Xenon Tech Wire
The Xenon has been designed to fill the gap in the Wild Country range between the top of the range Helium and the ubiquitous Wild Wire. Thus the Xenon retains features of both and has been slimmed and trimmed down to create a biner which is a lighter than average 38 grams.
The Xenon has a classic bow back shape and has a feel so that only a full size biner can give, yet weight is shaved by adapting some of the ideas and technology gleaned from the' I Beam Back' of the Helium.
And although the Xenon is not a true I Beam it gains another benefit from not being, which is that is has a very thin nose profile and great for tight clips or old bolts and it's super slim making it great for racking. Built with safety in mind the Xenon sports a new, 'hooding' around the nose, which helps to prevent accidental opening against the rock, yet, at the same time sports a slim profile for quick clipping. This is partly made possible with a new 'narrow-wire' gate - meaning that tight spots are no problem for this unit.
Essentially the Xenon offers a great deal to the all round climber wishing to up grade their rack and shave some weight, with a cleverly designed low profile unit that enhances clipping and racking.
The Xenon is available as Qds of 10cm, 15cm, 20cm & on 10mm Dyneema. It's also available in 5 packs of biners and qds too.
