Quelle longueur de chaîne choisir ?

Idéalement, la tête de la bola doit arriver sous l'aisselle. La chaîne galvanisée peut être raccourcie par l'utilisateur pour s'adapter à sa morphologie.

Comment entretenir les poignées silicone ?

Évitez tout stockage hermétique en présence de vapeurs de pétrole qui dégradent le silicone. Nettoyez-les à l'eau savonneuse si nécessaire.

Quel combustible est le plus adapté ?

Le pétrole désaromatisé (Kerdane) est idéal pour sa stabilité et son absence d'odeur persistante.

Combien de temps durent les mèches ?

Le tressage Gora permet environ 200 cycles d'enflammage si vous n'attendez pas la combustion à sec totale du Kevlar.

Complete Pair - Monkey Fist Professional Kit

The Monkey Fist (or Monkey Fist) fire bolas from Gora represent the pinnacle of performance for flow arts practitioners. Unlike classic coiled-wick models, these heads are made entirely of braided Kevlar cord . This massive volume of fiber creates an exceptional fuel reservoir, generating impressive flames and a prolonged burn time.

Comfort and Smooth Rotation

Each pair is equipped with 40mm silicone grip balls (30g/unit). This material offers exceptional grip and allows for complex maneuvers such as stops or casts with complete comfort. The rotation system relies on a 48cm galvanized twisted chain , connected by two swivels (one at each end) to guarantee perfectly smooth, twist-free operation.

NetJuggler's review

"Gora has produced a highly reliable piece of equipment. The absence of exposed metal on the heads significantly reduces the risk of burns from direct contact with the structure. It is a robust piece of equipment, and we guarantee the parts (excluding Kevlar) for life."

Fuel Guidelines

To preserve the tight weave of the Kevlar and ensure your safety, strictly follow these guidelines:

Recommended

Deodorized petroleum (Kerdane)
Paraffin or lamp oil
Barbecue lighter fluid
"Firewater"

Strictly prohibited

Petrol / Gasoline (Explosive)
White spirit (Toxic and corrosive)
Alcohols / Methanol (Damages Kevlar)
Diesel (Significant soot)

SILICONE SAFETY ALERT: Silicone handles are heat-resistant but sensitive to flammable fumes . NEVER store your soaked bolas in an airtight bag, as the fumes will prematurely degrade the silicone handles.

Gora is a global benchmark for fire professionals. This equipment is designed to withstand hundreds of ignitions while maintaining its structural integrity.

Monkey Fist Bolas FAQ

What chain length should I choose?

Ideally, for a beginner, the head of the bola should reach just below the armpit when you hold the handles. Gora chains are intentionally long and can be shortened simply by moving the attachment ring.

How to manage excess fuel?

Monkey Fist lighters absorb a lot of liquid. It is essential to perform a "spin-off" (rotational wringing) in a dedicated bucket before lighting to avoid splashing flaming droplets on yourself or the audience.

Do we need to wear specific protective gear?

As the fire volume is significant on this model, NetJuggler recommends the use of Kevlar gloves , hats or mittens for optimal safety.

Can I change the strands myself?

The Monkey Fist braiding technique is complex and difficult to perfect at home. When your wicks are worn (after approximately 200 uses), we recommend contacting us for ready-to-install replacement heads.

How do you turn off the bolas?

Use a thick, damp blanket. Never blow on the wicks. Avoid placing the hot heads on concrete or stone floors, as the heat reflection damages the fiber.
