Overview
The Rogue SR-1 Bearing Speed Rope is a high-performance jump rope designed for athletes who require unbeatable speed and durability.

Sizing and Adjustment Instructions
The SR-1 is a "one size fits most" rope that must be manually adjusted to your height before use.
How to Size Your Rope:
Measure: Stand on the center of the cable with one foot. Pull the handles upward.
-
Find your length: * Beginners: Handles should reach the top of the shoulders.
Advanced: Handles should reach the armpit level.
Adjust: Slide the adjustable set screw to the desired position.
Test: Perform a few jumps before cutting to ensure the length is comfortable.
Trim: Use wire cutters to trim the excess cable, leaving about 1–2 inches for future adjustments. Replace the rubber end cap over the cut end.
Pro Tip: Apply a small amount of Loctite or electrical tape to the set screw to prevent it from loosening during high-speed workouts.
Maintenance and Replacement Parts
To maintain peak performance, inspect your cable and bearings regularly.
Replacement Cables: If your cable begins to fray or the coating wears down, you can find SR Replacement Cables here.
Bearings: If the spin feels gritty, ensure no dirt or debris is trapped in the eyelet. The bearings are sealed and do not typically require lubrication.
Indoor Use: To maximize the life of your rope, avoid using it on concrete or asphalt. We recommend using a Rogue Rubber Tile or a gym mat.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between the SR-1 and the SR-1L? A: The SR-1 features a standard 6.75" handle. The SR-1L (Long Handle) features a 7.5" handle, which increases the user's wingspan and provides more surface area for athletes with larger hands.
Q: Can I use a thicker cable with these handles? A: The SR-1 is optimized for a 2.3mm (3/32") speed cable. Using significantly thicker cables may interfere with the bearing swivel mechanism.
Q: Does it come with a warranty? A: Rogue offers a warranty against manufacturer defects. Please note that normal "wear and tear" on the cable (such as fraying from use on abrasive surfaces) is not covered.
