Overview
The Rogue Rx Jump Rope is the industry standard for functional fitness and double-under progression. Unlike "one-size-fits-all" ropes, the Rx rope features a patented multi-directional swivel axis bearing system and is custom-built to the athlete’s specific height and skill level. It is designed to provide high-quality feedback, making it the premier choice for athletes learning or mastering double-unders.

| Ultra | 1.8 oz | Advanced. A hybrid speed cable for athletes performing 60+ unbroken double-unders. |
| Hyper | 1.3 oz | Expert. The fastest cycle rate; requires extreme proficiency and high-speed efficiency. |

Maintenance and Care
-
Surfaces: To prevent the PVC coating from wearing down, use only on rubber mats or gym flooring. Use on concrete, asphalt, or dirt will significantly shorten the cable's lifespan and void the warranty.
-
Storage: Never fold or kink the cable. Roll it into a 6–8 inch circle and use the original twist ties to secure it.
-
Inspection: Regularly check the cable for exposed wire. If the PVC coating is torn, replace the cable immediately to avoid injury.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I adjust the length of my Rx Jump Rope?
A: No. Rx ropes are custom-cut to a fixed length. If you need a different size, you must purchase a Replacement Rx Cable.
Q: My handles feel "gritty." Can I oil them?
A: The bearings are industrial-grade and generally do not require lubrication. Ensure no chalk or debris has entered the swivel head. Do not submerge the handles in water.
Q: Why is my cable coiling or tangling?
A: This usually happens if the rope was stored improperly. Lay the rope flat in the sun for 15 minutes to allow the PVC to warm up and return to its natural shape.
