SR-2 Ballistic Speed Rope
The SR-2 is a heavy-duty speed rope built in the USA, featuring 6.75-inch tapered handles and a high-speed ball-bearing swivel. It is designed for maximum durability in high-traffic commercial gym environments.
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.
