It was the first of the new generation I-beam carabiner and DMM put everything they 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.
Incorporates a shrouded, keylock nose to avoid the carabiner snagging on tapes or bolts, which is particularly useful when stripping steep routes or when the biner is used for racking gear.
This is the biner of choice for a lot of DMM’s sponsored climbers.
Some manufactures make their biners as small as possible just to save weight, but at DMM they don’t see the point of being able to call a biner the lightest in the world if it’s too small to be used. Thus the Spectre is a good size and is large enough to be used with gloves for winter climbing.
DMM were the first to develop the idea of I beam biners and it is this technology together with their experience in forging 7000 series alloys which has enabled them to make this biner so light and so versatile.
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.
