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
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.

-
NEW Color Options: Black, Steel Blue, Chili Pepper Red

Standard Clear Coated Cable – 12’ (adjustable)

-
Applications: Faster double-unders, triple-unders and lower WOD times

Not everyone is a fan of Aluminium handles and therefore might want to go for a different jump rope. As the speed rope has bushing it will also not spin as smoothly as alternatives with bearing.
