INOV' SPLIT technology - For Expert use ONLY
The advantages of the SLACK INOV SPLIT TECHNOLOGY
- With the INOV' SPLIT TECHNOLOGY a new standard for highlining has been introduced to the slackline world, SPLIT50 and SPLIT100 are your options to choose from. This means you'll always have the sames lengths of webbing strands: 50 or 100 m, easily usable as mainline or as backup.
- It also allows you to team up with all your friends, to create a long highline by connection all your webbings together at the sewn loop ends.
- For big highline missions, you will be able to distribute the weight evenly among all backpacks.
- If you ever damage a webbing strand, you'll only have to replace 50 or 100 meters instead of your entire set-up.
Splits are dedicated to expert users!
The technology reduces a lot the risks of high falll accidents, but its proper use requires elevated skills in highline rigging.
Wich backup extender material should I select?
- DYNEEMA rope - 32 kN: at only 18 gr./m and it can also be used as an ultra light sling;
- Polyester webbing GREEN MAMBA - 27 kN: 44 gr./m - very strong with 2 sewn loops at both ends.
Adjust your backup length
We advice to select for a medium stretch webbing (6% at 10 kN):
- 2/3 m: for SPLIT 50 m;
- 5 m: for SPLIT 100 m.
If your mainline is a rather high stretch webbing like f.e. our NYLOVE or PHANTER, you should use a backup extender longer than recommended above, f.e. 5 m for SPLIT 50 m, and 7 m for SPLIT 100m.
If your mainline is a rather low stretch webbing, remember that you can always reduce the length divided by two. Simply fold the Extender in half: 5m / 2,5m or 3m / 1.5m.

What are the other options for connections?
As illustrated in the images below, an additional option involves the use of two doubled 3 mm soft shackles instead of two undoubled 6 mm ones. In this configuration, both connectors must pass simultaneously through both the loop of the main line and that of the backup line.
Fundamental safety note: it is essential to remember to double the 3 mm soft shackles to ensure a correct and safe installation.
With this configuration, both soft shackles will be under tension.
Among the different connection techniques — provided they are executed correctly — there is no absolute "best" or "worst" method. The choice is purely subjective and depends mainly on the level of comfort perceived when walking across the connection.
Slide freely with ROLLEX
Before we created the SPLIT TECHNOLOGY, all the webbing segments were connected by an 8 mm oval quick link, usually covered with adhesive tape as a precaution.
A major problem that occurred with oval quick links as main connectors was that the ROLLEX could not slide over the 8 mm quick link, which positioned horizontally measured 36.5 mm. You therefore had to stop at every junction and it was difficult and tiring to slide the Rollex on the line.
Finally, thanks to the innovative INOV' SPLIT PACK technology, you will have a soft shackle that your Rollex can slide over, obtaining a stunning advantage especially in rescue situations , where it is essential to be fast in moving on the line without interference.
