- adapt the braking power on larger diameter ropes
- increase the braking pressure on the ropes in Reverso mode - The asymmetric side grooves:
- increase the braking power for leader or top-rope falls, or while rappelling
- improve rope glide through device when taking up slack - Hole for releasing the device under load: allows a loaded device in Reverso mode to be easily and gradually released with only a carabiner

- Reverso mode aluminum attachment hole is easy to identify
