- 16mm thickness with a Sensogan mouthpiece
- Anatomically adapted mouthpiece - middle link shortened and angled forward by 45°
- Helps to get more control over strong horses that evade upwards
- Extremely versatile - offers 4 different rein options
- Depending on how the reins are being attached, varying degrees of lever action intensify the rider's aids
- Using a curb strap can limit the poll pressure and additionally acts onto the lower jaw
- The lever action has a slight delay due to the lateral offset position of the upper ring
- When the reins are taken up, the middle link 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
- Development based on scientific research from the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Sprenger KK Ultra Universal Double Jointed Bit come in?
This bit is available in three sizes: 125mm, 135mm, and 145mm.
What are the 4 rein options on the KK Ultra Universal bit?
The Universal bit features 4 different rein attachment points. Depending on how the reins are attached, varying degrees of lever action are possible, allowing the rider to adjust the intensity of their aids.
What is Sensogan and why is it used in the KK Ultra Universal bit?
Sensogan is the material used for the mouthpiece of this bit. It is the material specified by Sprenger for the KK Ultra range. The input does not provide further compositional detail beyond the Sensogan designation.
How does the 45° angled middle link differ from a conventional double jointed bit?
Compared to conventional bits, the middle link on the KK Ultra has been both shortened and angled forward by 45°. This anatomical adaptation is designed to optimise the effect of the bit and, when the reins are taken up, allows the middle link to gently roll over the central part of the horse's tongue rather than pressing down on it.
Can a curb strap be used with the KK Ultra Universal bit?
Yes. Using a curb strap with this bit can limit poll pressure and additionally acts onto the lower jaw, giving the rider an additional means of communication.
What is the scientific basis behind the KK Ultra bit design?
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 provided knowledge about space conditions and bit positioning inside the horse's mouth, informing the anatomical adjustments made to the mouthpiece.
