It untwists the centre lines by itself and is now 20% stronger and lighter. Its new rubberised EVA grip offers three times the comfort and holds better in any temperature, even when wet, and the Connect V2 quick release, with one-move reload, reduces the risk of accidentally unhooking or releasing it. For 2027 it adds a fibre-reinforced polymer internal frame, a titanium-coated stainless steel centrepiece that runs more smoothly, and a grip that is red to port and blue to starboard, more resistant to wear and better at keeping its colour. The 1.3 mm Dyneema SK99 Pro rear lines give a direct feel, and the 1.55 mm grey front lines prevent uneven shrinkage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 18px 0 0 0; font-weight: 600; font-size: 14px;
