The Last Rope You'll Need!

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017

I've had several high quality roles in the 35 or so years that jumping rope has been part of my fitness routine, and this is my favorite. It's durable yet very light weight. The handles are comfortable to grip and are well balanced so that spinning really fast is easy. The rope length is easy to adjust so that measuring and cutting are unnecessary. Two ropes are included, with the black being slightly heavier and thicker than the red, so that the black one is slightly slower and easier to spin. But by "slightly," I mean the functional difference between the two is barely noticeable, and both ropes are easy to spin at any speed. The cover on each rope appears to be vinyl and is very resistant to scuffing. After about a year of jumping on a variety of surfaces (including roughly finished exterior concrete), my ropes still look like new.

Cable attachment isn't the best.

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2016

I"m not a huge fan of this after a week's use. The handles are light and comfortable and the ball bearings rotate nice and smoothly (ABEC 7s). It comes with a nice pouch and a second smaller speed rope. My biggest issue is with the way the cable/rope connects to the handle. The cable can only move perpendicularly to the handle. There is no flex and can making jumping awkward at times. Also, even with the cable trimmed all the way down to an appropriate length for my height, I can feel that little bit of extra rotating mass on the other side of the cable clamp at the end of the handle. It's not a terrible rope, but I think there are better choices with full rotating rope/cable attachments.

Nice rope!

Comfortable grip and the bearings make for a smooth spin. Easy to size to the proper length. The wire rope is a good weight for normal jumping. I found the rope can deform somewhat when stored so you may have straighten it prior to jumping. Overall, it is a nice rope, well worth the money.

It's been years since I've even touched a jump rope, felt weird buying it but I needed an alternate to running because of my job (can't leave my office for more than 10 minutes a day total normally) so I figured I'd give this a try. Was delivered on Sunday, used it 10 minutes the night it was delivered and just used it here at the office today for 10 minutes! Exactly what I was looking to achieve, a way to boost my heart rate without having to leave.

Pros:
1) Ball baring swivel (I'm not used to this notion but it makes the jump rope way better than traditional ropes.)
2) You get a PDF exercise guide to follow if you feel so inclined. Said PDF gave me a base on time to set and a routine to follow.
3) Extra rope should you break one or need to replace one. One is red and the other is black!
4) Non slip grips. Reminded me of a soft baseball bat with the way the taping is (if that makes sense.)
5) Carrying case for mess free storage. I was wondering how I was going to keep this rope from causing me to trip when I get up 300 times a day and I know myself I would inevitably leave it somewhere that would snag me like a trap of sorts...haha.
6) A way to adjust the wire to your size which also seaways into my only silly con.

Cons:

1) This wire has a lot of excess for my height. The excess hits my wrists while jumping after adjusting. I'm sure I could cut the excess but if my one co worker wants to use it (he's 6'4'' and I am 5'9'') the wire will not be adjustable to his armpits. ridiculous because it's really not even a con but I have to state this otherwise.

Should I ever break this jump rope, I will promptly replace it.

Perfect rope. Very good for double-under

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016

I am downgrading this to one star. I actually did this on Mar 1st, but I didnt know why this didnt change.

The rope worked fine in the first few months, I really love this rope at that time, it helped me to build my DUs a lot.

But on Mar 1st, when I was training with this rope on a AMAR, one of the bearing came off the handle and the rope flew away, and almost hit the lady next to me.

That's why I downgrade it to one star.

Perfect rope. Very good for double-under. The handle is very well made, making it really comfortable to hold it. I like this rope.

Rope detaches from handles with consistent use

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I wish I would have taken the poor reviews more seriously. The materials are great quality, but the design is flawed. The rope is not securely fastened or built into the handles, it's just sort of stuck into it and relies on some suction to hold it in. You can easily detach the rope from the handle simply by pulling, this means any time you miss a jump and land on top of the rope it tugs the rope out from the handles. This then cause the piece that carries the bearings to crash into the ground and eventually it just breaks altogether. It was a great rope for the first month or so but with sustained use it's guaranteed to break. I used this rope for about a month everyday for about 15 minutes until it started to fall apart, I've been jumping rope for years and don't miss often. I would expect this rope would have a significantly shorter life expectancy for a beginner.

Jump Roping For Days

Not sure how to elaborate on this due in part to it being a jump rope so here we go. The ball bearings in the handles let you jump rope with ease, almost too easy as a matter of fact haha. The handles fit well in my hands, comfortable over long periods of time. This jump rope comes with two different "ropes" one of a thicker variety and the other for possibly a more speedy jump roping techniques. I have had minimal issues with kinking in the rope such far. I do notice slight ware on the rope but I expected that since i jump rope on asphalt. If you're looking for a budget jump rope this may be the one for you.

What's not to like? It's a good quality jump rope that came with a bonus workout guide and an extra cable. If you're looking for a jump rope then go for it!

The only caveat is that the cord may not be as heavy as you want it to be, but it does have enough weight to it that I have no problems swinging it. Note that the product is called a "high speed skipping cable". I think that's quite accurate.

I'm a guy, a bit over 6 feet tall and I haven't had to adjust the length. Note that I do not generally use this on concrete.

So it's great for your joints

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2017

I was skeptical at first. But seeing as I needed to replace my worn out standard gym supplied jump rope type you get at Modell's, I was willing to take a leap. After all, how much of a difference can there actually be. The bottom line is there certainly was a markedly big advantageous difference. I use the BeMaxx as part of my boxing and cardio routine three times a week and it's a sheer pleasure. Specifically, it slices through the air without any high frequency noise some other ropes exhibit, per other product reviews. In addition, it's lightness makes jumping less fatiguing for my left shoulder which I have a slight tear and will get it fixed this month, but that's another story. So it's great for your joints, with less shoulder resistance, not noisy at all, most importantly, let's me get to the business of fitness; which this BeMaxx let's me be a more efficient jumper.

Functional, but of low quality.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought this jump rope in the beginning of January as a replacement for another iffy-quality (but different brand and seller) rope I'd been using. Well, it's the end of February and already the BeMaxx rope is broken. The bearing in one of the handles flew out while in use and the actual ball bearing itself came apart across the floor. The bearings appear to be friction-fit into the handle, with only the plastic and accompanying tape doing the holding. I didn't see any telltale glue crusts. The handles themselves feel like a light ABS plastic, not very suitable for an exercise tool that will inevitably come into swift contact with the floor at least occasionally. Needless to say, my handles both were riddled with large cracks. I may have dropped them as many as 3 times in total before they'd had enough. Those less accustomed to a jump rope workout may find themselves destroying these handles within a single session.

For $5 I could understand the cheap construction, but I'd hope that for almost 3x that the customer could expect a little bit more than a few dimes worth in skate bearings, ABS plastic, and rubberized tape.
