Overview of the Rogue Dogsled 1.2

Price $265
 
The Rogue Dogsled 1.2 is the next evolution of the Rogue Dogsled. As with most of their best selling products Rogue took a look at the design and improved upon it. Compared to the original dog sled, rogue added a lot more holes for attachments which makes this sled a versatile tool to improve your explosiveness and strength. The full specifications of this sled are:
 
  • Made in the USA
  • Footprint: 40" x 24"
  • Skid Width: 4”
  • Steel: 2 x 3" 11 Gauge and 0.25" Plate Steel
  • Each Dog Sled ships with (1) carabiner
  • Push poles are removable for easier transport
  • Battle-tested in CrossFit Games competition
In addition to these specifications you can also get the following attachments
 
  • High bar attachment
  • Low bar attachment
  • Dog Sled Bridge
  • Doubke handle attachment
  • Lawn boy attachment
  • Wraparound rail kit
  • Wheelbarrow attachment
This makes it the most versatile sled in the rogue line up you can get. Definitely a save purchase if you have a lawn or can protect your driveway with some cladding. 
 

Pros of the Rogue Dogsled 1.2 

 
Pros of the Rogue Dogsled 1.2 are:
 
  • Versatility
  • Low base price
This sled has been redesigned and a lot of thought went into it. If you want a versatile training tool for yourself or your professional gym, you have many options for pushing and pulling with this Sled. The base price is also low compared to the butcher or XPO which are other sled options from Rogue. 
 

Cons of the Rogue Dogsled 

 
Cons of the Rogue dogsled 1.2 are:
 
  • Single-purpose use
  • Too many choices
  • Surface damage
  • Easy to store
Compared to one of the Yokes of Rogue you will only get a single purpose use out of the sled. Combined with that the order easily climbs up to $600 - $700 when you get all of the attachments, this is something to consider. While the many attachments are great, there is a risk that most of them will gather dust and just clog up your gym. While this is the most versatile sled from Rogue, you also got to ask yourself whether you will actually use all of these options. If you only have the sled it also easier to store than the butcher or yoke when you remove the uprights and put it into a corner. 
 

Alternatives to the Dogsled 1.2

 
Alternatives to the Rogue Dogsled 1.2 are:
 
The Rogue Y1 is definitely in the mix when you are considering a $500 to $600 purchase to mix up the training routines in your commercial gym. The Y1 will not be as good for sprints, but provide another squat and bench station and yoke carries. 
 
The butcher V2 is another alternative with fewer options. However, the butcher can be loaded very heavy for the big guys in your gym. If you want to push and pull a truckload of weight, the butcher is the better option than the dogsled.
 
The Rogue echo dog sled is a good option to save some money and not get too hung up on many different options. It does what it says on the tin for a good price and good quality. 
 
If you are worried about the marble floors in your palace when you are exercising, you can opt for the XPO trainer 2. This sled works on wheels and therefore less a lot less damage in your lawn, driveway or gym floor. 
 

Conclusion for the Dogsled 1.2 

 
The Dogsled 1.2 is a great tool for becoming more agile and getting a stronger core. It is a good mix up for your routines in your local gym or your lawn. Be specific with the attachments you want to buy is the low entry price is a bit of false advertisement compared to how the sled is being marketed. If you include all the toys, you rake up to $700 dollar for which you can also get a yoke.

Overview of the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

 
The TITAN power weighted sled with a leash and harness is one of the cheapest and smallest sleds you can get from TITAN. The best feature about this sled is the loading pin which can be flipped down. This makes the sled an item you can take anywhere without too much hassle. The full specifications of this sled are:
 
- Use with Olympic plates
- Includes leash/harness
- Use on grass, carpet, or concrete
- Little assembly required 
- Max capacity: 500 lb
- Powder Coated finish 
 
- Weight: 37 LBS
- Width: 16"
- Length: 24"
- Leash / harness length: 10 ft.
 
