The Impulse (12mm)
Description
SPEED, AGILITY & HIGH-INTENSITY CARDIO
The Impulse is the "Speed Demon" of the FLØ system. If you want to spike your heart rate and move like a fighter, this is your tool.
Engineered with a lean 12mm gauge, it has the lowest inertia in our lineup. This aerodynamic profile allows it to cut through the air with minimal drag, enabling high-speed revolutions (RPM) that torch calories without burning out your shoulders. It’s the closest thing to sprinting with your arms.
Why it’s the ultimate speed tool:
-
High-RPM Aerodynamics: Because it offers less air resistance, you can spin The Impulse faster than any other rope. This makes it perfect for HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) and developing lightning-fast hand speed.
-
Precision Calibrated Length: We custom-cut the rope to your height. At high speeds, precision is everything—a rope that is too long will clip the ground and kill your rhythm. We ensure it fits perfectly.
-
Dutch Maritime Engineering: Despite being light, it is not "floppy." The naval-grade double-braid structure ensures it holds its shape even at maximum velocity, unlike cheap PVC speed ropes that distort in the air.
-
Artisan Hemp Finish: Secure, hand-whipped hemp ends give a special touch. You have a tool filled with performance and craftsmanship.
-
Gym-Floor Ready: Includes our Friction Prevention Kit. Since speed ropes hit the ground more often per minute, this sacrificial tape is essential for protecting the core on abrasive surfaces.
Training Focus
ROPE CARE & MAINTENANCE
Treat your gear right, and it will serve you for a long time.
FLØ ropes are engineered from maritime-grade materials, but they are training tools that take stress. Follow these four rules to maximize the lifespan of your rope.
1. RESPECT THE SURFACE (OR USE PROTECTION)
- The Rule: Abrasion is the enemy. Training on smooth surfaces (gym mats, wood, smooth turf) will keep your rope looking new.
- The Fix: If you train on concrete, asphalt, or driveway pavers, you must apply the included Friction Prevention Kit. This tape acts as a shield for the rope's core. When the tape wears through, you can replace it.
2. NO PERMANENT KNOTS
- The Rule: Never leave a knot in your rope overnight.
- The Why: Knots create pressure points that can deform the braid and ruin the "memory" of the rope, leading to kinks and uneven rotation during your next workout.
3. HAND WASH ONLY
- The Rule: NEVER put your rope in a washing machine or dryer. The heat and tumbling will destroy the internal structure.
- The Method: Submerge in a bucket of lukewarm water with mild soap. Rinse thoroughly. Hang it over a shower rail or clothesline to air dry completely. Keep it away from direct heat sources (radiators) and intense direct sunlight while drying.
4. COIL, DON'T CRUSH
- The Rule: Store your rope loosely coiled in the provided cotton bag.
- The Why: Tightly winding or crushing the rope at the bottom of a gym bag can warp the fibers. Store it in a cool, dry place.
