Velites Ballasted Jump Rope for Crosstraining, Boxing and Fitness Fire 2.0 - Ideal for Double Jumping | Aluminum Speed Rope (Ballasts not included)

Good skipping rope, but had to downgrade my rating due to the following reason. During my first proper skipping session, the thread of the little black cap (with the attached allen key) on the handle end is absolutely gone. Therefore the cap cannot be screwed back onto the handle. One can of course use the rope without the cap, but unfortunately the edge of the handle is very sharp, meaning it is uncomfortable skipping like that. Also if one would want to use the handle weights (not included), this would not work any longer.Apart from that, easy to adjust to desired length. Rest of the rope seems of good quality.Price of course is at the upper limit and most likely I would go for a different cheaper brand next time. Sorry guys, but this really should not happen while using it for the first time.

The rope is fantastic, you'll need wire cutters to trim it down to length, leave about 2 inches of slack just in case as well, DO NOT USE ON HARD FLOORS. ALWAYS USE ON A MAT OR SOFT GROUND. the speed you achieve on this rope is insane it's perfect for my burgeoning CrossFit journey as I was finally able to do a double under. Hopefully can take it into sequence rather than doing one and having to reset but the rope is well worth the investment. More expensive than the ones on Amazon but I've tried the ones on Amazon and they're either trash or break way too easily. This is the one. The low reviews are simply people buying this and using it on a hard floor which will cause the plastic coating on the rope to shred but the manufacturer clearly tells you where not to use it.

I have been struggling with DUs for a while now and so decided to buy the Velite Fire 2.0 with the 2.5mm cable - recommended for beginners. I have just started using the ropes and have already improved massively. So happy I made the purchase and look forward to using them in the upcoming Crossfit Games.

The rope was delivered quickly and I found it to be very light and easy to adapt the length to my height. Double-unders are straightforward with this rope, the only downside is that already it is showing signs of wear despite being used on a gym mat. The plastic that is covering the metal has all but disappeared from the part that skims the ground, I suspect it's only a matter of time before the metal starts to fray. We shall see...

Been looking for a rope for over 6 months for crossfit. Was pointed to velites and can honestly say , what a difference. DU's improved and felt really good throughout. Easy to adjust and the locking mechanism is a nice touch. Overalll glad I purchased the velites.

Taking double under to the next level, very fast rope but if you mess up you will know about it and will be marked for a few days afterwards. The ability to add extra weights to the handles is a cracking idea to improve stamina and endurance.Only down side is that the bag that comes with it is flimsy and ripped within a week. Need a proper fabric bag to protect the wire and bearings.

I never got to use them properly - somehow they were just clumsy and too thinly wired. ended up going for a different brand.

Excellent customer service. E-mails updating of dispatched and if i got the product ok if not they would do everything in their power to correct the issue, in the e-mails there is a friendly touch with the customer as priority. Easy to setup to adjust to my height, very light and nice to use. Would highly recommend to friends, family and others.
