Performance Benefits

Full Suspension Training: Provides a dynamic, unstable environment to dramatically improve upper body and core strength, joint alignment, and overall balance.
Versatile Environment Use: Unlike wood rings, the steel and powder-coat construction makes these highly resilient for both indoor and outdoor setups.
Exceptional Grip: The specialized black powder-coat finish offers a secure grip on its own but is also textured specifically to hold lifting chalk effectively.
Maintenance and Care
Matting Recommendation: Whenever the user is off the ground, appropriate protective matting should be placed below the rings to ensure safety.
Avoid Shackles: To prevent excessive wear and fatigue failure, rings and straps should never be rigged or used with metal shackles.
Strap Inspection: Gymnastic ring straps are wear-and-tear consumable items. Regular inspection of the nylon for fraying or structural damage is imperative for user safety. Discard and replace straps if any damage is found.
Moisture Management: While they have a zinc phosphate undercoating, it is best practice to keep the rings dry to prolong the life of the powder-coat finish and prevent internal rust. If water enters the small drilled holes, allow them to drain and dry fully.
Warranty Information
Steel Rings: Backed by a Lifetime Warranty against breaking.
Ring Straps: Classified as a consumable product and are warrantied for 1 year from the date of purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do the straps have measurement markings on them?
A: No, the standard Rogue ring straps do not have measurement markings. They rely on the heavy-duty cam buckle for infinitely adjustable, customized heights.
Q: Can these be used outdoors?
A: Yes! Because they are made of powder-coated steel rather than wood, they are much better suited for outdoor rigs or hanging from secure tree branches.
Q: How do I deal with the extra strap length hanging down?
A: The 16' straps come equipped with VELCRO® brand fasteners specifically designed to let you neatly roll up and secure the excess strap out of your way.
Q: What is the small hole drilled on the inside of the rings for?
A: The small hole is a necessary part of the manufacturing process to allow gases to vent during the hand TIG welding and powder-coating processes.
