Beris Konnex 2½ Ring Tongue Port, Soft.

Beris Konnex

Konnex bits are made of an approved refined plastic that does not cause friction in the horse's mouth, even in horses with little saliva.
Konnex bits are flatter than the average plastic bits and therefore lie comfortably in the horse's mouth.
The Konnex tongue port not only gives more room at the tongue, but also lies flatter on the tongue part, so that the rein pressure is distributed over a wider part of the tongue.
Konnex bits are ideally suited for horses with little space in the mouth and horses that cannot tolerate too much pressure on the tongue.

2½ & 3 Ring Bit:

A 2½ & 3 Ring Snaffle is also called a Pessoa bit and can be recognized by the extra rings on top and at the bottom of the regular bit rings.
The top ring is used to attach the cheekpiece and the bottom ring the rein.
When using the rein, the top ring will tilt forward and create leverage.
The strength of the impact is determined by the type of mouthpiece, material and number of rings.
A 2½ ring snaffle is therefore less effective than a 3 ring snaffle.

Straight mouthpiece features:

A straight mouthpiece consists of 1 piece and gives pressure on the tongue, layers and lips.
The shape and thickness of the mouthpiece determine where the pressure will be in the mouth.
A straight mouthpiece with a tongue port gives more pressure on the layers and keeps the tongue free.
The straighter and thicker the mouthpiece, the more pressure on the tongue.
