Description
TURNADO bits represent a new generation of loose ring snaffles. Standard single jointed bits have a production related characteristic: one part of the mouthpiece is longer than the other which results in stronger influence on one tongue edge. To avoid this problem- we recommend to use TURNADO bits. The joint of these bits has been angled forward by 45 degrees in order to guarantee an even distribution of pressure on both sides of the tongue.This special rotation is distinctly marked by a slightly abrasive surface (sandblasting) in the middle part of the mouthpiece.the innovative joint of the mouthpiece is turned forward by 45�the contact surface of the mouthpiece on the tongue is equal on both sidesthis enables an even distribution of pressure on both tongue edgesoffers increased control for strong horsesleverage effect can be modified by different rein optionsthe unique angle is distinctly marked by a slightly abrasive surface

Frequently Asked Questions
What problem does the Turnado joint design solve compared to a standard single-jointed bit?
In standard single-jointed bits, one part of the mouthpiece is typically longer than the other due to production characteristics, which results in uneven pressure on the tongue. The Turnado addresses this by angling the joint forward by 45 degrees, ensuring equal contact on both sides of the tongue for an even distribution of pressure.
How can I identify the angled joint on the Turnado mouthpiece?
The unique 45-degree angle is distinctly marked by a slightly abrasive surface created by sandblasting in the middle part of the mouthpiece, making it easy to identify and correctly orient the bit.
Is the Sprenger Turnado 3 Ring Bit suitable for strong horses?
Yes. Sprenger specifically describes this bit as offering increased control for strong horses, and the 3-ring configuration allows the leverage effect to be modified by using different rein attachment options.
What mouthpiece thickness is this bit?
This version of the Sprenger Turnado 3 Ring Bit has a 16mm mouthpiece thickness.
Can the leverage effect of the Turnado 3 Ring Bit be adjusted?
Yes. The 3-ring design means the leverage effect can be modified by attaching the reins to different rings, giving the rider flexibility in how much leverage is applied.
