Tecnifibre Carboflex Neo 125 Squash Racquet

Tecnifibre Carboflex Neo 125 Squash Racquet

The TECNIFIBRE CARBOFLEX NEO 125 is a lightweight, high-performance squash racquet engineered to maximise swing speed, acceleration, and power. Weighing just 125 g, it delivers an excellent combination of manoeuvrability and stability, making it an ideal choice for high-level competitors and regular squash players looking to improve their attacking performance.

The Carboflex Neo 125 represents a major evolution of Tecnifibre's flagship CARBOFLEX range. Its optimised weight distribution, ergonomic frame design, and advanced X-TOP NEO and HEART TECH technologies work together to create a fast, responsive racquet that allows players to generate greater racquet-head speed while maintaining the power needed for demanding rallies.

X-TOP NEO Technology – Faster Racquet Head Speed

X-TOP NEO technology redesigns the top of the racquet head by eliminating as much conventional plastic as possible from the grommet system. This reduces approximately 2–3 g of weight from the 12 o'clock area, helping lower the mass at the front of the racquet and increase swing speed.

The three dedicated eyelets at the 12 o'clock position make the technology visible while highlighting the weight reduction. In squash, where players often have limited time and space to prepare their shots, this improved acceleration can help produce faster reactions and more effective attacking strokes.

HEART TECH – Optimised Power & Reactivity

The weight removed from the top of the frame is redistributed towards the centre through the ergonomic HEART TECH design. The Carboflex shaft has also been redesigned to be approximately 3% thicker with a more rounded profile, helping increase power, responsiveness, and reactivity while preserving the quick handling characteristics of the racquet.

Lightweight 125 g Construction

At just 125 g, the Carboflex Neo 125 provides outstanding manoeuvrability without feeling excessively light during impact. Its low weight allows players to accelerate the racquet quickly, making it easier to react to fast-moving shots, prepare in tight corners, and generate racquet-head speed throughout extended rallies.

500 cm² Head – Power & Stability

The 500 cm² head size provides an effective balance of power and stability. The generous hitting area offers forgiveness on less-than-perfect contact while retaining the responsive characteristics required by competitive squash players.

Extended String Hole Technology – Spin & Tolerance

Extended String Hole technology features twelve enlarged eyelets positioned at strategic points around the frame, including the 3, 9, and 12 o'clock positions. These enlarged openings allow the strings to move more freely, helping optimise elasticity, increase spin potential, and improve tolerance when contact is made away from the centre of the string bed.

Dynamix VP Strings – Responsive Feel

The Carboflex Neo 125 is supplied pre-strung with Tecnifibre Dynamix VP, a responsive polyurethane multifilament string designed to maximise feel and performance. Its lively response complements the racquet's lightweight construction and helps players make the most of its speed and power.

14x18 String Pattern – Dynamic Response

The 14x18 string pattern provides a responsive string bed with increased string movement. Working alongside Extended String Hole technology, the open pattern helps support spin, elasticity, and a dynamic response during attacking play.

Bumper-Free X-TOP Construction

The CARBOFLEX NEO range replaces the traditional plastic bumper with a combination of aramid fibres and PTFE treatment. The aramid fibres provide high impact resistance, while PTFE helps improve sliding performance and protects the frame from abrasion caused by contact with the floor or walls.

Removing the conventional bumper also creates a smoother head profile that moves more efficiently through the air. The increased use of composite fibres contributes to responsiveness, reduced vibration, and improved comfort at impact.

Aerodynamic Design – Maximum Acceleration

The bumper-free head construction helps reduce aerodynamic resistance, allowing the racquet to move quickly through the air. Combined with the optimised weight distribution, the design is focused on maximising racquet acceleration so players can react quickly and generate power even when space and preparation time are limited.

Designed for Modern Squash

Tecnifibre developed the Carboflex Neo range around the importance of swing speed in modern squash. With the ball travelling at high speeds and many shots being played into tight corners, players need to accelerate their racquet efficiently within restricted time and space. Tecnifibre's TecniLab research identified a clear relationship between player level and racquet acceleration, leading to the development of a range designed to help players maximise swing speed.

Tour-Inspired Performance

The CARBOFLEX NEO range is used on the professional squash tour by elite players including Mohamed El Shorbagy, Nour El Sherbini, and Nouran Gohar. Tecnifibre develops its performance equipment through its TECNILAB approach, focused on identifying player needs, quantifying performance, and developing technical solutions.
