Tachyon by Teufelberger/Treemagineers

A super-lightweight climbing line from Teufelberger (formerly New England Ropes). Tachyon is a 24 strand 11.5mm spliceable braid, and with it's bright new colouring of Lime Green with Black & White is very easy to see in the tree and handles great.

Very popular with competition climbers. Tachyon has a tough UV and abrasion resistant sheath over the New England developed 'dual core' of nylon surrounding polyolefin inner core strands. This means better strand definition and a firm, round shape which improves friction hitch performance and also works very well when using mechanical devices - unlike other 11 mm ropes. The 11.5 mm diameter and firm, round cross section improves grip and reduces hand fatigue without the weight or bulk of other 13mm ropes.
