Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled – Better than the Torque Tank M1?

Summer is fast approaching and that means time to get that conditioning work in. And what better way than to take a brand new sled for a ride? The Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled just dropped as the first sled with rotating back wheels, and it has me VERY excited. So much so that I reached out to my friends at Get RxD to discuss it.

You should know that I have a LONG history with sleds. From DIY tire sleds, to three post prowler style, flat sleds, the Torque Tank M1, even trying sled type devices to get the work in. So far, everything has had their pros and cons, but nothing has really NAILED it. Will the Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled be the PERFECT Home Gym Sled?

Transparency Note

Get RxD was nice enough to send me the Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled for sake of review. This is their 4th generation of the XT sled. I have an affiliate link with Get RxD as well, so if you use it it will help me continue to do more cool stuff in my garage. As always, I hope I can provide a clear and detailed review so you know what to do for YOUR home gym.

Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled Specs

As I mentioned, this will be far from the first sled I’ve added to the garage, but it definitely has some unique features that could make it a top contender.

Assembly

The unit gets shipped in one big box, and is more or less the same as MOST gym equipment. Packed tight, foam inserts, you name it. Unfortunately, I don’t think they used enough tape and reinforcement as the foam insert was DESTROYED. I typically take all of the packing materials and put them on Marketplace for a local small business/non-profit to get for free. The main foam piece went straight in the garbage as it was busted into multiple pieces.

I would ignore this, if it didn’t have unfortunate ramifications. I already have several spots where the powder-coat is scuffed, a few stickers are scratched and peeling slightly, you get the idea. I think they need to look into some stronger tape, and possibly a reinforced top and bottom. Things I’ve seen lately are using a thin piece of particle board on the top and bottom to spread the load across the entire box, instead of just a single piece of tape.

All of the needed tools were included, and the instructions were easy to follow. It took me less than 30 minutes to fully assemble (add some time for unpacking and clean-up). Several of the bolts were in less than ideal spaces and angles, so I used one of my new toys – my Dewalt Impact Driver and the 90 Degree attachment with my hex heads. You can 100% do this old school, but this probably saved me 20 minutes.

Key Features Of The Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled

The Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled is the 4th version of the Xebex sled line. The sled is meant for pushing, dragging, pulling, using multiple harnesses, straps, and handles, and even using the handles for a wheelbarrow weighted carry.

It comes with 8 levels of resistance that can be adjusted with a lever to adjust how hard the sled fights back as you work.

The 3 rubber tires are the go-to for home gym sleds, but the unique feature here is that the back wheels are on casters, meaning they rotate. What this allows you to do is easily turn the sled around. Since 3 point style sleds are often one directional, you can now pivot in place instead of having to prop the front wheel up, rotate, and repeat. You can also use it to go around a track, in circles, around neighborhoods on the sidewalk, you name it.

The Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled comes with multiple other items like a spot for weights on the back and front to increase traction, can be stored vertically, and has options for a ton of accessories.

Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled Accessories

The Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled can be purchased as a stand alone sled, or with additional accessories including the Console. These include a shoulder strap, harness, belt, and multiple ways to connect and hook up everything. I’ll be mixing in my rope as well as using my various straps, wraps, harneses, and belts as well.

Things I’m Looking For in the Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled

Just last week I took the Torque Tank M1 over to the local park for my girls soccer team to practice with. We use it on our driveway, on the sidewalk, neighbors have used it, and it stores away fairly easily (with my DIY solution). So the Xebex Fitness XT4 Sled is going to have to knock the Torque Tank M1 off it’s current pedestal. It is going to need to work on grass, on concrete, in tight spaces, in wide open spaces, with kids and adults, for sprints and heavy work, with a rope and accessories, you name it. It needs to be the PERFECT Home Gym Sled. PLEASE?!?! I really want the search to end.

Other Options On The Market

Torque Tank M1

The original home gym sled, the Torque Tank M1. This has been our go to sled for awhile.

Xebex Fitness XT3 PLUS Sled

You can still currently buy the Xebex XT3 sled. It doesn’t have the same features like the back wheels, but it is a cheaper option.

Basic Sled

A literal ass-ton of companies offer metal sleds on skids in various fashions. Amazon, EliteFTS, Rogue, and many others. I never enjoyed these, but they certainly are budget friendly. There are other unique options from companies like Freak Athlete with their WheelBarrow Sled, but ultimately, at this point, I’m only using a wheeled sled.
