Volxume: the innovative technology that reinvents climbing holds
In the world of climbing, the quality and durability of holds are essential factors. At Volx, we've taken innovation one step further by developing Volxume, a collection of macro holds with unique properties, the result of months of research and development.
Volxume is the perfect marriage of two materials with complementary characteristics: polyester (PE) and polyurethane (PU). This combination offers climbers and venue managers a hybrid solution that is sustainable and eco-responsible, without compromising on performance.
PE + PU: a winning synergy for sockets
What sets Volxume apart from other plugs on the market is its unique design combining the advantages of PE and PU. But what exactly are the advantages of this combination?
1. Aesthetic design and advanced technical features thanks to dual texture
Dual-texture makes it possible to create grips that are both elegant and functional. With smooth, non-grip areas combined with rough grip surfaces, dual-texture adds a technical dimension to every move. This feature helps openers design more varied boulders, requiring climbers to manage their placement and balance with precision.
2. Abrasion resistance and natural feel thanks to PE
The grip section of Volxume holds is made from polyester (PE), a material renowned for its strength and durability. This surface is more resistant to wear and abrasion, giving climbers a feel closer to natural rock, a quality much appreciated by climbing enthusiasts. So even after months of intensive use, the holds still have an excellent grip.
3. PU's lightness, flexibility and impact resistance
We use polyurethane (PU), a light, flexible and impact-resistant material, for the non-adhesive areas of the sockets. These characteristics make it much easier to install and remove sockets, particularly on large volumes, sockets and macros. Thanks to its flexibility, PU also makes it possible to create bold shapes, opening up new creative possibilities for openers.
4. An eco-responsible approach: retexturable sockets
One of the most innovative aspects of Volxume technology is the ability to retexture holds. Over time, even the best grips can lose their grain, compromising their grip. Instead of throwing away worn grips, Volxume offers a sustainable solution: the PE grip part can be retextured. This not only extends the life of the holds, but also reduces waste, making it both environmentally responsible and cost-effective.
What's more, to encourage this approach, we are offering our customers a unique option: for all orders of Volxume holds placed via our volxholds.com website, the first repair (retexturing) is fully covered by Volx Climbing. This is part of a wider movement towards sustainability within the climbing industry.
