Butcher V2
Buy Now · $335.00The Rogue Butcher V2 is a heavy-duty, all-surface push sled co-developed with Westside Barbell, built from 74 lb of American-made 2x3” 11-gauge steel with a 500+ lb load capacity. Four handle positions let athletes push from a high, upright angle or a low, harder mountain-climbing-style angle, and bolt-on steel feet – fully replaceable, with optional UHMW plastic skis for floor protection – are built to handle years of abuse on pavement, turf, or gym flooring. It’s a push-only design with no dedicated pull attachment, and its welded upright construction takes up more storage footprint than sleds with removable posts, but independent reviewers consistently rank it as a top heavy-duty pushing sled and long-term owners report the steel skids far outlast expectations even under heavy outdoor use.

Rogue’s Butcher V2 earns its reputation as the heavyweight of the sled lineup: 74 lb of American-made 2x3” 11-gauge steel with a 500+ lb capacity, co-developed with Westside Barbell, and independent roundups consistently rank it as a top heavy-duty pushing sled. Build quality and durability are the standout dimensions — long-term owners report the bolt-on steel feet shrug off years of outdoor pavement abuse — while versatility is the clear weak spot: it’s a push-only design with no dedicated pull attachment, and it carries a premium price relative to lighter sleds.
- +Build quality: 74 lb of 2x3" 11-gauge US steel, co-developed with Westside Barbell, matte black powdercoat grip on all four handles (Rogue manufacturer page)
- +Durability: long-term owners report the bolt-on steel feet/skids show minimal wear even after years of heavy outdoor pavement use, with feet fully replaceable if damaged (StartingStrength forum; Rogue manufacturer page)
- +Functionality: four handle positions — high vertical poles for an upright push, low horizontal handles for a harder, low-angle push (Rogue manufacturer page)
- +Value: reviewer calls it "another example in a long line of superior equipment," citing build quality above cheaper alternatives like the Titan Fitness HD sled (YourWorkoutBook)
- −Versatility: not properly set up for pulling — no dedicated pull attachment, so pulling means improvising with a rope or resistance band (ModeratelyFit)
- −Value: "the steepest investment" among the sleds compared in a roundup review (ModeratelyFit)
- −Functionality: independent long-form coverage is thin — Garage Gym Reviews' page is a spec summary with no narrative verdict or pros/cons, and the on-topic YouTube videos found are brief (under a minute) demo clips rather than hands-on reviews
