Petzl Neox is a modern assisted-braking belay device designed for sport climbing at the gym and the crag, with a focus on smooth lead belaying. Its integrated wheel ensures very fluid rope handling and allows fast, controlled rope payout to the leader – perfect when you need to feed slack quickly for clips without fighting your device.
When the climber falls or sits back, the rope tensions, the wheel stops and the cam rotates to grab the rope and provide assisted braking. Engraved diagrams make rope installation intuitive, and the handling is consistent with other Petzl belay devices so the transition feels familiar, with one hand always kept on the brake strand. The ergonomic handle gives you fine control when lowering, and the lever’s mechanical advantage is tuned for comfortable use across a wide range of modern single rope diameters.
