Description
Unleash swing speed with the CARBOFLEX 130 X-TOP V2!
The squash racket CARBOFLEX 130 X-TOP V2 has been designed to maximise each player’s swing speed. Ideal for advanced competitors and regular players, it stands out for its power. Thanks to JUMBO SHAFT technology, this reinforced monoshaft racket generates power directly from its structure.
With a 500 cm² head size, it offers a perfect balance between power and stability. Its stringing with Dynamix VP, a polyurethane multifilament, is the most responsive from the Tecnifibre brand, providing greater feel and reactivity to players seeking maximum power.
The CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 range pushes the boundaries of innovation with its patented X-TOP technology. The bumper, usually made of plastic, has been removed and replaced with a blend of active fibres, which increases the racket’s durability, speed, and playability. Aramid fibres, known for their exceptional impact resistance, and a PTFE treatment have been integrated to improve glide and protect the frame from abrasion. Without a bumper, the racket is more aerodynamic, allowing better penetration through the air, thus maximising swing speed and power. Replacing the plastic with this new material also allows for more fibres to be added, reducing vibrations and offering greater comfort during use.
The racket’s design has been optimised by the Airshaft section, which improves aerodynamics to promote better acceleration. The monoshaft structure is reinforced by X-Arms tendons on both sides, limiting the racket’s flexibility and enhancing stability and precision on impact. For better tolerance on off-centre hits and improved spin control, the CARBOFLEX 130 X-TOP V2 incorporates Extended String Holes technology: 12 strategically placed grommets (at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock) allow greater string elasticity, thus offering more forgiveness on off-centre shots.
Used on the Tour by squash legends such as Mohamed el Shorbagy, Nour el Sherbini, Nouran Gohar, and many others, the CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 range benefits from the support and active involvement of these champions in its development and technical evolutions.
TECNIFIBRE’s mission is to unlock the potential of every player by offering products combining high performance and unique elegance. All products are developed in the TECNILAB laboratory, following the logic: Identify, Quantify and Solve.
In squash, players constantly seek to improve their execution speed, as the ball arrives fast, and more than half of the shots (58%) are played in corners with limited space. So, how to improve performance in such tight spaces? The answer lies in swing speed.
This is precisely what the TecniLab at Tecnifibre has worked on. With constraints of time and space, it is crucial to ensure players can generate power by accelerating their racket. We tested hundreds of players under these conditions, and it appeared that the more experienced the player, the faster their swing.
Based on this data, the new CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 range has been developed to increase the acceleration of the racket for all player categories.

Technologies
- X-top : The plastic bumper is replaced by a blend of aramid fibers, the most impact-resistant material, and a PTFE coating that provides a smooth surface to protect the frame from abrasion against the ground or walls. Without the bumper, the racket becomes much smoother and cuts through the air more effectively for maximum swing speed and power.
- Airshaft : Improved section for increased aerodynamics, thus reducing air resistance and increasing acceleration.
- Extended String Holes : Helps increase string elasticity and maximize effects by widening the eyelet placement area on the frame.
- X-arms : Single-shaft construction that improves stability and accuracy at impact.
