Description REFLEX Mechanical Hitch – Mid-Line Attachable Friction Control The REFLEX Mechanical Hitch is an innovative mid-line attachable device designed to make climbing simpler, safer, and more efficient. Say goodbye to threading full rope lengths through your system—this device allows you to insert and helically wind the rope through the links for precise friction control and smooth, controlled movement. Precision Friction Control Built for both MRT and SRT systems, the REFLEX provides consistent, adjustable friction without the need for extra hardware. Its L-shaped links and safety-lock swing-frame keep the rope securely captivated while enabling gradual and predictable descent. Mid-line attachment means climbers can install or remove the rope at any point, even when using ropes with bulky terminations or labels. Enhanced Versatility and System Options The REFLEX enables multiple limb-passing options and smooth changeovers in the canopy. Optional use with APEX and FLEX Tethers allows climbers to add extra friction if desired, while attachment apertures provide versatile set-up choices for quick transitions between climbing configurations. Durable and Rescue-Ready Rated for a 200kg rescue load, the REFLEX can be used confidently in rescue scenarios without additional friction. Its links automatically adjust to different rope diameters (11–13mm EN 1891-A) to maintain consistent performance, removing the need for manual adjustments during climbs. Removable and Replaceable Swivel The device includes a removable swivel-eye, which can be detached without disassembling the climbing system. This feature allows for extra limb-passing options, easy compact setups, and quick replacement when the swivel becomes worn. The swivel accommodates two karabiners or up to two bridge ropes for flexible configurations.
