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 is the thickness of the KK Ultra Universal mouthpiece?
The mouthpiece is 16 mm thick.
What material is the mouthpiece made from?
The mouthpiece is made from Sensogan, which is the material used across the KK Ultra range by Sprenger.
How many rein attachment options does the Universal bit offer?
The Universal bit offers 4 different rein options. Depending on how the reins are attached, varying degrees of lever action can be achieved to intensify the rider's aids.
What makes the middle link on the KK Ultra different from a conventional double jointed bit?
The middle link has been shortened and angled forward by 45 degrees compared to conventional bits. This anatomical adaptation is designed to optimise the effect on the horse's tongue and improve communication between horse and rider.
Is this bit suitable for strong horses that evade upwards?
Yes. The design specifically helps to get more control over strong horses that evade upwards, and the use of a curb strap can further limit poll pressure while also acting on the lower jaw.
What is the purpose of the lateral offset position of the upper ring?
The lateral offset position of the upper ring introduces a slight delay in the lever action, which is a deliberate design feature of the Universal bit.
Is the KK Ultra Universal bit based on scientific research?
Yes. Its development is based on a study of horse mouth cavities commissioned by Sprenger and carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover, which provided data on space conditions and bit positioning in the horse's mouth.
