A belay device with cam-assisted locking optimized for lead climbing:
- Allows belaying the lead climber and on a pulley.
- Optimized for lead climbing thanks to the wheel integrated into the device that enables smooth rope feeding, giving rope to the climber even more easily and quickly.
- Belay comfort thanks to cam-assisted locking: due to a fall or the climber's rest, the rope tightens, the wheel locks, then the cam pivots and grips the rope to lock it.

The Petzl Neox presents itself as an exceptionally designed assisted belay device for climbers who prioritize safety and ease in their gear. The materials used are not only durable but also reflect a commitment to sustainability. The aluminum side plates and other stainless steel components ensure durability and lightness, while the handle made of recycled polyamide highlights Petzl's eco-design philosophy.
One of the standout features of this model is its assisted braking system. This mechanism allows the rope to tighten in the event of a fall or simply when the climber is at rest, causing the wheel to lock and the cam to pivot, effectively pinching the rope. This not only adds an additional layer of safety but also enhances the climber's confidence in critical situations.
The integrated wheel in the device facilitates smooth rope sliding, resulting in a comfortable and controlled experience when feeding rope to the climber. This aspect is essential when climbing in challenging conditions where every second counts, with the Petzl Neox capable of reducing the effort required to manage the rope, allowing focus to remain on the ascent.
Additionally, the ergonomics of the belay device provide intuitive and accessible use for climbers of all levels. The design allows one hand to remain on the rope while assisting the movement, creating essential trust and security for correctly belaying the climber. This is further complemented by the 3:1 gear ratio on the handle, achieving greater control over the rope’s movement, especially useful when working with smaller rope diameters.
Moreover, the Neox's compatibility with dynamic ropes between 8.5 and 11 mm opens up a range of possibilities for its use, providing flexibility and versatility in different climbing scenarios. Its recommendation for optimal diameters between 8.9 and 10.5 mm ensures superior performance, making this belay device an even more strategic choice for serious and competitive climbers.
In summary, the Petzl Neox is not just a belay device; it is a tool that enhances safety and instills confidence in the climber, without neglecting comfort and sustainability in its construction. It is a product that understands the needs of the modern climber and responds to them with precision and effectiveness, becoming an indispensable companion on every ascent.
