Sprenger double jointed bits

Sprenger double jointed bits: mouthpieces designed for different functions

Sprenger double jointed bits encompass several generations of mouthpiece designs developed by the German manufacturer. While they all feature a double-jointed construction, each geometry has been created with a different approach to stability, pressure distribution, and comfort in the horse's mouth.

Depending on the model, these mouthpieces are available with a range of cheekpiece configurations, including eggbutt, Fulmer, Baucher (hanging cheek), full cheek, and gag bits. The cheekpiece design complements the specific characteristics of each mouthpiece.

Sprenger's main mouthpiece designs

Beyond the double-jointed construction itself, Sprenger has developed several mouthpiece profiles to suit different oral conformations and riding requirements.

• KK Ultra: one of Sprenger's flagship mouthpieces. Its centre link is anatomically angled to follow the natural shape of the tongue and promote a consistent contact.
• Dynamic RS: designed with an anatomical approach, it features a carefully curved profile that follows the contours of the horse's mouth more closely and promotes more even pressure distribution.
• Novocontact: its oval profile alters the contact surface according to the intensity of the rein aids. With light contact, the bearing surface remains relatively small. As rein pressure increases, the contact area changes, allowing the aids to be transmitted differently.
• Satinox: this satin-finished range combines a simple design with an anatomically curved mouthpiece, offering versatile performance while retaining the characteristics of a double-jointed bit.

Sprenger's proprietary alloy

Sensogan bits

Many Sprenger double jointed bits are manufactured from Sensogan, a proprietary alloy developed by Sprenger. It is distinguished by its unique composition and characteristic colour. Some riders also appreciate its thermal conductivity and the way it may encourage a more willing acceptance of the bit.

Satinox bits

Sprenger’s Satinox alloy is a high-quality stainless steel with a satin finish, offering excellent resistance, pleasant mouthfeel and optimal comfort for the horse.

Choosing a Sprenger double-jointed bit

Choosing a Sprenger double jointed bit involves more than selecting the cheekpiece style. The geometry of the Sprenger mouthpiece is one of the key selection criteria, with each profile developed to suit different needs. The cheekpiece design, mouthpiece diameter, and the horse's oral conformation remain essential considerations when selecting the most appropriate bit.
