The Jeppesen approach plate for Denver RNP to Runway 26 seems to have an inappropriate speed restriction for the initiation of the RF legs from both sides of the airfield. Both speed restrictions require an 'AT 210 knots;' all other RNP approaches similar in design have 'Below 210 knots.' The use of a hard 'AT 210 knots' for our aircraft means you must be in a manual speed control mode which is not desired for the approach being flown. Clean maneuvering speed (212-215 knots) of the aircraft is typically above the speed requiring the use of flaps and a manual speed window be open; which is a non-standard configuration for this type of approach.  Recommend the approach plate be updated to show 'Below 210' knots max speed at the initial fix.
Air Carrier First Officer reported the Jeppesen approach chart for DEN RNP Runway 26 has an unusual hard speed requirement at the Initial Approach Fix which causes operational issues.
