PXR— the cleat you tune for the way you race

Designed for precision control, these cleats feature an adjustable release spring that allows you to control how easy the camcleat is to release-an industry first. The incorporated three-stage release spring can be pre-set for the prevailing conditions and application. Select lighter settings for continuously trimmed sheets, traveller controls, vangs and similar controls. Harder settings for halyards and occasionally adjusted lines.

While sailing, the roller action of the PXR keeps the release effort easy, even as the wind strength increases. A high-performance development of the successful PX range, the PXR is sized for performance rope ranges 2–6mm and 8–10mm. SW-series versions come with a swivel-mount. T-series versions (cleats with retro bases) use the same (27mm and 38mm) hole centers as traditional camcleats, allowing direct retrofit anywhere without drilling. The VP is a pivoting sheave and cleat unit for mast base or track.
