Neue Schule Turtle Top Beval

Turtle Top™ with Flex

Anatomy-inspired double jointed bit design with enhanced mouthpiece stability, through optimised alignment of the mouthpiece surfaces to the tongue and palate.

The Neue Schule Flex design concept delivers a guaranteed and well controlled co-alignment of the surfaces of the mouthpiece with the sensitive surfaces of the equine mouth. For most designs Flex delivers parallel co-alignment of the Turtle Top™ dome with the equine palate.

In selected designs we allow Flex to deliver some firm but fair additional pressure to the tongue and poll using a lever action-induced rotation of the mouthpiece. The extra pressure obtainable is carefully restricted with Flex limiting the range of additional rotation to around 10 degrees.

Flex^Z

Flex^Zis a development of our popular Tranz range (hence the “Z”). Gently curved cannons form a wide arch aligned over the tongue and held in shape by Turtle Top™. Flex^Zis therefore more securely centred on the tongue and more resistant to being pulled through the mouth.

Flex^ZBeval

The Beval ring gives rein and cheekpiece attachment options in a neat package but whatever option you choose the mouthpiece remains in constant relative alignment to the tongue. The flattened underside of the Flex^Zcannons with their anatomy-inspired recesses are held parallel to the tongue whatever riding activity you enjoy and for whatever rein tension you employ.

This innovation is brilliant for the over-active busy mouth that chomps and chews on the mouthpiece. Turtle Top^TMwith Flex keeps the mouthpiece centred and arched over the tongue at all times, safely helping to prevent sideways tongue evasions. This comfortable mouthpiece re-focuses the inattentive mouth back onto the rein aids in order to achieve a soft consistent contact.

Delivering mild poll pressure combined with anatomical engineering this bit helps the horse that has difficulty flexing itself and rounding over the bit in order to achieve a true and correct outline as well as providing extra control when needed.
