The bit remains stable in the mouth, which reassures young or sensitive horses and makes the contact clearer. The Lock Up mechanism is the distinctive feature of this mouthpiece: beyond a certain angle, the double-jointed design locks, and the bit behaves like a straight mouthpiece in the mouth. It can no longer fold back on itself, meaning less excessive pressure on the palate and a gentler action than a simple-jointed bit. The Ergonomic range is designed around the anatomy of the mouth: the mouthpiece tapers inward where space is limited, distributing pressure more evenly. It is made from \u003cem\u003esweet iron\u003c\/em\u003e, a mild steel that develops a slightly sweet taste when it comes into contact with saliva: the horse chews more, salivates more, and accepts the bit more readily. The double-jointed models also feature a copper insert, making them even more appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✨ Key features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Double-jointed Lock Up mouthpiece, 14 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Fixed eggbutt cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Eggbutt cheek diameter: 6.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Sweet iron mouthpiece: sweet taste, salivation and chewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Mouthpiece tapers inward to distribute pressure more evenly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Copper insert in the center of the mouthpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Lock Up mechanism: the mouthpiece locks straight, with no nutcracker effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Stainless steel cheeks, with no free nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Very high corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e📋 Technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e eggbutt bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e double-jointed Lock Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEggbutt cheek diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece material:\u003c\/strong\u003e sweet iron, copper insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheeks:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🐎 Why choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet iron is not just a catalogue claim: it is a surface that is intentionally allowed to oxidize and develops a sweet taste when it comes into contact with saliva. A horse that finds its bit pleasant will chew, salivate, and remain in a soft contact. The trade-off is intentional—this metal is softer than stainless steel and develops a patina quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧴 Care instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse with clean water after each use and dry roughly. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not try to remove the bluish patina or rust spots: they are intentional\u003c\/strong\u003e; they are what gives sweet iron its sweet taste. Do not use abrasive products or a dishwasher. Sweet iron is softer than stainless steel: it shows marks more quickly, without affecting its use.
