Overview
The Rogue SR-2 Speed Rope 3.0 is the professional-grade, "ballistic" version of the SR series. Unlike the nylon-handled SR-1, the SR-2 is constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum handles and a high-performance bearing system optimized with high-speed oil. It is designed for competitive athletes who prioritize minimal weight, maximum rotation speed, and a textured grip.
Key Features & Specifications
Handle Material: Aircraft-grade aluminum (tapered design).
Grip: Sandblast textured spindle with a fine-knurled grip for a secure hold even with sweaty hands.
Handle Length: 6.75” (Standard). Note: For a shorter 5.25" handle, see the SR-2S.
Bearing Mechanism: Higher precision bearing swivel system using high-speed oil (replaces traditional grease for faster spin).

Version 3.0 Updates
If a customer is upgrading from a previous model, highlight these key improvements:
Reduced Weight: Handles are 10% lighter than Version 2.0.
High-Speed Oil: Bearings are now lubricated with oil instead of grease to reduce resistance and increase RPMs.
Aluminum Head: The transition from steel to a CNC-machined aluminum head reduces the "swing weight" of the rope.
Sizing and Adjustment Instructions
The SR-2 3.0 requires manual sizing to fit the athlete's height.
Measure: Stand on the middle of the cable with one foot.
Position: Pull the handles toward your chest. For most athletes, the "bottom" of the handles should reach the armpit.
Secure: Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the adjustable set screw at the desired length.
Trim: Use heavy-duty wire cutters to remove excess cable. Leave ~1 inch of cable beyond the screw for future micro-adjustments.
Finish: Cover the exposed wire end with the provided rubber end cap.
Maintenance and Care
Surface Selection: This rope is a "Speed Rope" with a thin coating. To prevent premature cable fraying, only use on rubber gym flooring or a jump rope mat. Use on concrete or asphalt will void the cable's longevity.
Bearing Care: The high-speed oil system is designed for performance. Keep the handles free of chalk and dust. If the spin slows down, a single drop of high-speed machine oil can be applied to the bearing swivel.
Storage: Coil the rope loosely. Do not "kink" the cable by folding it sharply, as this will create permanent bends that disrupt the rope's arc.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between the SR-1 and the SR-2?
A: The SR-1 uses glass-filled nylon handles (plastic), while the SR-2 features aircraft-grade aluminum handles with knurling. The SR-2 is more durable, features a more advanced bearing system, and provides a better grip for high-intensity workouts.
Q: Can I get different colors?
A: Yes. The SR-2 handles are available in several anodized colors including Black, Blue, Red, Silver, and Pink.
Q: My set screw is slipping. What should I do?
A: Ensure the screw is tightened firmly. If it continues to slip, you can find Replacement Set Screws here.
