The Beal Spélénium 8.5 mm Unicore Rope is a semi-static Type B rope designed for caving and spelunking in challenging conditions. Its lightweight and flexible design makes it particularly suitable for lighter users and those requiring enhanced maneuverability. The rope features Beal's Unicore technology, which permanently bonds the core and sheath, improving durability and safety. This bonding process also reduces water shrinkage by over 50% compared to standard ropes, ensuring consistent performance in wet environments.
- Lightweight and Flexible: At 8.5 mm in diameter and weighing 48 grams per meter, the Spélénium offers excellent manageability, especially for lighter users.
- Unicore Technology: The core and sheath are permanently bonded, enhancing abrasion resistance and preventing sheath slippage.
- Reduced Water Shrinkage: The rope's design minimizes water-induced shrinkage by more than 50% compared to standard ropes.
- Enhanced Safety: The Unicore process ensures that even if the sheath is damaged, the core remains intact, maintaining the rope's integrity.
