Bonobo Flow Fire Rope Dart Leashes are purpose-built tethers for fire rope dart spinning, available in black Technora or black Dyneema. Both are high-strength, low-stretch synthetic fibers that provide the responsive connection and control needed for wraps, tosses, shots, and technical rope dart movement.
The biggest difference is heat resistance. Technora can tolerate substantially more heat, while Dyneema provides a lightweight, smooth-feeling tether but requires more care around flame. If you’re deciding between the two, the right choice mostly comes down to your experience level and preferred rope feel.
Technora Fire Rope Dart Leash
Technora is a high-temperature-resistant aramid fiber known for its strength, durability, and resistance to heat. Unlike many synthetic fibers, Technora does not simply melt when exposed to high temperatures, making it particularly well suited for fire flow props.
Because the entire leash is made from Technora, there isn’t a lower-temperature main rope that needs to be kept away from the fire head. This makes Technora the more forgiving option if your rope becomes tangled or unexpectedly moves closer to the flame during a burn.
For that reason, Technora is generally our recommended choice for newer fire rope dart spinners or anyone who prioritizes heat resistance and a lower-maintenance setup.
Dyneema Fire Rope Dart Leash
Dyneema is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber known for exceptional strength at a very low weight. Its smooth feel against the skin makes it the preferred leash material for many intermediate and advanced rope dart artists, particularly for wraps and other techniques where the rope moves directly across the body.
Unlike Technora, Dyneema has relatively low heat resistance and can melt when exposed to sufficient heat. Our Dyneema Fire Rope Dart Leash therefore uses a Technora lead section between the main Dyneema rope and the hardware connecting to the fire head. This creates a heat-resistant section where the leash is normally closest to the flame.
The Technora lead does not make the entire leash heat resistant. If the main Dyneema rope becomes tangled around or comes into contact with a burning fire head, it can still melt. Melted fibers can create hardened spots along the rope that are uncomfortable to spin with and may require the leash to be replaced.
For experienced fire rope dart spinners who are comfortable managing their rope around a burning dart, Dyneema is generally our recommended option. Technora remains the more forgiving choice for newer fire spinners or anyone who prioritizes heat resistance over rope feel.
Uncoated Dyneema
Our Dyneema rope is uncoated, so there is no stiff outer coating that needs to be broken in before the leash becomes comfortable to use. It arrives ready for flow without waiting for your rope to stop feeling like rope-shaped cardboard.
Adjustable Length
Each leash measures approximately 10 ft 2 inch (3.10 m) to the end of the included quick link. The leash can easily be shortened by tying loops near the handle end, allowing you to adjust the usable length to your body and preferred spinning style.
If you’re unsure where to start, check out our Rope Dart Length Guide for help sizing your setup.
Swivel & Quick Link Connection
A swivel at the dart end helps reduce twisting in the leash as the dart rotates. An included quick link provides a removable connection point for compatible fire dart heads, making it easy to attach or change your head without rebuilding the leash.
These leashes pair naturally with our Shuriken Fire Head and other compatible fire rope dart heads.
Fire Safety
Even heat-resistant rope can be damaged by excessive or prolonged flame exposure. Inspect your leash, lead section, swivel, quick link, and attachment points before every burn and replace damaged components before spinning.
