Overview

X-One Biphase is Tecnifibre's premium multifilament that combines their best technologies into a single string. The patented Biphasic process with visible marks extends string life by 20% while the H2C fibers allow extreme temperature treatment during manufacturing. Multifilament fibers are immersed in polyurethane for shock absorption and optimum comfort. Many users say "I've never tried natural gut, but X-One Biphase is what I imagine it would feel like." Easily one of the more powerful multifilaments available with cloud-like comfort even at higher tensions.
