Treiber CO OFF/S
Andro Treiber CO OFF/S is an offensive table tennis blade built for aggressive players who demand speed and direct power. Its outer KVL Carbon layers sit just beneath the Limba outer plies, creating a hard, fast surface that excels at powerful topspins and decisive drives. Designed for players with mature technique, this hybrid blade delivers a dynamic, modern offensive experience where tempo and finishing power take center stage.
This 5+2 construction places KVL Carbon layers directly beneath the outer Limba veneers. This outer-type fiber placement maximizes directness and hardness, enhancing speed and power transfer for offensive strokes. The Limba outer plies aid spin, while the Kiri core offers lightness and responsiveness.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Treiber CO OFF/S delivers significant speed, thanks to its outer KVL Carbon layers combined with Limba outer plies. This construction provides direct power transfer, enabling powerful drives and fast topspin shots. It's designed for players who want to dictate the pace and finish points aggressively, making it a true offensive weapon.
Despite its high speed, this blade offers a commendable level of control. The Limba outer plies and overall construction provide sufficient dwell time for spin generation and executing softer shots like drop shots. This balance makes it manageable and predictable for intermediate to advanced players, even during fast exchanges.
The outer KVL Carbon layers beneath Limba create a relatively crisp and direct feel. It provides clear feedback on ball contact, typical of outer carbon blades designed for speed, though some players might perceive it as slightly less tactile compared to all-wood options.
Its construction promotes a medium-high to high throw angle, facilitating aggressive topspin shots that clear the net with a good trajectory. This supports offensive players in building and finishing attacking rallies.
For a fast, outer-carbon blade, it offers decent dwell time that allows players to impart effective spin on the ball. This balance supports both powerful drives and controlled topspin shots, making it versatile for offensive play.
This blade is designed to be stiff rather than flexible. The carbon layers provide rigidity essential for generating high speed and direct power transfer, supporting powerful flat shots and quick attacks without unwanted flex.
Vibration levels are moderate, providing enough feedback to feel the ball without being overly jarring. The KVL Carbon construction contributes to a firm feel, and while some vibration is transmitted, it's generally well-managed for an offensive blade.
Andro's manufacturing quality shines here, with good materials like KVL Carbon and Limba wood used throughout. The construction is solid and consistent, contributing to reliable performance and durability. Players report a comfortable, well-crafted feel that matches the blade's premium positioning.
Technology
Andro Treiber CO OFF/S utilizes an 'outer-type' fiber construction, with KVL (Kevlar) Carbon layers positioned directly beneath the Limba outer plies. This design maximizes direct impulse transfer to the ball, enhancing hardness and speed for powerful offensive shots like winners and heavy topspins. The Limba outer veneer provides a good surface for spin generation, complementing the carbon's speed. Part of Andro's 'High Line' series introduced in 2018, this technology focuses on essential fiber reinforcement for aggressive play.

Similar Blades
Butterfly Viscaria
Treiber CO OFF/S is frequently compared to Butterfly Viscaria due to similar construction and playing characteristics. Both feature outer carbon fiber layers (ALC for Viscaria, KVL Carbon for Treiber) beneath the outer wood veneer, leading to comparable speed, directness, and throw angle. They suit similar aggressive, offensive styles, with many players finding their performance profiles closely matched.
Butterfly Freitas ALC
Our testing shows the Treiber CO OFF/S shares very similar construction with Butterfly Freitas ALC, differing mainly in the fiber type (Kevlar Carbon vs. ALC). Both employ outer-type fiber placement with a Limba top layer, resulting in comparable elasticity and overall performance. This makes Freitas ALC a strong alternative for players seeking a similar feel and offensive profile.
