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
- 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
- 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
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.

Pros of the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill
-
Low price
-
Small footprint
If you want to self build a
treadmill desk, you can do this fairly cheap by ordering from TITAN. Combine the under desk
treadmill with the A2 single motor sit to stand desk and you have a
treadmill desk for under $1000. It won't be the prettiest, fanciest, and have the most features, but it will do the deed for under $1000.
Cons of the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill
-
Not for running
-
Can not fold
-
Minimal computer unit
The
TITAN under desk treadmill is not ideal for running fast. As with most under desk
treadmills, they are designed for a very slow walking pace and will not take a prolonged heavy pounding. Especially if you are a big athlete you should be careful.
Compared to other
under desk treadmill models the TITAN version can not fold up. If your desk setup should be permanently able to have a
treadmill setup that is fine. If you want to change around often you might want to look for a foldable option instead.
The computer of the
under desk treadmill is pretty simple and does not incorporate any kind of extras. All it does is that it shows your the steps, calories, or distance you have done. A bonus is that you can place it on the desk so that you do not need a remote or bend under the desk to make adjustments.
Alternatives to the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill
If you are looking for a
treadmill the
TrueFrom runner is the current king of the court. This self-propelled
treadmill has a reputation for the best belt in the business when it comes to self-propelled machines. If you want to accelerate and decelerate fast, this is the right
treadmill to simulate a game environment without taking up too much space. While it is the creme de la creme in functionality, the price is astronomical and close to $6000. You can build an entire gym with that or deck your entire team with
TITAN under the desk treadmills instead.
The
Rogue Echo bike is in my opinion the best choice for a home gym that is focused on performance. For long runs, you can go outside and get your running shoes on. For interval training and burning as many calories as possible in a short amount of time, there is no match for air bikes. Air bikes can accelerate and decelerate fast without costing a fortune. Technically the Jacobs ladder and the Versaclimber burn more calories per minute but they cost more and take up more space. Other Air bikes in the market are usually more than $1000 except the
TITAN fan bike which takes a low-budget clone approach to the
Echo bike.
The
Nordictrack 32i is the flagship
treadmill from Nordictrack. This beast has all the bells and whistles including a massive screen as well as incline and decline settings for running. If you want the full running experience and be entertained at the same time, this is the machine to get.IN return you have to give up a considerable share of your living space and wallet share.
Conclusion for the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill
If you do not mind putting your hands and mind into a project you can build a cheap desk
treadmill using the
TITAN under desk treadmill as the belt. You could also get it as a cheap walker to get more steps in without having to go outside and watch the television. Apart from that, there are better options for a similar price out there, if you take your running and cardio seriously.
