Nicole Hard Rubber Bit – Fixed Rings
Clear aids with a soft base
The Nicole Hard Rubber Bit with fixed rings combines firmness and softness in a single bit. Thanks to the fixed rings, the bit sits securely in the mouth, while the rubbery material maintains a gentler feel. This makes it ideal for horses that benefit from consistency but are sensitive to hard contact.
What makes this bit special?
✅ TPU / hard rubber with resilience
This mouthpiece is made of high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which combines the softness of rubber with added strength and durability — safer and more flexible than standard rubber.
✅ Slightly tapered in the middle
The bit is slightly tapered in the middle, reducing pressure on the tongue while still allowing the bars and cheeks to maintain contact for control.
✅ Fixed rings for stability
The fixed rings prevent the bit from slipping or turning. This keeps the connection straight and predictable—ideal for riders who want to give subtle aids without causing discomfort in the mouth.
✅ Two hardness options
-
Hard (dark green) — more structure for horses that can already handle some contact control
-
Soft (light green, within the line) — for horses that need extra gentleness
✅ Variety of sizes and thicknesses
Available in multiple lengths (105mm to 145mm) and thicknesses (16mm or 20mm) so you can tailor the fit to your horse's mouth shape.
