The skipping rope from BeMaxx arrived in a simple and transparent plastic packaging. Packed in a practical storage bag, it contains the skipping rope together with the accessories, which consist of another rope, spare screws and rubber covers as well as an instruction manual with a link to the digital training guide.
Product protection is guaranteed as the skipping rope does not have any special requirements. However, a more sustainable alternative to the plastic film used would be desirable.
The enclosed instructions for use are available in several languages – including German and English – and are clear and easy to understand. Overall, the first impression of the product is very good.

The skipping rope from BeMaxx impresses in practical tests with its ease of use and great flexibility.
The length can be adjusted quickly and easily thanks to an intuitive system with a screw. If you want to permanently shorten the rope for smaller people, you can use a side cutter to make adjustments if necessary. Although this flexibility makes it particularly practical for users of different heights and training needs, this measure is unfortunately irreversible.
The ergonomics of the skipping rope make a decisive contribution to comfort. The non-slip handles are comfortable to hold and sturdy. Their round shape is free of irregularities so that the rope remains securely in the hand even during intensive training. The texture of the handles ensures a good grip and allows you to maintain control even during longer training sessions without tiring your hands.
The noise level is another plus point of this skipping rope. Even at higher speeds or during intensive workouts , it remains quiet, which is particularly pleasant during indoor training as it does not make any disturbing noises. This is a major advantage over conventional skipping ropes, which often rattle or squeak when used quickly.
In the functional test, the skipping rope proved to be extremely versatile and fully functional on various surfaces. It was tested on training mats, wood, concrete and even grass and performed reliably on all surfaces. The ball bearings ensure that the rope rotates evenly, which enables smooth jumping, regardless of the ground conditions.
Storage of the skipping rope is particularly practical thanks to the bag supplied. The compact bag is suitable for the rope and all spare parts, making it easy to store and transport. This means that the skipping rope can be taken anywhere and is always well stowed away.
Overall, this skipping rope offers an excellent combination of comfort, adaptability and versatility. The quiet use, ergonomic handles and the ability to use it on different surfaces make it an ideal training tool for beginners and advanced users.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. In individual cases, there are criticisms that the rope shows weak points on the ball bearing after prolonged use. On the other hand, the elegant and functional design and the helpful customer service are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant and functional design of the rope was well received by customers. In our test, we were unable to verify consumers’ criticism of its durability.
Prices of up to €32.49 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €9.99 . The skipping rope from BeMaxx is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €16.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
