• 
  PROGRESSIVE DESCENT CONTROL: 3:1 mechanical advantage of the camming mechanism helps smoothly control the rope and reduce lowering efforts regardless of rope diameter.
• 
  CAM-ASSISTED BLOCKING: Cam-assisted blocking ensures a comfortable belaywhen the climber falls or weights the ropethe cam in the device automatically cinches down to arrest the rope.
• 
  COMFORTABLE and CONVENIENT: Simple to use for belaying both lead and top rope climbers. Rope installation diagram engraved on the inside and outside of the device serves as a friendly reminder to novices and experts alike.
• 
  TWIST-LOCK: Automatic locking, optimal for connecting lanyards and connecting a GRIGRI to the harness.
• 
  LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE: D-shape is functional regardless of orientation, meeting multiple uses: attachment of a belay system, a pulley, or on the end of a lanyard. Light enough for mountains, durable enough for the crag.

• 
  CAM-ASSISTED BLOCKING: Cam-assisted blocking ensures a comfortable belaywhen the climber falls or weights the ropethe cam in the device automatically cinches down to arrest the rope. Compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes.
• 
  ANTI-PANIC HANDLE: If the user pulls too hard on the handle, the anti-panic function engages, stopping the climber's descent. Great for newer belayers and partners with large weight differences.
• 
  MULTIPLE BELAY MODES: The lockable selector knob allows you to choose either top rope or lead belay mode. Top rope belay mode makes taking in slack easier and long belay sessions more comfortable.
• 
  STEEL WEAR PLATE: The stainless steel wear plate provides extra protection for the high-wear area on the GRIGRI (near the brake side of the rope).

Main Highlights

• 
  Belay device with assisted braking for 8.9 to 11 mm rope

Main Highlights

• 
  GIVE SLACK EFFICIENTLY: With the NEOX, leave short roping behind. The stainless steel wheel rotates freely when giving or taking slack. When the rope is weighted, the wheel stops, and the cam engages to block the rope.
• 
  REDUCE BRAKE-HAND FATIGUE: The NEOX assists the belayer when catching a fall. When the system is weighted, an internal cam pivots and blocks the rope. The spring-loaded cam clamps down regardless of the brake strand angle
• 
  DESCENT CONTROL W/ 3:1 MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE: The ergonomic handle allows for easy lowering. A 3:1 mechanical advantage enables a smooth and progressive descent, creating a more enjoyable experience for both the belayer and climber.
