Teufelberger Tachyon Cotton Candy 11.5mm Climbing Rope
Thanks to its unparalleled feel and its exceptional performance, Teufelbeger Tachyon is ideal for use with the latest mechanical systems. The Tachyon from Teufelberger is one of the most successful climbing ropes among the 24-strand ropes. 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.
Important: 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 we don't recommend putting two eyes on a brand new double braid rope.
Details
The rope diameter of 11.5 mm is ideal for tree care operations. It ensures a better grip, thus reducing hand fatigue. Tachyon is certified to EN 1891A as well as ANSI Z133-2012. It works perfectly in combination with standard hardware designed for use with 11.5 mm ropes.
Teufelberger Tachyon excels due to:
- 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

MRS!
A short length with a splice is a great MRS rope. Feels great and super smooth!
Pink Power
Best all around rope I have ever used. Good on srs and Mrs but prefer on Mrs. Took me a while to master the splife but now that I have it’s one of my favorite splices as well!
Nice Rope Nice Color
Tachyon is a light and versitile rope. Smooth enough for hitches and devices, and bouncy enough to still be used in any climbing technique. I like to have bright ropes so I don't hit them with my saw, and so my ground guys don't tangle them up in brush and drag them to the chipper. This color specifically I tend to use with my lanyard because it costs a bit more per foot.
