Velites Fire 2.0 review

The Velites Fire 2.0 is a speed rope from Velites, a functional fitness brand that also sells hand grips and shoes. Its handles are 37 g aircraft-grade aluminum, a 2 mm cable is included, and the handles also take 1.8 mm and 2.5 mm cables that Velites sells separately. A T-wrench is built into the rope for length changes, and a carry bag comes with it. An optional weight pack adds 25 g, 50 g or 100 g to the handles for strength work. Velites rates the rope from beginner to advanced and pitches it for double unders. The store we could reach from our location showed euro prices only, so we could not confirm a US dollar price and left it pending. The trade-offs: no confirmed USD price, unclear US shipping and returns from the page we saw, and extras cost more. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the rope.
