PREMIUM SPEED JUMP ROPE
2708 Premium Speed Jump
For jump rope training, Sidea offers two models made with PVC-coated steel wire cables:
- 2708 Premium Speed Jump Rope Ø 2.5 mm
- 2703 Control Jump Rope Ø 5 mm
The two ropes meet different technical needs. The main difference lies in the cable diameter, but the handle structure, rotation smoothness, and the type of use for which each model was developed also play a role.
The 2708 Premium Speed Jump Rope Ø 2.5 mm was created for more specialized use. It is a rope designed for those seeking maximum rotation speed, high work frequency, and greater exercise intensity.
In recent years, the rise of functional fitness and hybrid racing training and competitions—such as CrossFit®, HYROX®, and ATHX®—has made high-performance speed ropes increasingly common. In this type of context, the priority is not ease of learning, but movement efficiency at high speed.
The 2.5 mm diameter coated steel cable reduces resistance during rotation and allows for a very high frequency. The rope is fast, light, and responsive, suitable for exercises like double unders, HIIT sequences, and high-intensity work.
However, this increased speed requires more precise technique. A speed rope is less visible during rotation and offers less feedback compared to a larger diameter rope. Consequently, the user must already possess good coordination, wrist control, and the ability to maintain a steady cadence even at high speeds.
The 2708 is therefore recommended for experienced athletes or users who have already mastered basic technique and want to increase the intensity, speed, and complexity of their training. It is a high-performance rope but less forgiving: timing errors are harder to correct and can more easily break the continuity of the exercise.
Control 2703 and Speed 2708: Two Ropes, Two Technical Functions
The difference between the 2703 Control Jump Rope Ø 5 mm and the 2708 Premium Speed Jump Rope Ø 2.5 mm is not a simple difference in diameter. They represent two distinct technical approaches.
The 2703 Control Jump Rope prioritizes control, rotation perception, and technical progression. It is the most suitable choice for learning, improving coordination, training continuously, and building a solid foundation.
The 2708 Premium Speed Jump Rope prioritizes speed, responsiveness, and performance. It is recommended for those who already possess good technique and want to work on fast, intense, and high-frequency exercises.
Both belong to the jump rope family, but they meet different needs:
control and technical progression with the 2703; speed and performance with the 2708.
Why Sidea Did Not Choose Beaded Ropes
Beaded ropes, constructed with segments or beads along the cable, are often proposed as beginner ropes because they are slow, visible, and easily perceived during rotation.

After various tests, Sidea chose not to develop this solution. Beaded ropes are interesting from an aesthetic standpoint and offer a highly readable rotation, but they tend to be excessively slow and not very suitable for real technical progression. Their behavior is closer to that of heavy or strongly slowed-down ropes, reducing the fluidity of the movement and limiting the transition towards faster and more efficient executions.
Sidea’s choice was therefore to develop a control rope with a Ø 5 mm coated steel cable: a more technical, evolutionary solution that is more consistent with a progressive learning path. The 2703 offers control and ease of use, but maintains a sufficiently responsive structure to accompany the user even beyond the initial phase.
