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 material is the mouthpiece made from?
The mouthpiece is made from Sensogan, which is the alloy used across the KK Ultra range by Sprenger.
What is the thickness of the mouthpiece on this bit?
The mouthpiece is 18 mm thick.
How many rein attachment options does the KK Ultra Universal bit offer?
It offers 4 different rein options. Depending on where the reins are attached, varying degrees of lever action are produced, making it extremely versatile.
What makes the middle link on this bit different from a conventional double-jointed bit?
The middle link has been shortened and angled forward by 45 degrees compared to conventional double-jointed bits. This anatomical adaptation is designed to optimise the effect of the rein aid and allow the lozenge-shaped link to roll gently over the central part of the horse's tongue.
Can a curb strap be used with this bit?
Yes. Using a curb strap can limit the poll pressure and additionally acts onto the lower jaw.
Why is there a slight delay in the lever action?
The lever action has a slight delay due to the lateral offset position of the upper ring, which is a deliberate design feature of the Universal configuration.
What is the scientific basis behind the KK Ultra bit design?
The KK Ultra range was developed using research commissioned by Sprenger and carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover. The study measured the mouth cavities of horses to better understand the space conditions and positioning of bits, informing the anatomical adaptations in the mouthpiece design.
