Treiber CI OFF
Andro Treiber CI OFF is a modern offensive blade engineered for players who demand a potent topspin game without sacrificing precision. Its 5+2 ply construction features inner KVL Carbon layers strategically placed around the core, enhancing ball feel, expanding the sweet spot, and reducing vibrations. This design delivers a crisp contact that supports aggressive topspin play with excellent control. ITTF approved and suitable for competitive play, it offers a dynamic balance of speed, spin, and control for an all-around offensive style.
The 7-ply construction follows a symmetrical pattern with Limba outer layers, Ayous intermediate layers, KVL Carbon layers positioned third from each surface, and an Ayous core. This 5+2 arrangement (5 wood plies + 2 carbon layers) places the carbon internally rather than on the surface, which contributes to the blade's balanced characteristics of good feel, enhanced dwell time, and reduced vibration compared to outer carbon designs.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Andro Treiber CI OFF delivers a high offensive speed rating of 9.1, placing it firmly in the fast category suitable for aggressive play. Our testing shows it provides ample power for strong loops and drives, with a noticeable acceleration when you put more force into your shots. While not the absolute fastest blade on the market, it offers more than enough pace for most offensive situations, making it effective for both mid-distance rallies and powerful finishing strokes.
For an offensive blade, the control here is surprisingly good. You feel confident placing your shots, especially during topspin rallies and close to the table. The inner carbon with Limba outer plies gives nice feedback, which really helps with touch shots, blocks, and service returns. It's pretty forgiving too, so it works well if you're moving up to faster equipment.
Andro Treiber CI OFF offers a medium feel that strikes a nice balance between crispness and dwell. The Limba outer plies provide a slightly softer initial touch compared to harder woods, while the inner carbon layers add stability and response. This creates a blade that feels connected to the ball without being overly harsh or mushy, giving good feedback on both soft touches and powerful shots.
Andro Treiber CI OFF produces a medium-high throw angle that works well for topspin-oriented play. This characteristic helps create good arc on loops and makes it easier to generate heavy spin while maintaining safety over the net. The throw angle complements the blade's dwell time to create an effective combination for spin-focused attacking players.
With a dwell time rating of 8, this blade provides above-average contact duration that enhances spin generation. The inner carbon placement and wood composition work together to create a pocketing effect that lets you brush the ball effectively for heavy topspin. This extended dwell makes it particularly effective for loop-oriented play and technical strokes that require good ball manipulation.
Rated at 6 for flexibility, the Treiber CI OFF offers a medium level of stiffness that provides good stability without being overly rigid. This balance allows for both controlled shots and powerful strokes, with enough give to help with spin generation while maintaining solid blocking and driving capabilities. The flexibility works well with modern tensor rubbers that benefit from some blade flex.
The vibration level sits at a moderate 5, offering enough feedback to feel the ball without being overly harsh or numb. The inner carbon layers and construction help dampen excessive vibrations while still transmitting useful information about contact quality. This makes the blade comfortable for extended play sessions while maintaining good tactile connection.
Andro Treiber CI OFF earns a quality rating of 9.0 for its excellent German craftsmanship and durable construction. The blade features precise layer alignment, consistent weight distribution, and a refined finish that speaks to its premium positioning. The materials work harmoniously to create a blade that maintains its playing characteristics over time, with good resistance to warping and consistent performance across different specimens.
Technology
Andro Treiber CI OFF utilizes a 5+2 ply construction with inner KVL Carbon layers strategically positioned between wood plies. This 'inner fiber' design places the carbon layers closer to the core rather than the surface, creating a blade that combines wood-like feel with enhanced performance. The KVL Carbon provides stability and speed while the Limba outer plies offer good touch and vibration dampening. This technology expands the sweet spot, improves dwell time for spin generation, and reduces harsh vibrations compared to outer carbon blades, making it suitable for players who want carbon performance without sacrificing too much feel.
