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.
