Quality & Materials

Features CNC-machined aluminum handles with a sandblast finish for grip. Uses a high-quality 3/32" red coated speed cable.

Evidence & Testing

Rogue's equipment is the standard for the CrossFit Games. While not 'clinically' tested, the SR-2's performance in high-stress competition environments serves as proof of its mechanical integrity.

Brand Transparency

Rogue is exceptionally transparent about manufacturing, stating this product is built in the USA (Columbus, Ohio) with full material specifications available.

Value Assessment

Priced at $45, it is significantly cheaper than the RPM Session4 while offering similar high-end aluminum construction, making it an incredible value for a US-made product.

Why Not Alternatives?

Unlike the RPM which focuses on pure speed, the SR-2 is built for 'ballistic' durability. The handles are more substantial and the bearing housing is reinforced, making it less likely to break if dropped on concrete compared to thinner aluminum competitors.
