Overview
The Rogue Slice Sled is a versatile, American-made hybrid speed sled that combines the heavy-duty push capability of a Dog Sled with the portability of a traditional dragging sled. It is Rogue's first steel sled to feature both upright push handles and a fold-down weight post, allowing it to be collapsed and stacked for efficient storage. Whether you are performing high-speed sprints on turf or heavy power drags on concrete, the Slice Sled is engineered for athletes who need a single, compact tool for diverse metabolic conditioning.

Performance Benefits
Dual Push/Pull Functionality: Most compact speed sleds are "pull only," but the Slice Sled's upright handles allow for heavy pushing, which is essential for quad and glute development.
Superior Portability: The fold-flat post and removable handles allow the sled to be transported in most car trunks or stored vertically against a wall, making it ideal for garage gyms and mobile trainers.
Multi-Surface Training: The smooth steel base is optimized for grass and turf. For indoor use or high-friction surfaces like concrete, the sled is compatible with protective plastic skis.
Concentric-Focus Conditioning: Like other Rogue sleds, the Slice Sled eliminates the eccentric phase of training, allowing athletes to perform high-intensity conditioning with less muscle soreness the following day.
Maintenance and Care
Surface Inspection: If used on concrete or asphalt without plastic skis, the powder coat on the bottom will wear off. Regularly check the underside for metal burrs or sharp edges and sand them down to keep the "glide" consistent.
Hardware Check: Periodically tighten the 1/2" bolt on the folding weight post. Due to the vibrations of sled training, this bolt can settle over time.
Sanitization: Wipe down the 40" push handles after use to remove sweat and chalk, preserving the powder coat finish.
Storage: When storing vertically or stacked, ensure the unit is in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation on any scratched areas.
Warranty Information
The Rogue Slice Sled is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original purchaser. This covers defects in materials, functionality, and workmanship. The warranty may be voided if the unit is damaged due to negligent use, improper storage, or unauthorized alterations. Wear items like the sled strap and carabiner are covered by a standard 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need the plastic skis? A: If you plan to use the sled indoors on rubber flooring or outside on a finished driveway, yes. The plastic skis protect the floor and the sled while significantly reducing noise.
Q: Is it hard to push on grass? A: Some users report that if you push from too high a hand position, the "nose" of the sled can dig into soft grass. Staying low on the handles helps prevent this "nose-diving" effect.
Q: Can I use this for reverse sled pulls? A: Absolutely. The included 16' strap can be fed through its own loops to create a belt-like attachment for backward walking/dragging.
Q: Will it fit 45 lb iron plates? A: Yes, the 14" post is designed for standard 2" Olympic plates. You can fit several more iron plates than bumper plates due to their thinner profile.
