The Rival RJR11 Alu Grip Speed Rope is one of the most capable boxing skipping ropes in Rival's training equipment range. The 10-foot PVC-covered steel cable turns with minimal resistance, giving you the kind of consistent, fast rotation that serious skipping demands. Whether you are building rhythm, conditioning, or working on double-unders, the RJR11 handles it without the drag or snag of a basic rope.
Construction & Materials
The cable is steel, wrapped in a PVC coating that protects it from floor contact and extends its working life. At the core of the aluminium handles sit internal bearings that allow the rope to rotate independently of your grip — this is what separates a proper speed rope from a standard skipping rope. Length adjustment is handled by pushing in at the mouth of the handle to release and reposition the cable, making it quick to set the right length for your height without tools or fuss.
Who Is This For?
The RJR11 suits boxers of any level who want a speed rope that performs without maintenance headaches. It works equally well for the intermediate club boxer building their warm-up routine and the experienced fighter drilling high-cadence skipping sessions. The adjustable cable means it suits a wide range of heights, making it a practical option for coaches equipping a gym with versatile boxing skipping ropes. If you currently use a basic PVC rope and want a genuine upgrade in speed and smoothness, this is the natural next step.
Product questions
What is the Rival Alu Grip Speed Rope?
The Rival RJR11 Alu Grip Speed Rope is an adjustable boxing skipping rope with a 10-foot PVC-covered steel cable and aluminium handles. Internal bearings inside the handles allow the rope to rotate smoothly and independently of your grip, making it well suited to fast, high-cadence skipping. It is part of Rival's training equipment range and designed for consistent performance across bag rounds and conditioning work.
How do you adjust the length on the Rival Alu Grip Speed Rope?
To adjust the cable length, push in at the mouth of the handle — this releases the cable so you can reposition it to your preferred length. No tools are needed, and the mechanism is quick to use between sessions. A general guide is to stand on the centre of the rope and bring the handles up to armpit height.
Is the Rival speed rope suitable for beginners?
The RJR11 works for beginners but is particularly well suited to intermediate and experienced boxers who want a faster, smoother rope. The bearing system and steel cable reward consistent rhythm and technique. Beginners learning to skip may find a heavier or slower rope easier to control initially before stepping up to a speed rope.
How does the Rival Alu Grip differ from a standard boxing skipping rope?
The main difference is the internal bearing system inside the aluminium handles. This allows the rope to spin freely without twisting or tangling, giving a much smoother and faster rotation than a basic PVC or leather rope. The steel cable also maintains its shape and speed better over time compared to a standard plastic rope
Can the Rival RJR11 be used for double-unders?
Yes. The lightweight steel cable and bearing-assisted handles make the RJR11 a capable rope for double-unders. The smooth rotation allows the rope to complete two passes per jump without the drag that heavier or bearing-free ropes produce. Consistent cable tension helps maintain the timing needed for double-under drills.
