The REFLEX Mechanical Hitch is a mid-line attachable device!  Gone are the days of pulling entire lengths of rope through the device, ahead of or during your climb! 

Designed to offer precise friction control, with a gradual release of friction, the REFLEX combines the familiarity of a hitch cord-controlled descent with the versatility of a mid-line attachable mechanical device.

The REFLEX body is fitted with a safety-lock swing-frame and L-shaped links, which means that the rope can be inserted into the body and then helically wound around and into (rather than threaded through) each link. The top link is fitted with a latch which keeps the rope securely captivated, within the links during use.

Mid-line attachment is beneficial as it means that climbers don’t have to pull an entire length of rope through the device in order to install/remove rope at the beginning of, or at any point during, their climb.  This is especially useful when using rope with bulky termination labelling, that would otherwise have to be cut off, removing the rope identification/traceability information.

Mid-line attachment is also a game-changer in terms of providing additional limb-passing options and changeovers, within the canopy! 

Whether used in MRT or SRT systems, the links of the REFLEX enable consistent friction control, without the need of additional frictional hardware.  This means that the REFLEX can be used for SRT, without the need of a Wrench & Tether!  This is ideal for climbers who want to keep their system simple and compact and enables easy slack payout. 

For those who prefer to use the REFLEX with an additional APEX and FLEX Tether, the REFLEX has  attachment apertures which enable versatile set-up options, as well as quick and easy transitions between set ups.

The 200kg rated rescue load enables climbers to perform rescues, without needing to build in additional friction.  If desired, an APEX & FLEX Tether can be added, to offer additional friction for greater ease of control.

CE Certified to EN 12841, on EN 1891-A ø11-13mm Rope

The links of the REFLEX adjust to provide consistent friction across the rope range, with no need to adjust settings.

Removeable & Replaceable Swivel

The Swivel-eye can be removed from the device, by way a sequence of deliberate actions.  This enables quick disconnection without having to disassemble the climbing system, or bridge set up.  Ideal for lunchbreaks, or when nipping to the truck to get more gear.  The removeable swivel also allows more limb-passing options and means that the Swivel-eye can easily be replaced when it becomes worn. 

The Swivel-eye is shaped to accommodate two karabiners.  Alternatively, up to two bridge ropes can be threaded directly through the eye in order to achieve a compact system.

The REFLEX offers self-tending, low-friction ascent, with a choice of towing positions.
