Tachyon Vs pioson ivy

[Bing!]

Has anyone got any real world comparison of these two ropes? I am about to retire my Tachyon and replace with ivy/Hi-vee.

Which has the least amount of stretch? Before I spend the hard earned (ish) cash.....

 

Bing!

I have had both ropes. I have climbed on Tachyon for years but got a hank of Poison Hivy a while back. I accidently knicked the PHivy and it failed LOLER.

 

I replaced it with more Tachyon. I prefer it, but it is horses for courses.

PI feels nicer in the hand to me, but Tach seems to run slightly better.

 

BMW vs Audi question really, they are both excellent ropes.

Sounds like not that much difference, May try the Ivy for a change.

Is that because the Tach is the favourite of arrogant blinged-up gobshites Matt?

Pi is slightly thinner, less boucy but not much. Tachyon a little bulkier and heavier but nice as well.

Thanks for the reply Kevin, looks like an Audi V Bmw thread is about to break out!!!

Was just trying to compare stretch.

I find the phivy was a lot bouncier than the tachyon. Also I have to disagree with kevin, the tach feels alot firmer in hand than the phivy. I think they are the same diameter officially but the tach feels narrower. Maybe the phivy is a bit fluffier.
