Neue Schule Turtle Topâ ¢ Bevel 16mm Mouth 55mm Ring Neue Schule bits have been ergonomically designed using the latest technology to produce high performance superior bits for all disciplines and levels of riding. Neue Schule bits are made with Neue Schule Salox Gold which is a high copper alloy used for its high thermal conductivity and anti-tarnishing properties; Salox Gold quickly reaches body temperature and so encourages relaxation and acceptance of the bit. The Turtle Topâ ¢ is an anatomy inspired double jointed bit with enhanced mouthpiece stability.

The Turtle Topâ ¢ Loose Ring also features Flex technology which is a development of the Tranz range. The Flex mouthpiece offers gently curving cannons to form a wide arch over the tongue. This wide arch is held in place by the Turtle Topâ ¢ meaning it is more securely centered on the tongue and less likely to be pulled through the mouth. The Beval has a mild lever action and is ideal for ponies that poke their nose as it applies simultaneous poll pressure and upwards action of the bit within the mouth. Also useful for downward transitions. Specification: Mouthpiece thickness: 16mm Ring/Shank Size: 70mm Additional Information: Measuring Your Bit:
