Spectre 12CM Quickdraw DMM

Spectre 12CM Quickdraw.

The Spectre is a special biner. It was the first of the new generation I-beam carabiners and we put everything we could into it so that it could be the work-horse of the new generation. A good size, a massive 10Kn gate open strength, only 35g and of course you get all the usual DMM refinements.

This is the biner of choice for a lot of our sponsored climbers

Some manufactures make their biners as small as possible just to save weight, but at DMM we don't see the point of being able to call our biners the lightest in the world if they are too small to be used. Thus the Spectre is a good size and is large enough to be used with gloves for Winter work

DMM were the first to develop the idea of I beam biners and it is this technology together with out experience in forging 7000 series alloys which has enabled us to make this biner so light and so versatile.

A shockingly strong 10kN open gate strength means that however much abuse this biner takes, it will be up to whatever task you throw at it.

The wire gate keeps weight to a minimum, whilst providing an easy clip with minimum chance of it freezing or gunging up. The customised gate is curved to give a constant tension for ease of clipping and increased long-term safety, whilst the tip of the wire is also bent so that it pulls into the nose when under tension to minimise the chance of gate open loading.

The nose is shrouded to minimise the chance of the gate being opened accidentally. All have a rubber tadpole on the rope end to keep the biner orientated correctly.

The Spectre is a fantastic allround quickdraw and is a brilliant choice whether it is being used for sport, traditional or alpine climbing.
