GearBox GBX 135 Neon Blue Squash Racquet

The Gearbox GBX 135 (Neon Blue) is a premium, high-performance squash racket engineered for intermediate to advanced tournament players who want a flawless balance between explosive power and lightning-fast maneuverability.

Positioned right in the sweet spot of Gearbox's squash lineup, the 135g model is lighter and faster through the air than the heavy-hitting GBX 145, yet offers more natural baseline plow-through than the hyper-agile GBX 125. Like all Gearbox frames, it is built with an near-indestructible solid carbon construction designed to survive intense wall battles.

Core Performance Description

1. The Mid-Weight Sweet Spot: With a 135-gram unstrung frame weight and a slight head-heavy balance (360mm), this racket is the ultimate all-rounder. It carries just enough mass to help you easily push the ball deep into the back corners on defensive scrapes, but remains light enough to let you accelerate the head quickly when hunting fast volleys on the T.
2. Patented "Solid Frame" Stability: Standard squash rackets are hollow tubes that can feel pingy and vibrate on off-center hits. Gearbox utilizes Patented Solid Frame Technology, molding the racket with a solid carbon structure throughout the interior. This eliminates hollow vibrations, creates a crisp, uniform feel, and ensures the racket face remains rock-solid when blocking heavy drives.
3. Hybrid Teardrop Geometry: The frame features an open-throat layout with a slightly oversized 516 cm² head. By removing the traditional throat bridge, the main strings are significantly elongated. This layout maximizes string deflection, creating a highly elastic, springy energy return that injects easy, automated pace into your shots.
4. Aerospace-Grade Durability: Built from 100% High-Modulus Carbon Fiber using precise aerospace manufacturing techniques. If you are a competitive player tired of cracking fragile, hollow rackets against the side wall, the GBX 135 offers unmatched, industrial-grade toughness.

Key Technologies

1. Solid Frame Technology: Filled with continuous carbon structures rather than left hollow, maximizing raw material strength, heavily reducing frame flex, and expanding the sweet spot all the way out to the frame's edges.
2. Natural Vibration Dampening: Because the frame is a solid carbon block rather than a hollow acoustic chamber, it naturally deadens harsh high-frequency shock waves before they can travel down into your wrist and elbow.
3. Premium 18G Factory Setup: Instead of shipping with cheap, loose factory strings, the GBX 135 comes pre-strung with high-performance Gearbox 18 Gauge Black Monofilament for exceptional ball bite and cut-spin control.

Summary: The Gearbox GBX 135 Neon Blue is a powerhouse all-court weapon. By taking the bulletproof solid carbon engineering of the Gearbox brand and shaping it into a highly balanced 135g frame, it gives competitive club players a lightning-fast swing speed, effortless baseline depth, and a racket that is practically built to last a lifetime.
