SMC Brake Bars
SMC Brake Bars
  • manufactured in the usa
  • 7/8" Stainless Steel Brake Bars are machined from solid stainless steel stock, these bars give you maximum strength and great wear characteristics making this virtually the longest lasting bar on your rack
  • 1" bars make locking off easier as well as providing additional friction when needed
  • ''training'' groove helps to keep the rope centered on the bar while descending and the straight slot means the bar is held in place by the rope to help prevent rigging the rope in backwards
  • aluminum provides greater levels of friction
  • stainless steel is more durable, handles additional heat developed under heavy loads and on longer rappels, smoother, faster rappels, keeps rope "cleaner"
  • tie-off Bars provide added friction/control and facilitate lock-off of rope to maintain position and/or hold a load
  • bars with the “training” groove used as 1st or 2nd bar to help keep ropes aligned properly
  • bars with angled slot are designed to “snap” onto rack frame for more secure placement
  • bars with straight slot are designed for added safety so that the rack may not be loaded backwards
  • U shaped stainless steel bars are designed to help dissipate heat and reduce weight
