SMC RACK KITS
Brake racks can be customized for your specific application. The following kits are designed based upon the preferences of frequent rack users. To determine
which rack kit best fits your need, review the following:
1. Choose from “straight” or “90 degree” harness attachment eye. Most users prefer to orient the rack’s short leg pointing down. Most harnesses with a sewn-in
D ring that lays flat against the user’s stomach (like our Avatar) need a 90 degree twist eye rack.
2. Select Aluminum or Stainless Steel bars. SS bars are cleaner on the rope and last longer, but have less friction and thus are faster rides with the same number
of bars. Select a model number with an A at the end for aluminum bars (including an aluminum top bar) or an S for stainless steel bars.
3. The addition of a stainless steel top bar with an extension (hyper- bar) accommodates easy lock off and extra control - more money but worth it, especially
with stainless steel bars. Select a model with an S-2 at the end. (SM13006S2 & SM13506S2 do not include hyper-bar)
Key Features:
Allows user to adjust friction, even under load . Welded eye is very strong . Can be used as a lowering device . Does not twist rope . Can be easily attached
to rope while still attached to the seat harness . May be used with a variety of rope diameters . Allows use of two ropes at the same time . Kits are created
with SMC parts and come un-assembled
