Product description of the manufacturer
The Speed Rope skipping rope from bemaxx is a high-quality piece of fitness equipment that is ideal for effective training and improving endurance. It has ergonomic handles that provide a comfortable grip and reduce fatigue during training. Thanks to the double swivel professional ball bearings, the rope enables smooth and fast rotation, which increases efficiency when jumping. In addition, two steel ropes of different strengths are used, which offer flexibility in training and allow adjustments to different fitness levels. Another benefit is the free training guide, which provides valuable tips and exercises to get the most out of your training. In addition, users receive a free trial month with the Sumfit app to access additional training resources and plans. One drawback is the plastic packaging of the product, which can be considered detrimental from an environmental perspective.
Advantages
- Ergonomic handles
- Double swivel professional ball bearing
- Two steel cables of different thicknesses
- Free training guide and free trial month with the Sumfit app
Disadvantages

Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The product arrived for our test in a DPD shipping box. Although the box was not in its best condition, it was sturdy and easy to open. Inside the box, the product was packed in a plastic bag, which in our opinion seemed unnecessary as the skipping rope was already well protected in the included carrier bag. This carrier bag was made of air-permeable mesh and had a drawstring clip as a fastener, giving it a sporty touch. A PVC label with the bemaxx logo was emblazoned on the carrier bag. The contents were complete and made a high-quality impression. It also came with detailed instructions in several languages with explanatory pictures to make it easier to use the product.

The visual appearance of the Speed Rope skipping rope from bemaxx impresses with its high-quality look and very sporty and functional design, which is complemented by subtle logo accents on the handles. The workmanship is also very good, both on the handles and on the ropes and spare parts. The ropes are PVC-coated and have a sturdy steel core, which makes them particularly robust. In terms of stability, the handles are sturdy and non-slip, while the ball bearings are also highly stable. The cable protectors serve to protect the cables from wear and tear on rough surfaces, which supports the durability of the product. Although there is no specific information on the sustainability of the product, the use of high-quality materials is emphasised, resulting in a long-lasting product.
