Tecnifibre Carboflex Neo 130 Squash Racquet

Tecnifibre Carboflex Neo 130 Squash Racquet

The TECNIFIBRE CARBOFLEX NEO 130 is the most powerful model in the CARBOFLEX NEO range, designed for players who want to maximise power while maintaining the fast swing characteristics of a modern squash racquet. Weighing 130 g, its increased inertia helps generate greater power through the ball, making it an ideal choice for good-level competitors and regular players seeking maximum performance.

The Carboflex Neo 130 represents a significant evolution of Tecnifibre's flagship CARBOFLEX range. Its optimised weight distribution combines with a redesigned ergonomic frame to provide enhanced manoeuvrability and increased power. Advanced X-TOP NEO and HEART TECH technologies work together to improve racquet-head speed, responsiveness, and energy transfer.

X-TOP NEO Technology – Optimised Swing Speed

X-TOP NEO technology reduces weight at the top of the racquet by redesigning the grommet system and eliminating as much conventional plastic as possible. At the 12 o'clock position, three dedicated eyelets highlight the removal of approximately 2–3 g of plastic, reducing weight at the front of the frame and helping improve racquet-head acceleration.

The traditional bumper has been replaced with a combination of aramid fibres and PTFE treatment. Aramid fibres provide high impact resistance, while PTFE helps improve sliding performance and protect the frame against abrasion caused by contact with the floor and walls.

HEART TECH – Enhanced Power & Reactivity

Weight saved from the top of the frame is redistributed towards the centre through the ergonomic HEART TECH design. The shaft has also been redesigned to be approximately 3% thicker and more rounded, helping increase power and reactivity while maintaining the responsive characteristics of the Carboflex range.

130 g Construction – Maximum Power

At 130 g, the Carboflex Neo 130 is the most powerful racquet in the CARBOFLEX range. Its additional weight generates greater inertia through the swing, helping players transfer more energy into the ball and produce powerful attacking shots without losing the benefits of the updated Carboflex aerodynamic design.

500 cm² Head – Power & Stability

The 500 cm² head size provides an effective balance of power and stability. The generous hitting area offers useful forgiveness while supporting the solid response of the heavier 130 g frame, making it well suited to players who prioritise power and consistency.

Extended String Hole Technology – Spin & Tolerance

Extended String Hole technology features twelve enlarged eyelets positioned at strategic points around the frame at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock. These enlarged openings allow the strings to move more freely and optimise their elasticity, helping improve spin potential and tolerance on off-centre shots.

Dynamix VP Strings – Responsive Feel

The Carboflex Neo 130 is supplied pre-strung with Tecnifibre Dynamix VP, a responsive polyurethane multifilament string designed to complement the racquet's performance-focused construction. The string provides a lively response and helps maximise the power and responsiveness of the frame.

14x18 String Pattern – Dynamic Response

The 14x18 string pattern provides increased string movement and a responsive hitting experience. Combined with Extended String Hole technology, the open pattern helps enhance elasticity, spin potential, and tolerance when contact is made away from the centre of the string bed.

Bumper-Free X-TOP Construction

The CARBOFLEX NEO's bumper-free construction replaces the traditional plastic protective cover with active composite fibres. The combination of aramid fibres and PTFE provides resistance and protection while creating a smoother racquet head that can move more efficiently through the air.

By replacing conventional plastic with composite material, the frame contains more active fibres, helping contribute to greater responsiveness, reduced vibration, and improved comfort at impact.

Aerodynamic Design – Faster Acceleration

The smoother X-TOP head profile helps reduce air resistance during the swing. This aerodynamic construction works alongside the optimised weight distribution to help the racquet accelerate efficiently, allowing players to combine the power of the 130 g frame with improved swing speed.

Designed for Modern Squash

The Carboflex Neo range has been developed around the importance of swing speed in modern squash. With the ball arriving quickly and many shots being played into tight corners, players have limited time and space to prepare. Tecnifibre's TecniLab research focused on increasing racquet acceleration to help players generate power and execute shots effectively in these demanding situations.

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 the TECNILAB approach, identifying player requirements, quantifying performance, and developing technical solutions to unlock player potential.
