the Rogue Echo dogsled. While the frame is sturdier as the plate pin can not be flipped, I would still go for the slice sled instead. As you are already wanting to save money looking at this option, you can also go with the model that can be stored easier behind a locker or similar.

Conclusion for the Rogue slice sled

The rogue slice sled is the most attractive sled from Rogue in the lower price ranges. It easy to store, still comes with uprights, does not cost too much and can load up to 300lbs. I personally think the smaller sleds are a bit pointless and otherwise, you will have to use a bit more money.
