Mad Rock Super Tech Bent

The bent gate design is specifically engineered to make clipping the rope into your quickdraw faster and smoother. It creates a larger opening and guides the rope directly into the basket, which is essential when you are pumped or making a quick clip on a sport route.

Yes, the Super Tech Bent is an excellent choice for the rope-end of a quickdraw. Its lightweight profile and optimized gate clearance are designed specifically for that purpose.

Hot forging allows for a more precise distribution of metal, meaning the carabiner can be lighter without sacrificing strength. It results in a more durable, refined shape that is easier to handle than traditional stamped aluminum.

With a major axis strength of 24 kN, this carabiner is rated for standard climbing loads. The 9 kN open gate strength provides a safety buffer, though you should always aim to keep the gate closed while under load.

While the bent gate is optimized for sport climbing, it is fully certified (CE EN 12275) for various climbing applications. You can use it for trad climbing, though many climbers prefer straight-gate or wire-gate carabiners for gear-end placements.
