Bombers 2½ Ring Elliptical - 125mm

The Bombers 2½ Ring Elliptical Bit – 125mm is a multi-ring leverage bit featuring an elliptical mouthpiece and 2½-ring cheekpiece. The cheekpiece introduces poll pressure and leverage on the mouthpiece, while the ½-ring design provides a softer leverage effect than the larger 3- or 4-ring alternatives.

The Elliptical mouthpiece concentrates contact over a smaller surface area than the Control Plate and is designed for horses that tend to push against the bit with their tongue.

The mouthpiece is available with an optional additional curve, creating a more comfortable bend and helping to reduce pinching while distributing contact around the bars.

A nylon back strap is supplied.

Important: This is a leverage-style bit. Correct fitting and appropriate rein use are important, and bit selection should be based on the individual horse and rider.
