What is the Fire 2.0 jump rope designed by Velites?
The **Fire 2.0** from VELITES is a speed jump rope designed for jump training focused on single unders, double unders and cardiovascular conditioning.
It’s intended for athletes who train CrossFit, HYROX, boxing and general fitness, and who are looking for an efficient, adjustable and durable tool.
Its design allows you to **adapt speed and control** according to the user’s level, facilitating both learning and technical improvement in regular training and high‑volume sessions.
Is this VELITES rope suitable for beginners?
Yes, the **Fire 2.0** is **suitable for beginners**, especially when used with a thicker cable, such as the 2.5 mm option.
This configuration provides greater control and feedback, helping you feel the rope’s rotation better and develop rhythm.
As the athlete progresses, they can **switch to thinner cables to increase speed**, without needing to change ropes or replace their main tool.
Is it suitable for learning double unders?
The **official VELITES Fire 2.0** is specifically designed to facilitate the **learning and improvement of double unders**.
Thanks to the possibility of changing cable thickness and adjusting the configuration, the athlete can tailor speed and feedback to their level.
This allows gradual progression, improved consistency and the development of solid technique. It is a **recommended option** both for beginners and for those looking to refine their performance.
Is it a weighted jump rope?
No, **the Fire 2.0 is not a weighted jump rope per se**. Its primary goal is speed, efficiency and rhythm in jumping.
However, at VELITES we designed it to **allow adding optional weights** in the handles to increase muscular feedback or speed up warm‑ups.
Even with weights, it remains a rope oriented toward technical and cardiovascular work, not heavy‑resistance strength training.
Is it suitable for CrossFit training?
Yes, the official VELITES Fire 2.0 is specifically designed for CrossFit training and is one of the most used ropes in WODs that include single unders and double unders.
Its smooth rotation, reliable adjustment and durability make it suitable for frequent, high‑volume training. Additionally, **the FIRE 2.0 from VELITES is the official rope of the CrossFit Games®**, which reinforces its common use in this type of functional training.
Can it be used in HYROX training?
Yes, **the Fire 2.0 is suitable for HYROX training** and it is also **the official rope for Hyrox**.
It is used by athletes who seek consistency, rhythm and reliability in cardiovascular conditioning sessions.
Its design allows maintaining stable performance in demanding workouts where double unders are a regular part of the work, without compromising durability or the sense of control during use.
Is it adjustable to any height?
Yes, **the Fire 2.0 is adjustable to any height**.
All cables measure 3.5 meters and can be easily adjusted using the integrated regulation system. This allows athletes of different heights to use the same rope without issues.
**The adjustment is quick, precise and stable**, ensuring the length stays consistent during training and the user experience remains reliable.
What warranty does VELITES offer as designer and manufacturer for the Fire 2.0?
The **Fire 2.0 includes a 3‑year warranty** on the handles, covering manufacturing defects under normal use.
The cable is not covered by the warranty, as it is a consumable component subject to natural wear.
Cable lifespan depends on training frequency and the type of surface used; training on rubber floors or a mat is recommended.
Can I use different setups depending on my level?

1.8 mm cable for maximum speed
2.5 mm cable for greater control, muscular feedback, and learning
**All cables are 3.5 meters long**, allowing athletes of any height to use the rope. They are fully adjustable.
**Adjustment system**
The Fire 2.0 uses a simple three-step adjustment system.
The T-wrench is integrated inside the handle, so it is never lost. This allows fast and precise adjustments even if you frequently change cables between trainings.
**Rotation
**The rotation system is designed to provide smooth and consistent spin, which is especially important during long trainings and high-volume double unders.
**Durability**
Handles are designed to last for many years
The cable is the only wear component
Very heavy users may replace the cable every 7 to 8 months depending on surface
Most athletes replace the cable approximately once per year with 3–4 trainings per week
**Training surface
**The Fire 2.0 can be used indoors and outdoors.
To extend cable life, rubber gym flooring is recommended.
**Important:** hard and rough surfaces significantly reduce cable durability. Using a **[jump rope mat](https://eu.velitessport.com/products/jump-mat)** helps preserve the cable.

What athletes say about the Fire 2.0
“I bought it to learn double unders and it made a huge difference. I started with the 2.5 mm cable and now use the 2 mm cable for volume trainings. The rotation feels very stable.”
“I used cheap jump ropes before and the difference was noticeable from day one. It does not tangle, does not vibrate, and adjusting it is very easy. I use it for CrossFit (WOD) trainings 4–5 times per week.”
“After trying several jump ropes, this one has lasted the longest. The cable holds up well and the handles still feel like new. Worth it if you train consistently.”
“I highly recommend it for double unders. It is not a freestyle rope, but for rhythm and efficiency it is one of the best I have used.”
“I am tall and usually struggle with rope adjustments. With this one, it was easy. The adjustment system is simple and stays tight during trainings.”
