Overview of the Rapid fit 

 
The Rapid fit jump rope is a good speed rope which is manufactured by RX Smart gear. It comes with bearing and a pop and lock function for the cable to be adjusted at the handles. This makes it a good option when you do not have a lot of people doing double unders in parallel, but still many individuals at different times in the day who need to adjust the rope to their needs. The specifics of the Rapid fit are: 
 
  • Dual Bearing Speed Rope
  • Ergonomic Grip-Friendly Handles in Black with Red logos
  • Push-button cable re-sizing feature
  • Buff 3.4 oz. Cable: PVC-coated, Aircraft-grade
  • Option of Standard Red Cable (8’4” to 9’0”) or Long Black Cable (9’0” to 9’8”)
 
 

Pros of the Rapid fit 

 
The biggest pro of the Rapid fit is that you do not need to buy as many cables or jump ropes to accommodate different needs. While this is irrelevant for your own home gym and can become a problem in a busy affiliate gym. 
 

Cons of the Rapid fit 

 
The pop and click mechanism makes the whole feeling of the swing for double unders less smooth than with permanent solutions. The mechanics can also break or lose their tightness when used often. 

 

Alternatives to the Rapid fit 

 

Alternatives to the Rapid fit jump rope 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 of the Rapid fit 

 
Good for home use for the entire family or in a gym where bit many do double unders in parallel. An affiliate gym might be better of buying multiple SR3 for the price of this. A home warrior probably might get more out of the SR2 Fraser or Bridges edition.
