Overview of the SR2 Fraser

 
The Rogue SR 2 Fraser speed rope comes customized with HWPO ingrained in it. The is short for his motto “Hard work pays off”. The SR 2 has bearing for a faster spin and Aluminium handles. This gives it a different feel compared to the SR1 and SR3 jump ropes from Rogue. The specifications of this jumbo rope are: 
 
  • Made in the USA
  • Inspired by Rogue athlete and Fittest Man on Earth, Mat Fraser
  • 5.25" Red Anodized Handles: Aircraft grade aluminum construction, knurl-textured grip (0.625" diameter)
  • HWPO logo on handle knurl
  • 2.3MM Nylon Coated Black Speed Cable (120" length)
  • Bearing Swivel for omnidirectional movement
  • Adjustable end
  • Recommend only for use on rubber or non-abrasive surfaces
 
It is also one lower-cost options for American made jump ropes from Rogue, if the origin of the products is of special importance to you.
 
 

Pros of the Fraser SR 2 

 
The SR 2 has bearing and Aluminium handles. This makes it a good rope to be used with chalk for double unders. If you drop your jump rope often and it is likely that people will step on it, this is a good low-cost option that will take the beating. 
 

Cons of the Fraser SR2

 
If you want to do trick jumps or you are more interested in the strength rather than conditioning benefits of jump rope training this might not be for you. In this case, you might want to get the Rogue Pro Jump Rope or heavy jump rope instead. 
 

Alternatives to the SR2

 
Alternatives to the SR2 jump rope can be 
 
 
The SR3 series jump rope is part of many rogue equipment packages and the best starter jump rope in terms of value for money when it comes to double unders. They are also a cost-efficient option to buy in bulk for your affiliate gym. 
 
The Rogue Heavy Jump Rope is a good alternative if you are into martial arts training. The heavier rope spins slower and trains your muscles more effectively. It is also a good option for trick jumps a la Muhammad Ali.
 
The Porsche among the Rogue jump ropes is the Rogue Pro Jump Rope. It combines the benefits of the heavy jump ropes with the speed needed for double unders. Introduced at the 2016 CrossFit games it makes a good investment for committed individuals. 
 

Summary of the SR2 

 
The Rogue SR2 Fraser edition is a good option if you prefer Aluminium without breaking the bank with a bit of style. I personally like the slogan “Hard work pays off” a lot. If you don’t like the color or handles you can also go for the Bridges version of these.
