High Load Eye 16mm Bore

Ergonomically designed to maximize the strength and efficiency of the eye. With HV500 hard anodizing and the profile of the curved surfaces, these have been developed to keep friction as low as possible. The range has amazing strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for use as kickers, tweakers, genoa barber haulers, and anywhere where weight saving and strength are important.

Wear Resistance

The hard anodizing HV500 has amazing low friction properties. After over 300 hours on an abrasion test machine, no visual signs of wear on the anodized coating could be found.
