Beal Be Link Bi-Matic

This carabiner is specifically designed for static connections, such as lanyard ends or anchor points. Its asymmetrical shape and auto-locking gate make it ideal for situations where you need a secure, reliable connection that is easy to manage without constant rope movement.

The Bi-Matic system is an auto-locking mechanism that requires two distinct movements—typically a twist and a pull—to open the gate. This design significantly reduces the risk of the carabiner accidentally opening while in use, providing an extra layer of security for your connections.

Yes, it features a keylock nose design. This is a crucial detail because it prevents the carabiner from snagging on ropes, slings, or your harness gear loops when you are clipping or unclipping.

While it is certified for climbing (EN 12275), its design is optimized for static connections rather than quickdraws. The auto-locking gate is safer for anchors, but it will be slower to operate than a standard wire-gate or solid-gate carabiner when you are clipping a rope during a lead climb.

The major axis strength of 26 kN is the standard for climbing carabiners, ensuring it can handle significant forces. The 8 kN minor axis and 7 kN open gate ratings are standard for this class of carabiner, meaning it is robust enough for typical climbing and rigging applications when loaded correctly.
