RPM Speed Rope - Competition

Prior to getting these ropes, I had one of the Rogue SR-2 speed rope clones that you can find on Amazon for $10-20.These two actually: (purchased about 2 years apart)  Jump Rope 1  , Jump Rope 2 I could string about 30-50 double unders with those but would be fairly inconsistent. The problem I found towards the end of using these ropes was that the handles would slightly vary in length depending on my wrist flick rhythm. With bad technique, the handle would retract and the rope length would effectively get shorter. I'd then get out of sync and trip on the rope. To top it off, in Open 17.5, the rope that I was using had one end break away from the rope. Enough!With these competition setup RPMs, the rope is ratcheted through the handle, then through the wheel bearing, then out the other side of the handle. With the competition rope, what you are really getting is a Session 3.0 handle that has slightly more grip (not important), but also has the bare cable (super important). The combination of the more secure holding of the rope (and no longer varying length during the workouts) and the super light cable has really upped my double under game.On my first workout using them, we had to do the following:5 Rnds of 1:30.In each 1:30, 5 DL @ 225#, 10 Ring Dips, then as many reps as possible of double unders till the 1:30 was up. After the round, rest 3 minutes and go to the next round.I managed to get 80,81,89,82,88 for my double unders. Amazing! Would recommend, especially if you have the same issues that I was having w/ the cheaper ropes. Our whole gym even got in on a large order!

Seems to be a great rope but I think I got unlucky and got one that wasn’t made well. As soon as I opened it out of the box I noticed fraying. These photos are directly out of box. I am going to email customer service and see if they can give me new one because I think it is a great rope. I had a couple of comps to prepare for so I didn’t have time to mess with return until now. If you’re a pretty elite athlete, would definitely recommend. Beginner athlete do not. Make sure you take pictures if you see fraying. Shouldn’t happen unless you don’t take care of it.

rope was awesome when i first/last used it. the rope started falling apart my first use. hadn't even done 20 double unders. contacted customer service at RPM and they were awesome. quick to respond, sent me a replacement same day.

So far so good. I'm really just learning and I think it's as much about technique as it is the product. This Jump Rope just gets out of your way, so if your technique is good, this thing is going to work great for you. I still have to learn myself how to do Double Unders and this rope has made it easy to get the attempts.

Great rope! It’s fast and durable. Wish I had bought it sooner. Helped take my dubs to the next level.

Awesome looking & superb quality functional fittness - crossfit high speed jump rope, very happy with my purchase.

Worth every penny. If you’ve hit the next level of CrossFit, you need this rope. Spins so fast it’ll twist your hands off!

Great speed rope, little painful when it hits you but it’s really fast.
