Technical overview

Soft-Connection-I / Y-FLEX-16 tennis pathway

Published values below come from the supplied Enlio Soft-Connection-I technical sheet. Final selection should confirm the current model, certification, substrate condition, drainage and court geometry for the project.

01Model
Y/FLEX-16Soft-Connection-I modular outdoor sports-flooring pathway.
02Material
PPManufacturer sheet describes modified polypropylene raw material as 100% recyclable.
03Tile dimensions
400 × 400 × 15.8 mmLarge-format modular tile with reinforced double-layer support structure.
04Shock absorption
≥25%Published manufacturer value for the listed Y/FLEX-16 configuration.
05Ball rebound
≥90%Published manufacturer value; final sport-specific performance should be confirmed for the selected project.
06Published service life
10 years+Manufacturer-published figure; actual life depends on installation, exposure, use and maintenance.
07Connection system
Elastic self-retracting buckleDesigned to help accommodate thermal expansion and contraction while maintaining court stability.
08Surface + support
Frosted double-layer face + ribbed supportManufacturer describes anti-slip surface texture, reinforced support and an elastic underside structure.
09ITF test evidence
Court Pace Rating 58 · FastThe supplied ITF-format laboratory report explicitly says it does not itself constitute an ITF Court Pace Classification. Any current classification must be verified separately.
10Applications
Tennis · basketball · volleyball · badmintonThe manufacturer sheet positions the system as an outdoor multi-sport surface.

Final suitability, certification and court performance are model- and project-specific. Apollo confirms the current Enlio model, substrate requirements, court geometry, drainage, installation method and relevant certification before supply is finalised. The supplied EN 14877 report also records wet-friction, rebound and permeability limitations for the tested Y/FLEX-16 + shockpad configuration.

Independent test evidence

Test evidence for the exact Y/FLEX-16 / Soft-Connection-I configurations.

The uploaded reports cover tennis court pace, FIBA basketball performance and EN 14877 multi-sport testing. They do not all test the same performance requirement, so the results are shown separately rather than blended into one certification claim.

Soft Connection I · ITF Court Pace laboratory report

Guangzhou Labosport tested Enlio Interlock Flooring of Soft Connection I on a rigid base. The report records a Court Pace Rating of 58 and final pace category Fast, while explicitly stating that the report does not constitute an ITF Court Pace Classification.

  • Court Pace Rating 58 · Fast
  • Coefficient of restitution 0.80
  • Coefficient of friction 0.43
  • Tested tile 400 × 400 × 16 mm · PP
  • Laboratory recommends classification subject to ITF approval

Y/FLEX-16 · FIBA laboratory performance test

The FIBA-format laboratory report states that the tested Y/FLEX-16 samples met all requirements for FIBA product certification. The document also states that it is not a Certificate of Approval.

  • Force reduction 47% · vertical deformation 4.0 mm
  • Ball rebound 99% · slip resistance 93
  • Wear 52 mg
  • Rolling-load result not reported in this test file

Labosport · EN 14877:2013

Y/FLEX-16 · EN 14877 multi-sport laboratory report

This report is useful because it shows both strengths and limitations of the tested interlocking tile + 8 mm shockpad configuration. It should not be presented as blanket EN 14877 compliance.

  • Dry friction 90 · wet friction 30 — not suitable for wet conditions
  • Shock absorption 43% dry / 44% after ageing
  • Vertical deformation 4.2 mm
  • Vertical ball rebound 92% against report requirement ≥97%
  • Water permeability marked impermeable against report requirement ≥150 mm/h

The ITF report itself warns that it is not an ITF classification, and the EN 14877 report contains criteria the tested configuration does not meet. Apollo will therefore use these documents as transparent test evidence and verify any current sport-governing-body classification independently before specification.

Project fit

Choose the tennis system around the site, use level and long-term operating plan.

Schools + universities

Modular surfaces can support individual courts or larger teaching and recreation precincts where repairability and multi-court consistency matter.

Clubs

Existing hard-court assets can be assessed around base condition, drainage, movement and intended playing level before the surface pathway is selected.

Councils + public parks

Outdoor court projects should coordinate flooring with fencing, lighting, access, drainage, maintenance ownership and surrounding public-space use.

Multi-court facilities

Large projects can use coordinated colour zoning, repeated court layouts and consolidated supply across multiple courts.

Modular maintenance

Individual modular components can provide a practical maintenance pathway compared with monolithic surfaces, subject to the exact system and installation.

Base-first specification

A modular surface still depends on a suitable hard, stable and correctly graded substrate. Existing cracking, settlement or drainage issues should be addressed before installation.
