Maintenance and Care
Surface Restriction: Because the EVO G2 uses uncoated metal cables, it must be used only on rubber mats or smooth indoor flooring. Using this rope on concrete, asphalt, or dirt will cause the cable to fray instantly and may damage the bearing system.
Cleaning: Use a soft brush to clear chalk and sweat from the knurling to maintain the "tacky" grip feel.
Storage: Always store the rope in the provided carrying case. Do not fold or kink the metal cables, as permanent bends will disrupt the rope’s efficiency and flight path.
Lubrication: The dual bearing system is precision-engineered. Keep it dry and free of excessive chalk; it generally does not require external lubrication.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is the EVO G2 suitable for beginners?
A: No. The EVO G2 is a specialized, high-performance competition tool. Due to its extreme speed and lack of cable coating, it is recommended only for advanced athletes who have already mastered their timing and form.
Q: Can I return my EVO G2 if it is the wrong length?
A: No. Because Rx Smart Gear ropes are custom-made to order, they are non-returnable. Please double-check the sizing chart before completing your purchase.
Q: What is the benefit of the "Heavy Metal" cable?
A: The Heavy Metal cable provides slightly more weight and rigidity than the Speed cable. This increased "feedback" is helpful for athletes performing advanced movements like triple or quadruple-unders where knowing the rope's exact position is critical.
Q: Does the color of the handles vary?
A: Due to the anodizing process, slight color variations may occur between production batches.
