KK ULTRA - Compared to conventional bits, the double jointed KK ULTRAs have a middle link - also known as the bean - that is shortened and angled forward by 45 degrees.
Only with this angle the middle link lies gently ont he tongue resulting in even constant contact to allow clear instructions through the reins.

The innovative KK ULTRA bits take advantage of the exceptional sensetivity of the horse's tongue which multiplies the perceptions from signals given by the bit. When the reins are pulled the middle part of the KK ULTRA fully rests on the tongue without squeezing and the connection rings roll on the tongue. The tongue's sense of touch is utilised and clear instructions can be given.

The KK ULTRA bits provide an incomparable precisely contact between rider and horse. A huge improvement can normally be seen immediately when switching to a KK ULTRA bit.

The anatomically adapted mouth piece is very comfortable for the horse as the rider can give softer instructions and the horse's suppleness is supported harmoniously.

Klaus Balkenhol,
Trainer of the German Dressage Team and former Olympic champiuon. "Did you know that because the tongue is so extremely sensitive, it multiplies perceptions in this area dramatically?"
How have we been able to stimulate the sense of touch to obtain the desired effect?
As the palate is narrower than originally assumed the lozenge in the centre was shortened (this results in no pressure being put on the palate).
The angle of the link was twisted by 45 degrees. This ensures that when contact is taken up via the reins, the rounded link rests fully on the tongue without squeezing it.
In short, the sense of touch in the tongue is utilised and not abused, enabling clear instructions to be given through the reins.
