Description
The Drag Rope has no swivel, no bearing and nothing to make life easier. It’s just two handles and a piece of polypropylene woven rope with an extremely high drag coefficient. The energy output to rotate the Drag rope is exponential to that of a wire speed rope. The result is one of the best workouts you’ll ever experience due to the constant air resistance.
*Color of rope may vary as a result of the dying process.
*Rope can stretch upwards of 6 inches when in use.
*Tie a knot in the rope near the handle if needed.
Due to the size our heavy ropes does not include a bag. Shop Red Gear Bag or Backpack for easy carry & storage.

FAQ
Some of our most frequently asked questions. Please contact us directly with any other questions you may have.
Take your height and add 3 feet. Round down to the nearest size. Jumping with a shorter drag rope is easier than a longer one. Trust us!
The drag rope has no bearings and little weight in the woven cord making swinging the rope very challenging. It is hard without being heavy. The heavy ropes keep moving once you get them started and only need to be managed. The Drag rope needs to be activally engaged the whole time.
We believe the Drag Rope is the most challenging rope we make. It pushes the user into better form and exhausts every even the best jumpers.
Drag ropes increase workout intensity, recruit more muscle groups, and push your cardiovascular system harder helping you hit your redline faster and build real conditioning.
They train different qualities. Drag ropes build strength and stamina while speed ropes are designed for endurance and agility. Think of them as complementary tools rather than substitutes for each other.
Yes but that is by design. The added weight naturally slows your tempo, you will have to jump higher to get those dubs!
A no spin handle and polypropylene woven rope.
Absolutely. Double unders are very doable with a Drag rope and going with a shorter rope length makes them even easier to pull off.
We always suggest jumping indoor with an RXSG Target Mat or rubber gym flooring.
Always warmup and prepare for your jumping session. Drag rope sessions are intense, make sure you're ready for it by stretching out those calves, feet, wrists and shoulders.
