KK ULTRA Baucher 16 mm - Sensoganmouthpiece adapted to the anatomy of the horse's mouth- mouth- and tongue-friendly45� angled middle link enables soft but also precise aidsthe moutpiece is fixed at the lower ring and lies closely on the tonguegentle pressure is directed on the pollKK ULTRA bits are the pioneers of modern bits because they have been developed on the basis of scientific research.They achieve their unique- precise effect through the special 45� angle of the middle link. When used correctly- the horse s confidence in the rider s hand is enhanced- which is why these bits are used successfully worldwide in all disciplines and across all training levels a true all-round talent!Compared to conventional bits- the middle link has also been shortened. This anatomical adaptation noticeably optimises the effect compared to conventional double jointed bits.When the reins are taken up- the middle link also known as the lozenge because of its striking shape gently rolls over the central part of the horse s tongue- stimulating its sense of touch. The connecting rings to the middle piece roll softly over the tongue without exerting pressure.Scientific research:The development of the KK ULTRA bits is based on the results of a measurement of mouth cavities of horses initiated by SPRENGER- carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover. This investigation resulted in groundbreaking knowledge about the space conditions and the position of bits in the horse s mouth. In short- the sensitive horse mouth offers little space for a bit. This space has to be used by anatomical adjustments in such a way that a comfortable and effective rein aid is possible for the rider.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the KK Ultra Baucher different from a conventional double-jointed bit?
The KK Ultra Baucher features a middle link set at a 45-degree angle and shortened compared to conventional double-jointed bits. When the reins are taken up, the lozenge-shaped middle link rolls gently over the central part of the horse's tongue, stimulating its sense of touch rather than exerting pressure. The connecting rings to the middle piece also roll softly over the tongue.
What is the mouthpiece thickness of this bit?
The KK Ultra Baucher has a 16 mm mouthpiece.
What is the Sensogan mouthpiece and why is it used?
Sensogan is the material used for the mouthpiece, which has been adapted to the anatomy of the horse's mouth. It is described as mouth- and tongue-friendly, designed to work within the limited space of the horse's mouth as identified through research conducted with the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover.
What pressure points does the KK Ultra Baucher act on?
The mouthpiece is fixed at the lower ring and lies closely on the tongue. In addition to tongue action, the Baucher design directs gentle pressure on the poll.
Is the KK Ultra Baucher suitable for all training levels and disciplines?
According to Sprenger, KK Ultra bits are used successfully worldwide across all disciplines and all training levels, making them described as a true all-round bit.
Is the design of this bit based on scientific research?
Yes. The KK Ultra range was developed using findings from a study of horse mouth cavities commissioned by Sprenger and carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover. The research examined space conditions and bit positioning within the horse's mouth.
