Product Review: Ultra Speed Cable Jump Ropes

Over my six years of training in CrossFit I have tried out numerous types of jump ropes. The Ultra Speed Cable jump ropes are the best for double unders and easy to travel with.

Over my six years of training in CrossFit I have tried out numerous types of jump ropes. I have used everything from old fashioned beaded plastic ropes, to the rubber “licorice” style to ropes, to high-tech customized competition ropes. Hands down, my favorite rope and the one I find most durable and useful for high speed workouts, is the Ultra Speed Cable Jump Rope.

Light Weight & High Speed

The first thing you will notice about this rope is its light weight. This rope has in fact been used to break the US National and World speed records. Due to its light weight and high speed, it is a perfect candidate for double and triple unders, as well as large numbers of single unders.

Easily Customizable

The Ultra Speed Cable Jump Rope is also customizable in length. Each rope comes with 9’6” of cable that can be adjusted and trimmed for the individual owner. My personal recommendation is that you set the rope to your ideal length and use it for a while before you trim the cable. You will need a jewelers screw driver and a wire cutter to adjust your rope.

Long Lasting

This jump rope is also one of the sturdiest of the high performance ropes I have used. I have been using mine for over a year without any obvious sign of wear and tear to the cable or damage to the handles. But, because of the customizable nature of the design, replacement of damaged cables is easy anyway. You can re-order just the cable at a much lower price and not have to replace your entire jump rope.

Some drawbacks to the rope:

  • When you miss a rep and whip yourself with the rope – the cable really stings!
  • Due to the light weight of the cable, it can be tangled and twisted during a workout.

In my opinion, the benefits of this rope far outweigh the drawbacks. In addition, the light weight and compact nature of the cable makes this an excellent rope to throw in your bag while traveling.

The Ultra Speed Cable Jump Rope is available for 15.00 at Rogue Fitness.

About Becca Borawski

Becca found her way to a career in health and fitness through Martial Arts and CrossFit. Originally a music editor for film and television, Becca started studying Martial Arts in 2000. Though she started with traditional Martial Arts it was not long before she discovered Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and her path was forever altered. She began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Muay Thai and started working with professional MMA fighters, building websites, working on fight promotions, and producing videos.

As a competitor in BJJ herself, Becca wanted to get stronger and fitter. In 2006 she discovered CrossFit and became a student at CrossFit Los Angeles. In only a couple of years she became CrossFit Level III Certified, left her career in the film industry, and dedicated herself full time to coaching. She has since been certified through CrossFit in Olympic Lifting, Powerlifting, Nutrition, Endurance and Kids coaching. She also held an NSCA-CSCS from 2006-2008 and is a certified IndoRow instructor. In addition to coaching adults, she founded the CrossFit LA Kids program in 2010 and taught children aged 5-17.

Becca regularly takes on new sports, which have included indoor rowing, fencing, and most recently, cycling, as she believes it makes her both a better athlete and a better coach. In order to reach more people with her coaching, Becca also created ModernAthena.com – a website dedicated to women in pursuit of physical fitness and self-improvement.
