What else to consider from Rogue

Overview of the Rogue Pro Aluminium

 
This is the Aluminium version of the Rogue Pro Jump Rope which combines the benefits of a speed rope with those of a heavy rope. The Aluminium version is slightly lighter and more cost-efficient than its big brother. The specifications of this rope are: 
 
  • Made in the USA
  • Knurled Aluminum Handles: 5.95" long, 1" diameter
  • Cable: 3.2MM (0.125") thick grey nylon
  • Recommend the 3.2MM Adjustable Screws
  • Cable Length: 120" with manual adjustments to any custom length
  • Etched Rogue branding
  • Bearing system with swivel design
 

Pros of the Rogue Pro Aluminium 

 
If you are interested in the benefits of the Rogue Pro but want to save some money your money, this is the place to go. 
 

Cons of the Rogue Pro Aluminium 

 
If you want to go as fast as possible it might not be the best rope. Also, if you already go high end, why compromise on the last inches. You might as well get the steel version.
 

Alternatives to the Rogue Pro Aluminium 

 
Alternatives to the Rogue Pro Aluminium are: 
 
 
The SR3 jump rope is the bread and butter model in the CrossFit community. If you are annoyed with the jump rope from the local shop and want to start with double unders, this is the one for you. It is part of many of the Rogue equipment packages and can also be bought in bulk to outfit an affiliate or college gym. 
 
The SR1 jump rope is an alternative to get a bearing jump rope on the cheap. The SR1 also has bearing to make the rope run smoothly but the handles are not made of Aluminium. This makes them lighter and more cost-efficient at the expense of being easier to break. 
 
The Rogue Pro Jump Rope is the ultimate jump rope from Rogue. It combines the speed of the speed ropes with the weight of heavy ropes to create the most challenging and satisfying jump rope experience from Rogue. This product is also fully manufactured in the States. Apart from the price, there is nothing bad to be said about it since its first appearance at the CrossFit 2016 games. 
 
 

Summary for the Rogue Pro Aluminium 

 
The Rogue Pro Aluminium has all the best Rogue has to offer and combines a heavy rope with a speed rope. Still, if you are in the market and willing to spend this much on a jump rope you might as well get the steel version.

Pros of the Buddy Lee 

 
The Buddy Lee Jump Rope Design makes it easy to change jump ropes without having to use a screwdriver. The ropes also come in many colors for more fun to be had. Paired with very fast-spinning, this can be a good purchase for the serious athlete.
