PEGASUS cores are all designed with InnegraTMS, a new and innovative advanced fiber that gives Pegasus RopesTM the same physical & mechanical properties – whether wet, dry or even exposed to chemicals. This breakthrough technology has an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making it the lightest structural fiber available today. InnegraTM’s unique composition also provides great thermal properties when used in hot or cold environments. For the first time you can be confident that the backbone of your rope’s system, your core, will perform regardless of environmental challenges.

Redefining Rope Technologies
North American Rescue (NAR) is proud to announce our Static Pegasus Ropes® Series – the lightest weight and most versatile
rope available today. Understanding your mission requirements, NAR continues our tradition of providing tactical and rescue teams with innovative and dependable equipment
that outperforms expectations
in unpredictable environments. Our Pegasus Ropes® line delivers unmatched performance (wet, dry or contaminated), allowing you
to utilize one rope for most
missions.
Pegasus cores are composed of 100% virgin InnegraTM fiber.
InnegraTM is a new, advanced material with excellent physical
& mechanical properties. Characterized by its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, InnegraTM S delivers a very strong, ultra-lightweight, hydrophobic, buoyant and chemically inert fiber that is ideal for varying operational needs.
Unlike all nylon based ropes, Pegasus’ physical and mechanical properties are virtually unchanged regardless of environmental conditions such as rain, sleet, snow, mist, humidity, salt water and chemicals, allowing it to maintain its high strength, low weight and cut resistance regardless of the weather. With it’s superior handling, knotability and reliably stable performance, Pegasus is a significant advancement in rope technologies.
HARNESSING THE ADVANTAGE OF
✔Ultralightweight ✔CutResistant
The Factor of Safety (FOS) in the rope industry recommends a 10x FOS
for most rope designs (working load = 10% of Minimum Break Strength) compared to the automotive, aerospace, and structural design industries’ 2-3x. In part, the high rope FOS tries to compensate for the environmental, mechanical and physical “unknowns” that rope materials are exposed to.
