Our verdict
An adjustable speed rope from Rival with lightweight aluminium handles on a PVC-covered steel cable: a step up from the plain plastic handles of Rival's Econo rope.
Rival's own UK site confirms a 10-foot PVC-covered steel cable with lightweight aluminium handles, adjustable for users of all heights, and lists the rope as product code RJR11. Geezers Boxing, a retailer on Rival's own authorised-retailer list, sells it at Rival's own list price.
Boxers who want a lighter, faster-turning rope than the basic Rival Econo, with aluminium handles, and don't need the Rival Weighted Jump Rope's extra resistance.
You want added resistance for conditioning (see the Rival Weighted Jump Rope), or a bearing mechanism, which Rival does not describe.
Pros
- A PVC-covered steel cable with lightweight aluminium handles
- Pitched by Rival for "lightning-fast speeds", with handles a step up from the basic Econo rope's plastic
Cons
- Rival describes no rotation or bearing mechanism beyond its "flawless rotations" wording
Why we rated it this way
Protection (Not rated): Protection doesn't apply to a skipping rope.
Comfort (3): The aluminium handles are an upgrade on plain plastic, but otherwise this is the normal standard for a speed rope. Rival describes no bearing or rotation mechanism.
Materials & Construction (3): Rival states a PVC-covered steel cable and aluminium handles. The aluminium handles are a step up, but overall this is the normal build for a speed rope.
Value (3): A mid-range price for a PVC-covered steel speed rope with aluminium handles, which is what ropes at this price normally offer.
