Magnum Technora-EliteThis top racing rope is a unique mixture of three materials. In the core is braided Dyneema for excellent strength and low elonga-tion. The inner cover is made from polyester staple to reduce shift-ing 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 FibreA rope that takes advantage of excellent properties of two hi-tech fi bres, Dyneema SK78 and Dyneema SK75 Touch. An im-portant property of Dyneema SK78 fi bre 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 pro-vides the zero cover-to-core slippage to eliminate problems dur-ing the rope passage through pulley systems. Suitable to be used for halyard and where long-lastingheavy loads occur.
