Hyrox introduces replaceable sled blades for more consistent races

Hyrox has announced a notable technical change: the blades fitted beneath the sled will now be replaceable. The goal is to keep sled resistance as consistent as possible at every race and every venue.

Blade wear currently causes the sled to feel lighter or heavier than intended. With replaceable blades, organizers can swap out the components in time, ensuring athletes everywhere compete under the same conditions.

For competitive athletes, this is no minor detail. The sled push and sled pull rank among the toughest elements of the race, and small differences in resistance can have a noticeable impact on finish times.

No announcement has been made yet as to which race or date will mark the introduction of the new blades as standard.
