Tecnifibre Carboflex Neo 135 Squash Racquet

Tecnifibre Carboflex Neo 135 Squash Racquet

The TECNIFIBRE CARBOFLEX NEO 135 is engineered to deliver the ideal combination of power, manoeuvrability, and swing speed for regular squash players and competitors. Weighing 135 g, the racquet generates powerful inertia while its optimised weight distribution and shorter 67.5 cm length provide excellent handling and reduced bulk during fast-paced rallies.

As part of Tecnifibre's flagship CARBOFLEX NEO range, the Carboflex Neo 135 combines an ergonomic frame design with advanced X-TOP NEO and HEART TECH technologies. Together, these innovations are designed to improve racquet-head acceleration, power, responsiveness, and comfort, helping players perform confidently in the tight spaces of the squash court.

X-TOP NEO Technology – Faster Swing Speed

X-TOP NEO technology reduces weight at the top of the racquet by redesigning the plastic components and grommets around the string bed. 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 increase racquet-head speed.

The traditional bumper has been removed and 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 from abrasion caused by contact with the floor and walls.

HEART TECH – Power & Reactivity

The weight saved from the top of the racquet is redistributed towards the centre through the ergonomic HEART TECH design. The shaft is approximately 3% thicker and features a more rounded shape, helping generate greater power and enhance reactivity while maintaining the responsive handling of the Carboflex platform.

135 g Construction – Powerful & Stable

With a 135 g weight, the Carboflex Neo 135 generates greater inertia through the swing, making it a powerful option for players who want additional penetration and stability behind their shots. The frame is designed to provide substantial power while retaining the manoeuvrability needed for fast squash.

67.5 cm Length – Enhanced Handling

The Carboflex Neo 135 features an optimised 67.5 cm length, approximately 1 cm shorter than other CARBOFLEX racquets. The reduced length helps decrease bulk and improves handling, allowing players to manoeuvre the racquet quickly in tight areas and react effectively during rapid exchanges.

500 cm² Head – Power & Stability

The 500 cm² head size provides a balanced combination of power, stability, and forgiveness. The generous hitting area supports consistent performance while complementing the powerful 135 g frame.

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 openings allow the strings to move more freely and optimise their elasticity, helping enhance spin potential and improve tolerance on off-centre shots.

Dynamix VP Strings – Responsive Performance

The Carboflex Neo 135 is supplied pre-strung with Tecnifibre Dynamix VP, a responsive polyurethane multifilament string designed to complement the racquet's performance characteristics. Its lively response works with the frame to provide a combination of power, responsiveness, and feel.

14x18 String Pattern – Dynamic Playability

The 14x18 string pattern promotes string movement and provides a responsive hitting experience. Combined with Extended String Hole technology, the open pattern helps optimise elasticity, spin potential, and tolerance across 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 impact resistance and abrasion protection while creating a smoother racquet head profile.

With less conventional plastic and more composite material, the frame is designed to move efficiently through the air while contributing to greater responsiveness, reduced vibration, and improved comfort at impact.

Aerodynamic Design – Speed in Tight Spaces

The smooth X-TOP head profile helps reduce aerodynamic resistance during the swing. This works alongside the optimised balance and shorter length to provide faster handling and efficient racquet acceleration, particularly valuable when reacting to shots in the corners of the court.

Designed for Modern Squash

The Carboflex Neo range has been developed around the importance of swing speed in modern squash. With the ball travelling rapidly and many shots being played into corners with limited space, players need to generate power through quick racquet acceleration. Tecnifibre's TecniLab research focused on improving racquet acceleration to help players execute faster and more effective shots.

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 needs, quantifying performance, and developing technical solutions designed to unlock player potential.
