Teufelberger Tachyon GBW 11.5mm Climbing Rope
Thanks to its unparalleled feel and its exceptional performance, Tachyon is ideal for use with the latest mechanical systems. Tachyon is provided with a firm yet flexible construction. It consists of a polyester cover which significantly improves friction hitch performance without “bagginess”. The core consists of a polyamide inner core. This inner core construction keeps the diameter consistent, even in the loaded state. The rope diameter of 11.5 mm is ideal for tree care operations. It ensures a better grip, thus reducing hand fatigue. It works perfectly in combination with standard hardware designed for use with 11 mm ropes.
Please Note: The cover on most new double braid ropes will stretch during the first few weeks of use. The excess cover should be cut off. For this reason, Arbsession doesn't recommend putting two eyes on a brand new double braid rope.
Details
- Low stretch at low loads for less bounce while climbing
- High stretch at high loads thus minimizing the shock effect in the event of a fall
- Consistent diameter while climbing thus ensuring an improved grip
- Great ease of splicing

Customer Questions
Teufelberger states this is an 11.5mm rope. Looks like we had a typo in the description.
A tight eye hand splice is just a typical class 1 double braid splice.
A sewn eye is a termination that is generated with an industrial sewing machine.
A spLIFE termination is a mechanical passible splice. Another way to explain it is a consistant diameter splice.
Same as the ASH
