Loose rings provide direct contact with immediate release, where the pressure on the tongue and bars ceases as soon as the rider releases the rein and the bit returns to a neutral position in the horse's mouth.
Elliptical Lock Up is a three-piece mouthpiece with a locked, elliptically shaped center piece. It is sharper than the Control plate because the contact area with the tongue is smaller. This means that a horse that uses its tongue to push against the bit to take control will come back and tuck in its nose, making it easier to control. By locking the center piece, the nutcracker effect is prevented, resulting in less pressure on the horse's bars. In turn, this increases the pressure on the tongue slightly, making it a sharper bit than, for example, the Ported kernel.
Bombers bits are manufactured in South Africa and are completely handmade, which gives a unique opportunity to choose exactly how every little detail of the bit should be designed. You can choose the type of mouthpiece you want, the type of rings/cheeks, how thick the bit should be, and even if you want different lengths on the right and left sides of the mouthpiece. The mouthpieces are made of sweet iron and brass and are shaped to distribute pressure over a larger area, while the rings/cheeks are made of stainless steel.
