Sprenger KK ULTRA 14 mm Sensogan Double-Jointed Eggbutt Bit

Combine precise aids, stability and comfort in the horse’s mouth with the Sprenger KK ULTRA 14 mm Sensogan Double-Jointed Eggbutt Bit, a technical bit developed based on anatomical research to optimise the action of a double-jointed mouthpiece.

The KK ULTRA technology is distinguished by its shortened centre link positioned at a 45° angle, designed to act specifically on the central area of the tongue. Combined with fixed Eggbutt rings and Sensogan material, this design provides precise transmission of the rider’s aids while promoting a calm and stable position in the horse’s mouth.

KK ULTRA technology with a 45° angled centre link

The distinctive feature of Sprenger KK ULTRA bits lies in the specific design of their centre link.

Compared with a conventional double-jointed bit, the centre link is shorter and positioned at a 45° angle.

When the rider takes up the contact, this central element, sometimes referred to as the “olive” due to its distinctive shape, rolls gently over the central part of the horse’s tongue.

This action stimulates the tongue’s sense of touch and allows particularly precise transmission of the rider’s aids.

Anatomical double-jointed design for precise action

The double-jointed design allows the bit to adapt to the anatomy of the horse’s mouth while distributing its action across the tongue.

The shortened centre link is one of the main differences compared with conventional double-jointed bits.

This specific geometry optimises the action of the bit and encourages finer communication between the rider’s hand and the horse’s mouth.

Thanks to its versatility, KK ULTRA technology is used across a wide range of equestrian disciplines and at different levels of training.

Fixed Eggbutt rings for greater stability

This model features fixed Eggbutt rings, directly connected to the mouthpiece.

Unlike loose-ring bits, this design provides a more direct transmission of the rein aids to the tongue and lower jaw.

The fixed rings also provide slight lateral guidance and help keep the bit particularly calm and stable in the horse’s mouth.

This additional stability can be especially beneficial for horses that prefer a less mobile mouthpiece.

Protection for the corners of the mouth

The fixed Eggbutt ring design also helps protect the sensitive corners of the horse’s mouth.

As there is no movement between the mouthpiece and rings as found with some loose-ring bits, the risk of pinching is reduced.

This provides the horse with a stable mouthpiece that combines precise communication with enhanced comfort.

Slim 14 mm mouthpiece

With a 14 mm thickness, the KK ULTRA features a relatively slim mouthpiece.

This thickness can be particularly suitable for horses with limited space in the mouth, especially between the tongue and the palate.

However, the correct bit size and thickness should always be selected according to the individual anatomy and sensitivity of the horse’s mouth.

Sensogan to encourage bit acceptance

The mouthpiece is made from Sensogan, Sprenger’s specially developed alloy based on copper, manganese and zinc.

This material is designed to encourage salivation and chewing activity, helping to promote acceptance of the bit and relaxation in the horse’s mouth.

Combined with the anatomical geometry of the KK ULTRA, Sensogan contributes to a design focused on providing precise and comfortable contact.

A versatile bit for different disciplines

Thanks to its precise action and anatomical construction, the Sprenger KK ULTRA is used across a variety of equestrian disciplines and training levels.

It is an excellent option for riders looking for a double-jointed bit that provides precise action on the tongue, excellent stability and direct transmission of the aids.
