Bare Cable
In the meantime, visit our store locator to find a retailer near you and shop RPM Training in-store.
Our fastest cable option, the Bare Cable, comes standard on our Comp rope. And while speed takes priority here, there are some trade-offs in durability when compared to the Coated Cable.
You may need to replace the Bare Cable a bit more often, and you will only be able to use the Bare Cable on rubber gym flooring or similarly smooth surfaces.
In addition, our Colored Bare Cables are slightly different than the basic "Steel" in fabrication and color processing and, therefore, may feel slightly different in your hands, but their performance while jumping is virtually indistinguishable.
*NOTE: Due to the color treatment process of all colors besides "Steel", there may be a few small marks present or a slight curve in the cable when received. These WILL NOT affect the performance of the cable while jumping. However, if this is something you feel you may find unacceptable, we suggest sticking to the Steel color only. Thanks!

Trying to decide between cables? Read this...
There are a few factors to consider when deciding which cable option is best for you.
If speed is your top priority, you're an efficient jumper who's training indoors on rubber flooring, and you don't mind changing your cable a little more frequently, then the bare cable is perfect for you.
However, if durability and versatility are your top priorities, and you'd prefer a longer span between cable replacements, then the Coated or Scout cables are probably better options, just keep in mind that the Scout cable is heavier by design and is ONLY compatible with the Scout handles.
Also, while any option will accommodate any skill level, beginners often prefer the feedback that the Coated and Scout cables provide for learning timing and rhythm, as well as the durability they offer through the learning process.
My favorites. It’s light and easy!
No online ordering for any cables?????
Bare cable is great and thin. Love it!
Not sure how they fray but it’s nice to always have a spare, or three.
The cable works well, I bought to replace my old cable that got frayed.
The cables were a gift to my daughter. She is very happy with them. They were a bit slow to arrive, but thankfully they made it before Christmas.
Very fast, resistance is low, and I do not fatigue nearly as soon. Buy it today!
As requested and high quality parts.
The first one I had unraveled when I cut the rope to my correct length. I bought more intense wire cutters and it did work better, but started to unravel but was still usable. Also it got a kink in it literally the first time I wrapped it and put it in the little bag it came in. I would recommend storing it in a place where you don't have to coil it.
It is a fast rope but not worth the hassle in my opinion.
This rope is the fastest rope I have ever used. Easiest to turn over and requires the least work to perform in a WOD. I love it.
I workout in my garage a lot when I’m not at the gym and the bare cable holds up pretty well on concert driveway or sidewalks when I’m camping. It’s so much faster than my coated rope, would recommend and would not buy another rope now
Amazing quality
I really want to love this bare cable. It is super lightweight and spins to perfection. Unfortunately, there’s one big problem and that’s the unraveling. I cut the cable to my desired length and installed it on my handles. I used it without issue one time. The following week, I went to use the cable and one side (the cut side) came undone and was sharp and caught on everything. I ended up having to shorten the cable to cut off the raw edge again. After that wod, I could see that once again the cable is unraveling. I plan to try electrical tape to bind it, but maybe some sort of caps would be beneficial. I cannot cut any more of the cable or it will be way too short. I think it’s already pushing it as it is. I’m a little bummed, but I might just have to go back to a coated cable.
Meets and exceeds expectations
The replacement has kept its form and seems to be doing great. I've only had it a month or two but seems to be very high quality!
Only rope I will use.
Really high quality
I love this cable. I have the RPM speed rope I do 100 double under in 60 seconds. It’s my favorite it’s light and easy to handle. It’s the best rope I’ve ever used.
I really like the bare metal cable for my workouts. I use them once a week in my concrete garage and they last a long time.
I could not find the slimmer faster rope
I used the same o/n I purchased last time and got the uncoated rope, but it’s fatter
Great product! Super wonderful customer service too!!
This is the ONLY rope I'll buy, tried and true.
It’s good just as instructions say don’t use this on concrete only rubber mats.
Shipping was very fast. Great cable. Wears very well.
The bare cable is durable and very fast, which takes a little getting used to. It takes very little effort to get the bare cable spinning and it gets on top of you quickly. In other words, your feet have to catch up to your hands.
I would have given the cable a 5 star rating, but the ends tend to fray and pull out of the handle even when tightened down as much as possible. Might be able to avoid the issue with a bit of soldering on the cut end.
I love my RPM replacement cable. This is the only rope I can do double unders with. Highly recommend using this brand of jump rope.
Great product, works as it should
Don’t buy anything else, nothing compares to the bare cable.
So fast.
Very fast has a little weight to it good rope
I never got the product. Called and email and got no response. Pretty shady if you ask me
Been using this for years. I can speed up or slow down - it’s great. Stings if you miss but they all do. It’s as fast as any rope I’ve used. I do miss the coated (colored) bare cables - that’s my one suggestion.
The best, high quality
Great product it gets the job done when double unders are programmed!!
This is not the first time I have purchased a replacement cable. Previously they were great. They changed the cable and it is not as good as the previous ones available
