Samson MLX3 Performance Line

An upgraded version of Samson's popular MLX line, newly metric sized MLX3 is a club racer’s dream: super light and amazingly strong to keep you in the lead.



Built of a new, blended HMPE and nylon core, with a 24-strand polyester cover, MLX3 offers the best line for the recreational racer who is just as competitive as the pros. Now available 11mm.

MLX3 is a lightweight, core-dependent line (the core carries the load) that has excellent strength with very low stretch.
The core is Samthane-coated to match the color of the cover so the line can be stripped for greater weight savings without loss of strength.

The Samthane coating is abrasion resistant and has different formulations depending on the specific rope fiber types. It adds firmness, greatly improves service life, reduces cutting and snagging, and resists contamination.

Compared to the original MLX, MLX3 has been re-calibrated for accurate metric sizing, with resulting slight strength and stretch differences. Accurate metric sizing improves MLX3's fit and performance with a broad range of rigging hardware.
