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.

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.
