Upgrade your fire poi setup with our Technora Fire Poi Tethers, designed for durability, heat resistance, and reliable performance. Made from high-strength Technora rope, these replacement tethers provide a dependable connection between your fire poi heads and handles while standing up to the demands of fire spinning.

Each tether comes equipped with a quick link for attaching to compatible fire poi heads and your choice of poi knobs. Whether you’re replacing worn-out tethers, adjusting your poi length, or refreshing an existing setup, these Technora tethers offer a practical solution without replacing your entire prop.

Why Technora?

Technora is a high-performance aramid fiber known for its exceptional tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and heat resistance. Originally developed for demanding industrial applications, it has become a popular choice for fire poi tethers because it offers strength and flexibility without the bulk of traditional chain connections.

While Technora is highly heat resistant, it is not fireproof. Always keep your tethers away from direct flame exposure whenever possible and inspect them regularly for signs of heat damage, fraying, or wear.

Key Features

  • Heat-Resistant Technora: High-strength aramid fiber designed to withstand elevated temperatures encountered during fire spinning.
  • Quick Link Connections: Each tether includes a metal quick link for attaching to compatible fire poi heads, making replacements and adjustments straightforward.
  • PX3 Poi Knobs: Available with PX3 Poi Knobs in a variety of colors for a comfortable, secure grip.
  • Lightweight Construction: Rope tethers provide a flexible alternative to traditional metal chains.
  • Replacement Friendly: Refresh worn or damaged poi tethers without purchasing an entirely new set of fire poi.
  • Customizable Length: Select your preferred tether length to suit your height, spinning style, and personal preferences.

Quick Link Connections

These standalone Technora Poi Tethers include quick links because they are designed to attach to fire poi heads you already own. Quick links allow you to connect or remove the tethers without permanently attaching them to a specific poi head.

Note: Direct connections are not available for this standalone tether listing. Direct-connect options are offered on select complete fire poi listings, where the tethers can be attached during assembly.

Choosing Your Poi Length

A common starting point for poi length is the distance from your palm to your shoulder crease. However, the ideal length depends on your proportions, preferred techniques, and spinning style.

Shorter poi can feel quicker and more maneuverable, while longer poi create larger spinning patterns and may feel more comfortable for certain movements. If you’re replacing existing tethers, measuring your current setup is often the easiest way to maintain a familiar feel.

What’s Included

  • 2 Technora Fire Poi Tethers in your selected thickness and length
  • 2 Metal quick links
  • 2 Poi knobs in your selected style and color (optional)

Fire poi heads are not included. All standalone tethers include quick links for attaching to compatible fire poi heads. Direct connections are not available for this listing.

Fire Safety & Maintenance

Fire spinning involves inherent risks and requires proper training, safety equipment, and precautions. Inspect your Technora tethers, quick links, and poi heads before every use. Replace any tether showing signs of fraying, excessive wear, heat damage, or compromised connections.

Technora is heat resistant but not fireproof. Avoid prolonged direct flame exposure, and always ensure quick links are fully closed and securely tightened before spinning.

Before lighting up, please review our Safety Disclaimer, Fire Safety for Flow Arts Guide, and Fire Prop Maintenance Guide for important safety information and care instructions.

Variations

Poi Tether Thickness

  • Relaxed (5 mm): A thinner, more flexible Technora tether that moves freely and provides a traditional rope-like feel. Ideal for spinners who prefer softer, more fluid tether movement.
  • Semi-Static (8 mm): A thicker Technora tether with more structure and resistance to bending. Its semi-static construction helps the tether maintain its shape during spinning, making it a good choice for spinners who prefer a more controlled, structured feel.

Both tether options are heat-resistant Technora and include quick links for attachment to compatible fire poi heads.

Tether Length

Choose your preferred tether length based on your height and spinning style. A common starting point is the distance from your palm to your shoulder crease.

Poi Knobs (Optional)

Add a pair of poi knobs to complete your setup, or select no knobs if you already have handles you prefer. PX3 Poi Knobs are our primary option, available in multiple colors.

Connection Type

Quick Links: All standalone Technora Poi Tethers include quick links for attaching to compatible fire poi heads. Direct connections are available only on select complete fire poi listings.

Flow toys are props and tools used in flow arts, which is a movement based art-form that involves object manipulation. Flow props are extensions of your body and tools for self expression.

Despite being called “toys”, flow toys are meant for everyone and you will find that a majority of flow artists are actually adults! Contemporary flow arts include many modalities like dance, martial arts, or just “free-flow.”

The best flow toy to start with is the one that you’re most excited to learn. Although some props might be more difficult to learn than others, this differs greatly from one person to another. We found that the more excited you are to learn a specific prop, the more likely you will be to practice and learn quickly.

Stick props like dragon staff, contact staff, or spin staff can be easier for some since its a more static prop that you can hold onto. Rope props like poi and rope dart require more plane control at the beginning but are also much easier to travel with. Others like flow stars and pixel whips have their own kind of movements that don’t really fall into the other two categories we mentioned. But they’re super popular for ravers and festival goers!

We have a feeling you’ll end up owning more than one type of prop though so regardless of what your friend thinks is the best flow toy to start with, just get whatever you’re most excited to learn!

Fire dancing carries some inherent risks, but if you follow all of our fire safety instructions the risks are very avoidable. We recommend feeling super comfortable with a flow toy before lighting it on fire for the first time.

If you’re new to flow arts, we also recommend getting a daytime practice prop (or even LED prop) since you might be dropping your flow toy a lot when you’re first learning. The Kevlar on fire props can deteriorate much more quickly from repetitive drops, so practice props are ideal to keep them safe.

We have fire, LED, and daytime versions of most of our main props. Even if you can only afford one version and end up starting with a fire prop, they can be protected with wick covers. No matter what type you have, we recommend practicing on soft ground like grass to protect them as much as possible.

After you read the fire safety guide linked above and before lighting up you fire tool, please also read through our safety disclaimer.

We ship our products Monday-Friday from Los Angeles, CA, USA. Many of our listed products are ready-to-ship unless we have to assemble them, which can add a day or two to process. That being said, we ship out orders in the order they are placed within 1-2 business days (with some exceptions like holiday seasons). 

Once shipped, we use USPS for orders in the USA and usually UPS for all international orders. Ground shipping in the US usually takes about 3-5 business days from shipping date, while priority shipping can be between 1-3 business days from shipping date. These are estimations and not guarantees as USPS might have delays, but reach out to us if you are looking for more specific time frames!

We can’t promise any specific shipping timeframes for international delivery as customs can cause many unforeseen delays.

Of course! We’re just a text, email, or DM away from being able to answer any question you have. All of our contact details can be found here or you can scroll down to find the buttons in our footer. We’re active on social media too so we are pretty easy to get a hold of!

Rope props such as poi, rope darts, puppy hammers (aka oxbow meteors), and meteor hammers use ropes, swivels, quick links, knobs in their construction. The most common ropes used in these props is technora and rhyno rope (also known as Dyneema or UHMWPE). Poi knobs come in various colors, sizes, and styles (LED or non LED). We have thoroughly tested our swivels and quick links to ensure they put up with the stresses of flowing with props like rope darts.
