A SOLUTION FOR ALL WEIGHT CATEGORIES!
Whilst designing our trampoline, it was important to make it as gentle and flexible possible for every user, because on the one hand the result of exercising on a trampoline comes when braking on the mat – and the longer the brake path, the greater the effect on the body – whilst on the other hand it’s just far more fun to bounce and jump on a really flexible trampoline.
It soon became clear that we wouldn’t be able to achieve this equally for all weight categories with only one rope ring variation, so we developed rope rings with different strengths and a patented system to go with it so that now our rope ring trampolines could easily be adjusted to the individual user’s weight. This way we could ensure that every person could swing gently, without bouncing too far and touching the floor.
The bellicon® and bellicon® premium now offer you the choice of 5 different rope ring variations. To be able to differentiate, you only have to look at the color of the fastening clips on the rope rings. Using the following chart, simply find the one that suits you and your purpose:

If, despite looking at this chart, you’re still not completely happy with the elasticity chosen then it’s not a big problem as the rope rings are very easy to exchange at a later stage.
Please be aware: due to the more ordinary bouncing mat, the medi-Swing is only suitable for users up to 120 kg.
WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE SHARING THE TRAMPOLINE
Very often we are asked: “which strength is the right one for me? I weigh 58 kg, my husband weighs 85 kg and the children about 30 kg.”
When several people with different weights wish to share a bellicon, then they should go by the heaviest person using the trampoline when choosing the rope rings, so that nobody swings through to the floor when exercising. In our example above, the recommended rope ring strength would therefore be 90 kg.
