Anyone use the hitch climber rapid?

[jodystreeserv3]

I was just wondering if anyone has used the new hitch climber rapid. Is it better than the original?

I have one on order..I have heard good things about them, would be especially beneficial in competitions I would think, or in climbs where you have to access a lot of territory quickly

yes i just got it about a month ago and its smoother.

 

[jodystreeserv3]

what makes it different?

 

[GibsonTreeCare]

it has a bearing in it instead of just a bushing

I am just wondering what you guy's are using for friction cord, for example when using a poison ivy and a VT hitch?

Poison Ivy with HRC or Ocean P

I use poison ivy with 8mm beeline. I also use lava with beeline. Is HRC or Ocean P better than beeline?

I've got the rapide. It is WAY quieter and smoother than the original. You really notice it in a comp mostly on the work climb landing. I'm currently running Ice tail on poision ivy /blue moon.
