Description
Unleash swing speed and power with the CARBOFLEX 135 X-TOP NEO!
The CARBOFLEX 135 X-TOP NEO squash racket has been designed to maximise swing speed and enhance the power of every player. Ideal for advanced competitors and regular players. Thanks to Heart Tech technology, this reinforced monoshaft racket generates power directly from improved ergonomics.
With a 500 cm² head size, it offers the perfect balance between power and stability. Its stringing with Dynamix VP, a polyurethane multifilament, is the most responsive in the Tecnifibre range, providing greater feel and responsiveness for players seeking maximum power.
The CARBOFLEX X-TOP NEO range pushes the boundaries of innovation with its patented X-TOP NEO 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 air penetration, thus maximising swing speed and power. Replacing 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 with a new Heart Tech ergonomics, which enhances aerodynamics to promote better acceleration and therefore more power. The monoshaft structure is reinforced by X-Arms tendons on both sides, limiting the racket’s flexibility and improving stability and precision on impact. For better tolerance on off-centre shots and improved spin control, the CARBOFLEX 135 X-TOP NEO incorporates Extended String Holes technology: 12 strategically placed grommets (at 3 o’clock, 9 o’clock and 12 o’clock) allow better string elasticity, providing greater tolerance on off-centre hits.
Used on the Tour by squash legends such as Mohamed el Shorbagy, Nour el Sherbini, Nouran Gohar and many others, the CARBOFLEX X-TOP NEO range benefits from the support and active involvement of these champions in its development and technical evolution.
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 approach: Identify, Quantify and Solve.
In squash, players constantly seek to improve their execution speed, as the ball comes fast, and more than half of the shots (58%) are played in corners with limited space. So, how can performance be improved in such confined 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 NEO range was developed to increase racket acceleration for all categories of players.

Technologies
- X-Top NEO : 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.
- Heart Tech : The new frame molding further reduces air resistance through improved ergonomics to deliver even more power.
