Watch LessonBomber Blue Elliptical Lock Up
The Bomber Blue material is a nylon composite and has been on the global market for over a decade. It has proven to be a well-received alternative to steel and other synthetics. It is porous encouraging salivation and acceptance.
We have carefully blended the stainless-steel joints with the Bomber Blue material to create a smooth profile.
The underlying steel core provides the rigidity and strength, with the Bomber Blue material injection moulded around this spine, reducing the overall weight and providing a more accepted surface for contact.
At the foundation is a stainless-steel spine around which the Bomber Blue nylon material is injection moulded, providing a smooth sleek profile where the non-metal material lines up with the steel elements, giving an overall ergonomic shape that sits comfortably in the horse’s mouth without any unnecessary pressure points. Winner of the BETA 2024 New Product Award.
There are many factors beyond our control that can contribute to the horse chewing the bit, thus we are not able to cover the non-metal mouthpieces with our lifetime guarantee.

Functionality
The Elliptical is stronger than the Control Plate due to it concentrating pressure onto a smaller surface area. This bit will suit a horse that pushes the bit with its tongue. The horse will lower its head and tuck its chin in, finding a better balance of control.
The Elliptical creates a pressure point on the tongue due to the center component concentrating pressure on a small surface area. The Locks in the mouthpiece allows the mouthpiece to retain the correct shape in the horses mouth. Pressure descends onto the bars and due to the mouthpiece being a semi-broken mouthpiece, it will hinder creating a squeeze on the bars – the extra piece of metal that has been added prevents the mouthpiece from folding backwards therefore creating little, to no squeeze on the bars. The Bomber Blue Elliptical Lock Up is curved to soften bar pressure and squeeze on the bars, by spreading pressure over a larger surface area.
The Elliptical is available in the Bomber Blue material. The nylon composite material is light in the mouth and encourages salivation. It is particularly well suited to horses that object to metal mouth pieces. The semi-broken, Bomber Blue Elliptical Lock Up, has limited movement.
