The rope lies well in the hand and runs smoothly over the pulley blocks.
Very satisfied at first - a long-term evaluation is still pending.

High tech rope? Really great - but only for experts!
I chose HERKULES VISION specifically for my sheet slide adjustment project based on several important points in the Liros description. At 6mm, it has a nice grip, kink-inhibited, very stable, little stretching and is easy to splice.
I usually only pick up a needle in the winter, but I failed at splicing. Liros was very accommodating and did it for me when I asked; Liros writes

After consulting with our splicing professionals internally, a 6 mm Hercules is really very difficult to splice for a non-professional. There is probably another special tool internally that looks similar to the LIROS rigging needle. (see photo)

I can make you an offer that you send us the rope at your expense and we will make the required splice for you free of charge.

We will adjust the info “Easily Splicable” in our texts to “spliceable” so as not to give the wrong impression.
