Described as the ‘do everything, go anywhere rope’, this is the fourth version of RPM’s speed rope and it really does elicit serious speed, ideal for crushing double-unders or even triple-unders. As well as being fast, RPM says that this is their strongest rope yet.

Made for use indoors or on a soft mat, the RPM Session 4.0 does require a bit of handy work to nail the correct length. You’ll need the included hex wrench and a pair of cable cutters, so any length changes will be permanent. After cutting the rope, thread it through the appropriate holes in the handle and tighten with the wrench.

The cable flows comfortably when skipping and the aluminium handles offer a good grip.

The RPM is a little harder to pack away than other ropes as the steel doesn’t really bend much. However, it does come with a microfibre bag which makes it easier to carry around.

As well as feeling smooth, the RPM looks the part. Its handles come in a choice of gold, blue, red or black, as well as a five-year guarantee.