There is little you can do wring with this sled, especially if you only use small weights and focus on acceleration from a starting stance.
 

Pros of the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

 
The pros of this sled are:
 
  • Ready to use package
  • Price
  • collapsible pin
 
With this package, you get everything you need to get going once it arrives at your doorstep, as long as you have some plates. This saves you the hassle and money to look for a harness and leash which match and can be hooked to the sled.
 
The price of this sled is minimal and therefore can turn it into an item to not put too much thought into for someone who serious about their own gym or training a team. Get it, use, test it, break it, or abandon it. You will not cry too many tears about an $80 purchase for your fitness.
 
The very special nice touch about this sled is that you can put down the loading pin. With this, you can easily transport it in a car or a truck to use it on a nearby hill.
 

Cons of the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

 
The cons of the TITAN weighted sled with a leash and harness are:
 
  • Small maximum load
  • Can topple over
  • No attachments
  • Direct contact with the ground
 
This sled is rather small and will therefore not take a lot of weight. You only have one loading pin where other models in the market have up to four depending on what you are willing to invest.
 
The loading pin for this model is a little too high for the base which means that it can topple over easier than other sleds when you do not pull it in a straight line. If you load it heavily this won't be an issue, but for light sprinting loads this can get annoying.
 
This sled will not take any extra attachments unless you weld them on.
 
This sled operates with direct contact to the ground with no plastic buffer in between. If you use it on rock or concrete it will suffer and ultimately break and you have to replace the entire unit, rather than just the plastic feet. You can fix this with a bit of DIY or just replace it as this is not the end of the world.
 

Alternatives to the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

 
Alternatives to the TITAN power weighted sled with leash and harness are:
 
 
 
The TITAN pro sled system gives you a stable sled with plastic feet and the option to use multiple attachments. This is the right sled for the home gym owner who wants to take it seriously but not spent the money on Rogue Fitness equipment. It can have some minor issues with the finish on delivery as with most TiTAN products, but that will not be an issue if you are willing to put some elbow grease in. For professional athletes, I would recommend the Rogue Dogsled 1.2 instead.
 
The low bar push pull drag sled is slightly more expensive than the weighted sled. the two big advantages are that it can be used bi-directionally and has low handles to also push and pull the sled without a harness.
 
The TITAN heavy-duty sled is the right choice for strongmen and big linemen who want to save money and train with heavy loads at their home. In a professional setting, I would recommend the Rogue butcher as an alternative for this purpose. This sled is hard to transport and store.
 
The XPO trainer 2 is the high-end solution for sleds. If you can afford and store it is the best sled to be used in a suburban area to just push it around the pavement or local street. The resistance increases the harder you push it which makes it great for interval training. It is not great for lineman or strongman training as the initial resistance is very easy to overcome which defeats the point for this type of training.
 
The Rogue Dogsled 1.2 has a lot of different attachments and will stay stable in use as it has multiple plastic feet. It is bigger than the TITAN weighted sled and can therefore take more plates without the risk of falling over. It will be harder to store in a car or truck, as the loading pin con not be folded down and the overall construction is bigger.
 
The Rogue Echo sled is the low-cost option of the dogsled 1.2. It will not have as many attachments available to you as the dogsled 1.2 and in return cost less. Compared to the power weighted sled with a leash and harness, the Rogue echo sled is bigger, more expensive, and harder to transport. In return, you can haul bigger loads and use it easier in both directions.
 

Conclusion for the TITAN  Power weighted sled with leash and harness

 
The power weighted sled with a leash and harness is the small little companion you can take everywhere with you. It does not cost a lot and is compact. There is not really a lot you can do wrong here if you only want to do haul some extra weight somewhere outdoors. For the serious athlete that uses the sled in a gym environment or on a pitch the TITAN Pro Sled, Rogue Dogsled 1.2, or Rogue Echo Sled might be a better option, given the budget allows for it.
