Arbpro - XS9.1 Split Tail Prusik

The Arbpro XS9.1 Split Tail Prusik is an extremely durable climbing rope specifically designed for arborists who demand optimal grip, high abrasion resistance, and reliable performance in demanding tree work environments. This split tail prusik cord is perfect for use in prusik systems and combines excellently with main lines of 11.5 mm and 12.7 mm.

The XS9.1 is manufactured from advanced XS Prusik cable, developed to offer superior strength, resistance to abrasion, heat, and mechanical stress. Its double-braided construction consists of a high-quality polyester (PET) core and a braided cover of Kevlar®/polyester (KEV/PET).

The unique blend of Kevlar® and polyester in the cover strands provides exceptional grip on the main line while exhibiting minimal elongation and exceptional durability. Kevlar® contributes unbeatable wear resistance, while polyester ensures flexibility and low weight. The result is a prusik cord that lasts significantly longer than traditional alternatives, even with intensive use.

With a precise diameter of 9.1 mm, the XS9.1 is perfectly suited for split tail configurations in modern arborist systems. The stitched eyes are certified according to EN 566:2006 with a breaking strength exceeding 22 kN, guaranteeing safety in all situations.
