LIROS Racer Plus Factors:

• Very low stretch < 1.5% at working load
• High load capacity
• Excellent smooth handling
• Non kinking, balanced braiding
• Excellent holding power in cleats and clutches
• Good Grip around winches
• Solid shape retention around winches - firm, compact braid construction doesn't flatten
• Runs freely through blocks and sheaves
• Spliceable - advanced core dependent splice
• LIROS-Heat-Stretch-System
• LIROS Coating System

LIROS Coating System - polyurethane impregnation process improves resistance to abrasion and protects against UV damage by up to 50%.

N.B. The inner traction layer is not load bearing and a certain amount is removed as part of the core dependent splice.

The Polyester cover can be permanently removed to produce a cover stripped Dyneema core only loop splice.

Snapshackles can then be retrofitted/changed over, attached using a simple a cow hitch - pass the loop through the eye of the shackle, over the top and back down to the rope end.
