ULTRA SPEED Jump Rope for CrossFit Double Unders - Versatile Cable Speed Rope : : Fully Adjustable Length for All Sizes (Black/BluePVC)
It's likely that you've seen this jump rope before (or one that looks like it.) When we invented the Ultra Speed cable jump rope in 1998 as a specialty speed rope for our competition jump rope team, little did we know it would be adopted by fitness centers and CrossFit affiliates around the country as the jump rope of choice for workouts and double under training. This rope has also been used to set multiple National and World speed jumping records (at up to 7 revolutions per second). WHAT MADE IT REVOLUTIONARY? This rope was developed by a jump rope coach (our founder) who wanted to give his team an edge. So he did something revolutionary: He attached the handles to the cord at a 90-degree angle, which made spinning the rope much more natural and efficient (and reduced rope tangling). He also replaced the traditional licorice rope with a nylon-coated steel cable, which cuts through the air much more quickly than other standard cords. WHY IS IT STILL SO POPULAR? Since rolling out that original Ultra Speed rope in 1998, we've made constant improvements to the design and the materials. The current iteration is "ultra" durable, featuring a kink-resistant, USA-made nylon-coated cable that is more durable than other cables on the market. We've updated the handles with a super tough plastic that can take a beating and is almost impossible to break. Perhaps the biggest selling point is a screw/lock collar system that makes it very easy to adjust the length and replace worn cables. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM THE COPIES? As you may have noticed, the design of this rope has been imitated many times over. It's a great design. When you order from us, you are getting a rope made of the highest quality (no cheap cable or cheap plastics used) customized to the colors of your choice.
