Magnum Technora-Elite This top racing rope is a unique mixture of three materials. In the core is braided Dyneema for excellent strength and low elongation. The inner cover is made from polyester staple to reduce shifting between the core and cover. The cover is made 50% aramide (Technora) which is highly temperature resistant (melting point 500 °C) and 50% of high tenacity polyester. This combination makes it ideal to use on winches especially during extreme racing.

Enduro Bi Fibre A rope that takes advantage of excellent properties of two hitech fibres, Dyneema SK78 and Dyneema SK75 Touch. An important property of Dyneema SK78 fibre is that it does not creep even under heavy load and provides the high strength of the rope.

Dyneema SK75 Touch contributes to the strength but mainly provides the zero cover-to-core slippage to eliminate problems during the rope passage through pulley systems. Suitable to be used for halyard and where long-lastingheavy loads occur.
