The NEOX was recently launched by Petzl, so we unboxed one as soon as possible and took it for a test drive. The NEOX looks like the ubiquitous GRIGRI but feels very different to use.
The NEOX combines the security of an internal camming mechanism, which pinches the rope, with the easy rope feeding of a wheel. We asked on Instagram what you wanted to know and what you wanted us to test. The most commonly asked question about the NEOX is, "How does it compare to the GRIGRI?"
Join Eric and Charlie as they tested the NEOX and answered your questions.
- What is the NEOX?
- How does it work?
- How does it compare to the GRIGRI?
- What diameter ropes can be used?
- Can you belay top down for multi-pitches?
- Can you rope solo with this device?
- How much does it slip?

This is perfect for me. My gym has recently switched over to assisted braking devices only so tubular style devices are not allowed. Been lead belaying with an ATC for almost 10 years and didn’t like the feel of feeding rope with a Grigri. If this Neox is close to the smoothness of an ATC, I’m all for it. I don’t mind that it’s heavier.

@climbonequipment 2 месяца назад

Sounds like a perfect match for you! The learning curve going from ATC -> NEOX is waaay lower than it is going to a GRIGRI, especially for lead climbing.

I'd say it actually feels smoother than an atc!

@j.l.5966 Месяц назад

@@redanansi that’s amazing. I wonder if the heft of the device contributes to that, since the weight provides more stability. Kinda like how a sinker works with a fishing lure if that makes any sense. Anyway, I have an orange one on order!

@climbonequipment Месяц назад

@redanansi, I totally agree

@RajGiandeep 2 месяца назад

Have a NEOX on order. Looking forward to it. I have a grigri, but I really don't like to override the cam. I prefer the belay technique where you don't override the grigri cam and the NEOX will be perfect for me.

@climbonequipment 2 месяца назад

Great to hear you have one on order! It sounds like the NEOX is perfect for you. I have personally been quite pleasantly surprised by how well it handles.

@RajGiandeep 2 месяца назад

@@climbonequipment Great job on this video. Explains some questions I had on the device.

Thank you 🙏 We appreciate the support

Does the Neox twist the rope up like the grigri into a pile of coils?

@climbonequipment Месяц назад

It is less likely to twist the rope compared to the GRIGRI when belaying however if you are trying to drag someone up on TR or lowering them and excessively use the the right hand side friction plate you will most likely induce some twists. So far I have yet to have a super twisted rope as a result of the NEOX although I know it will happen at some point as that’s just the nature of these things. Generally speaking the straighter the rope can travel the less twists will be created.

@McGirr5799 2 месяца назад

Do you guys have any thoughts on using it for Lead Rope Solo?

@climbonequipment 2 месяца назад

Based on our initial testing, we would not recommend this. In addition to the potential issue of the device not grabbing fast enough, there is also the risk of the breaking mechanism or handle getting blocked, preventing it from engaging at all.

How does it compare to the Revo?

@climbonequipment 29 дней назад

Despite the Revo being decently smooth at pulling rope through it the Neox is even smoother when it comes to lead climbing. For hang-dog style top roping the Revo might be a bit nicer since it’s bit more grabby One of the biggest differences when compared to the Revo is how smooth it disengages after being in the locked position. I always found the Revo quite grabby. With the Neox you can simply just lean forward, unweighting the rope and things start moving again which is quite nice. No real need to manually manipulate the device which makes it quite enjoyable to use.
