ISC Reflex V2 Mechanical Hitch
Spread the payments with Klarna
The ISC Reflex V2 Mechanical Hitch represents a refined evolution of the trusted Reflex platform, engineered to extend performance and durability without compromising the familiar handling climbers rely on. The V2 retains the same body, frames, and lower link system while concentrating innovation on the upper links, spring system, and axle — delivering incremental but meaningful improvements in torque, wear resistance, and load distribution.
The redesigned upper links feature additional material and an enlarged wear radius where they grip the rope, directly extending service life in demanding conditions. Longer upper links increase torque engagement around the axles, ensuring a positive, consistent bite across rope diameters of 11–13mm EN1891 Type A. A newly implemented dual-spring top link maintains the same spring resistance users expect whilst expanding the rotation range, allowing the device to perform reliably across varied rigging angles.
Load distribution has been fundamentally improved through the refined link system. By shifting greater friction forces to the lower links, the V2 wears more consistently throughout its working surfaces, reducing hotspots and dramatically extending operational life. A redesigned top axle simplifies routine maintenance with a new cleaning hole for quicker lubrication, while a strengthened top plate resists accidental bending during field use.
Mid-line attachable with no threading required, the Reflex V2 delivers precise friction control suitable for both SRT and MRT systems. Rated to 200kg rescue load with a working load limit of 50–200kg, it weighs just 567g and carries CE certification to EN 12841:2024/C. The removable, replaceable swivel eye and self-tending design with low-friction ascent options make it a versatile choice for arborists and rope access professionals seeking durability without reinvention.
IMPROVEMENTS
Upper Links
- More material: The redesigned upper links have additional material and a larger wear radius at the surfaces that grip the rope, leading to extended service life.
- More Torque: Longer upper links increase torque as they engage the rope around the axles, for a positive, consistent bite.
Link System
- Shared Load: More of the device doing the work.
- The added torque forces on the rope travelling across the top axles shift a greater share of friction to the lower links, so REFLEX V2 wears more consistently, greatly extending service life.
- Duel-spring top link: Two springs extend the top link’s range of rotation to maintain performance, while keeping the same spring resistance REFLEX users have come to expect.
Refined details.
- Easier Maintenance: A redesigned top axle and new cleaning hole make routine cleaning and lubrication quicker and easier.
- Stronger top plate: A more durable top plate better resists accidental bending and damage in day-to-day handling.
