Climbers around the world have put REFLEX to work, and what they told us was clear:
Built on the platform climbers already trust, with targeted engineering changes that extend wear life where the device works hardest.
The redesigned upper links have additional material and a larger wear radius at the surfaces that grip the rope, leading to extended service life.
Longer upper links increase torque as they engage the rope around the axles, for a positive, consistent bite.
The added torque forces on the rope travelling across the top axles shift a greater share of friction to the lower links, so REFLEX V2 wears more consistently, greatly extending service life.
Two springs extend the top link’s range of rotation to maintain performance, while keeping the same spring resistance REFLEX users have come to expect.
A redesigned top axle and new cleaning hole make routine cleaning and lubrication quicker and easier.
A more durable top plate better resists accidental bending and damage in day-to-day handling.
We put the original REFLEX and new REFLEX V2 through repeated accelerated wear testing under identical, controlled conditions.
We focused our engineering on the upper links, spring system and axle, and left the rest of the platform exactly as climbers know it.
We’re introducing upgrade pricing on REFLEX V2 for owners of the original REFLEX. Details will be announced soon.
