With an integrated wheel that smoothly pays out slack and a responsive cam system, NEOX helps you manage belay transitions with greater precision and control. The ergonomic handle supports comfortable descent, while compatibility with standard single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of climbs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works\u003c\/strong\u003e: The stainless steel wheel turns freely when you pay out or take slack, then halts and activates the cam when the rope is weighted. This combination can help you maintain steady slack management during dynamic movements and belay station changes. In addition, the internal cam pivots to clamp the rope as you catch a fall, providing a reliable blocking action regardless of brake- strand angles, thanks to a spring-loaded mechanism. Lowering is smooth and controlled thanks to a 3:1 mechanical advantage and an easy-to-grip handle, which together make controlled descents more predictable for both belayer and climber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo clear benefits at a glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGIVE SLACK EFFICIENTLY: The built-in wheel supports quick slack payout while preserving control, reducing the effort of long pulls between moves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eREDUCE BRAKE-HAND FATIGUE: A weighted rope triggers the cam to block, supporting you during falls and helping sustain belay endurance over longer sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for rope compatibility and everyday use\u003c\/strong\u003e: NEOX works with single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm, making it suitable for gym drills and outdoor sport routes alike. The ergonomic handle enables a confident lowering experience, and the device’s compact form helps with transport between crag and gym.
