Petzl Neox Belay Device

A belay device with cam-assisted blocking, optimised for lead climbing - take it with you on your next descent.

Take your belay game to the next level. NEOX is an assisted blocking belay device for the gym and the crag. Ideal for both lead and top rope climbing, it has an integrated wheel that allows you to smoothly and quickly pay out slack to the climber. Its ergonomic handle provides comfortable descent control, allowing you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone. Cam-assisted blocking makes for a more comfortable belay: when the climber falls or weights the system, the rope tightens, the wheel stops spinning, and the cam pivots to pinch and block the rope. It also offers leeway for the brake-side hand position, regardless of the angle between the climber side and brake side of the rope. The 3:1 mechanical advantage from the handle and camming mechanism helps reduce the amount of effort needed to smoothly control the rate of descent, regardless of rope diameter. Finally, the device is easy to use, with a diagram engraved on the device for rope installation, and feeding slack and catching falls are accomplished using techniques standard to all Petzl belay devices, always keeping a hand on the brake side of the rope. It is compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimised for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm, and all plastic components are made with recycled nylon for an eco touch.
