Our Isis Fire Poi combine durable Kevlar heads, reliable burn times, and the smooth feel of Technora tethers in a versatile fire poi setup. Built around 100% Kevlar wick heads, these poi are suitable for a wide range of spinning styles, whether you’re performing on stage or preparing for your first fire spinning session.
Choose between 4 inch (100 mm) and 5 inch (127 mm) Kevlar heads, relaxed 5 mm or semi-static 8 mm Technora tethers, and your preferred connection style. With optional poi knobs, you can customize your setup to match your spinning style.
Choose Your Fire Poi Head Size
- 4 inch (100 mm): A lighter Kevlar head weighing approximately 4.00 oz (113 g). Great for spinners who prefer quicker movements, easier direction changes, and a more maneuverable setup.
- 5 inch (127 mm): A larger Kevlar head weighing approximately 5.00 oz (142 g). The additional Kevlar provides greater fuel capacity and the potential for longer burns, while the increased weight creates a more substantial spinning feel.
Both sizes feature durable Isis-style Kevlar construction designed for repeated fire spinning with proper care and maintenance.
Choose Your Tether
- Relaxed 5 mm Technora: A softer, more flexible tether with a loose, fluid feel. Great for spinners who prefer natural rope movement without much added structure.
- Semi-Static 8 mm Technora: A firmer tether that maintains more of its shape while retaining some flexibility. The added structure provides more feedback and predictability, particularly during tosses, stalls, and other technical movements.

Why Technora?
Technora is a high-performance aramid fiber known for its exceptional tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and heat resistance. It provides a durable, lightweight alternative to traditional metal chain tethers while offering a smoother feel during spinning.
- No Hot Metal Chains: Technora eliminates the long sections of metal chain that can become dangerously hot during fire spinning.
- Strong & Lightweight: Its excellent strength-to-weight ratio makes Technora particularly well suited for fire poi.
- Heat Resistant: Designed to tolerate elevated temperatures, although direct flame exposure and fuel saturation should still be avoided.
Connection Options
- Quick Link: A removable metal connector that makes it easy to detach or swap your poi heads. The additional hardware may introduce a small amount of movement between the tether and head.
- Direct Connect: The Technora tether attaches directly to the poi head without an intermediate quick link. This creates a cleaner connection with less unwanted movement, making it a great option for spinners who prioritize precision and don’t frequently swap heads.
Optional Poi Knobs
Add a pair of poi knobs to complete your setup, or choose no knobs if you already have handles you prefer. Knobs provide a comfortable grip while opening up additional possibilities for tosses, catches, and other handle-based techniques.
Our PX3 Poi Knobs are a popular all-around choice, offering a comfortable shape and durable construction in a variety of colors.

Fire Safety & Maintenance
Technora is heat resistant, but it is not fireproof. Proper care is essential for maintaining the safety and longevity of your fire poi.
- Never soak Technora tethers in fuel. Only the Kevlar wick heads should be fueled.
- Avoid leaving burning poi stationary on the ground, as prolonged heat exposure can damage the tethers and surrounding materials.
- Inspect your Kevlar heads, Technora tethers, and connection hardware before every use.
- Replace any tether showing signs of fraying, excessive wear, heat damage, or compromised connections.
- With proper care, Technora tethers can often outlast the Kevlar heads themselves.
Fire spinning involves inherent risks and requires proper training, safety equipment, and precautions. Before lighting up, please review our Safety Disclaimer, Fire Safety for Flow Arts Guide, and Fire Prop Maintenance Guide.
Choose your preferred head size, tether, connection, and handle setup, then go make some impressive circles of fire. Responsibly, of course.
