New Ropee Freestyle Models: Athlete Handle Brings Unmatched Control

Two significant new releases are coming from Ropee this June:

• Freestyle Fitness 6 mm 2.0 – with Athlete Handle

• The brand new Freestyle Heavy 7 mm – Ropee's first 7 mm PVC rope

Both models feature a fully redesigned, long-awaited tube-style Athlete Handle with handcrafted full-length grip tape. Designed for demanding use, the handle ensures high-level rope sensitivity, precision control, and excellent impact resistance.

A Year of Product Development – And Feedback Speaks for Itself

The Athlete Handle has been in development for over a year. Testers have been primarily combat sports athletes who demand reliability, responsiveness, and durability. The handle's shape has been refined for an ergonomic feel – no compromises.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive:

"The feel of the rope is almost perfect."
"The ergonomics are just right – it feels great in hand."
"This is just fun to jump with. Instantly my favorite."

Freestyle Fitness 6 mm – Now in the Athlete Handle Version

The 6 mm Freestyle has already been a key part of Ropee's rope selection – and for good reason. It's a mid-weight rope with excellent control and just the right amount of resistance for your wrists.

This new 2.0 version takes it further:

• More precise feel thanks to full-length grip

• Extended 3.1 m length – suitable for all heights

• Available in three striking colors: black, neon pink, and mint

New: Ropee Freestyle Heavy 7 mm – When You Need More Resistance

Freestyle Heavy is Ropee's first 7 mm PVC rope. It continues the same philosophy as the 6 mm version: speed and control – but now with more weight and feedback.

This rope is not slow, but it does require more wrist engagement to keep it turning – making it ideal for:

• Combat sports training

• Endurance and strength-based jump rope workouts

• Jumpers who want deeper rhythm and resistance

Available in two colors: black and mint.

Why Athlete Handle Is Different

While many jump rope brands worldwide offer 6 mm and 7 mm PVC ropes, they often use thick silicone handles – which tend to feel bulky and require adjustment with a hex key.

Ropee chose a different path:

• The tube-style handle is lighter, more agile, and provides excellent feedback

• Full-grip wrapping ensures the rope stays secure in hand during high-intensity work

• Snap lock system makes adjusting the length quick and easy – no tools needed

• Ropes come in 3.1 m length, allowing precise fit for taller athletes. Extra length can be cut after adjustment

• Handles come with a lifetime guarantee. The durable PVC ropes hold up to repeated use

Heavier handles often reduce agility – our design maximizes feel, speed, and adjustability even with 7 mm thickness.

"I'm incredibly proud of this development project. It's exciting to launch a completely unique jump rope that can't be replicated."

Launching June 2025

Exact launch date is still to be confirmed, but the release will take place in June.
