Started with a buddy lee rope 2 years ago and moved to a SR-1 about 2 weeks ago and immediately PR'd. Just couldn't help purchasing the SR-2 after seeing such a difference in the SR-1. It's truely a weapon. 100 straight on my first try out of the box. Used this rope in today's WOD and improved my average consecutive DU's by 2x. Dont be afraid to spend the 5 sec to "right" the rope. It's worth it. Use tape on the handles. Rogue hit it out of the park on this one.

Just some quick comments in case anyone needs help deciding between ropes in the future. I can currently string together over 100 DUs consistently and need a good responsive rope with speed and less "fatigueability". I previously owned a RX rope with an elite cable and purchased the SR2 to "upgrade". The first time I used the rope I strung together more DUs then I even had. The rope is fast. i've been using it for the past few months and am unfortunately going back to the RX with a lighter cable for one reason only; you have to pick up your rope untangled mid-wod perfectly everytime to avoid alignment issues. If you pick up the rope right, then the SR2 flies. If you turn the handle even one turn, your DU's suffer and I found myself missing quite a bit and having to look closely at which way it was twisted to fix the problem. So if you want a rope that you can show off your hundreds of DUs in a row, then the SR2 is king. But personally, I need a rope I can pick up and set down (in a hurry) mid wod and not have to worry about it being perfectly untangled. hope the review helps someone

Ok why spend $60.00 on a jump rope? because I have screws in both wrists with almost no range of motion, My left arm will not extend completely due to reconstructive surgery,and I have the rhythm of a 3 leg elephant..But with this rope I am now doing 3/ 2 minute rounds without tripping myself.heck all i need is Sweet Georgia Brown playing in the background and I would feel like Sugar ray Robinson...So in conclusion why spend the 60 harps?? because some people are content to drive a Ford while others want to get behind the wheel of a FERRARI

The new SR-2 is absolutely amazing! One of the best purchases i've bought for my garage gym. Right out of the box this rope was extremely easy to use and had a great feel in your hand. Rogue did it again with another great product!

Just received the SR-2 today and got a chance to test it out. It performed very well and feels great...little to no fatigue after numerous stretches of double unders. Definitely smoother than my RPM rope, SR-1, or Rev Rope. Great job on this one, Rogue.

So let's start by saying I own 3 other jump ropes.
SR-1 Rogue Bearing Speed Rope
Ropes as Rx
RPM Speed Rope
________________________________
Onto the Review the SR-2
Positives:
-It is fast
-Awesome quality
-Made in the USA.
-Design is slick looking.
-Coated Cable
-Nice weighted rope.
-Rogue Stands behind their products

So what are the con's...
-The handles can become slick and their is not much grip to them.
-The Cost Ouch: 65 dollars for a Jump rope...USA Made comes with a cost
-The Rope is screwed down and this does not allow the rope to spin freely in all directions. This causes two issues
1) Rope must be straight and lined up when tightening down the rope for the first time.
2) Rope must be aligned and straight before starting to jump rope.

Comparison to the others now.
RPM Rope
- fast when it gets going
- rope spins freely in all directions and does not have to be aligned.
-Good handles with awesome grip.
-Price
Cons:
-Handle does not seem to spin like the SR2 or SR1 rope. I am surprised it is quick like it is.
- Non coated cable
- Not made in the USA
-unknown product support reputation

SR1:
Pros:
Fast free flowing rope
-good handles
- handles roll smoothly
- no alignment issues
-long handles
-good cable weight
- Cheap for the quality
Cons:
-not made in the Usa
-Allen bolt in the handle can become loose and is impossible to get a allen wrench in there. (Pencil eraser Works well to tighten it)
-handles are easier to break due to the length.

Last but not least;
Rx Jump rope;
Pros:
-Durable
-Fast enough
-customization (cable weight, length)
-Great learners rope
-no alignment issues
Cons
- It is a handle with skateboard bearings
- handles seemed to be wrapped with Tennis handle tape
-Cost is high for what it is
- not the fastest rope of the bunch

So I am going to give the SR2 a four star because of the Quality and being made in the USA, but this rope might not be the best for a workout were you must reset a lot. IE 50 double unders, 10 pushups amrap style. Alignment and not wanting to damage your Lamborghini jump rope will waste time.

It is a Lamborghini jump rope and just plain awesome in a lot of respects.
Would it be my first choice of ropes for the cost and design. No, I think I would go with the RPM rope for a normal workout.
For learning I would go with the Rx rope with a heavier cable
The SR1 for a economy rope- quality to performance ratio.

As a Crossfitter and Engineer I was extra excited to get my new SR-2 Jump Rope. I have been working with the Ultra Speed Cable Ropes and the SR-1. My PR with the SR-1 is 84 unbroken Double Unders and 34 unbroken Reverse Double Unders. That being said, I was expecting to crush those numbers with the SR-2. Unfortunately, that did not even come close. So here is my review:
The handles are extremely light, I much prefer the long handles of the SR-1 and I actually had to add tape to the handle because after my WOD the handles kept slipping out with the machined finish. If you are deciding whether or not to spend the money on this rope: consider this golf club analogy.
The Ultra Speed Cable is like the basic starter set of clubs. Inexpensive, quality and a great way to learn DUs. Once you’ve solidified your basic technique (40 unbroken Dus) you upgrade to the more expensive set (SR-1). The better tool produces better results. The SR-2 is like that $500 driver the pros use, only worth the investment if you’re good enough to utilize the technology. If you have great jumping technique then you see great results. If you haven’t solidified your DUs yet, (~80 unbroken consistently) then the SR-2 might be frustrating at first cause it will expose your weakness in jumping. The SR-2 is an AWESOME product for the experienced jumper and totally worth the money, but if your technique isn’t solid then I suggest the SR-1 or SR-1S.
