New designs are born out of necessity or need. The use of sophisticated Computer Aided Design techniques and accurate manufacturing methods also allows NS to produce an extensive, ergonomically accurate range of mouthpieces and cheeks that perform consistently well

All of the NS bits are the product of in-depth research and development from strength testing and chemical analysis, to product trials and evaluation - the well-known patented Salox Gold material and patented designs are a testament to this.

NS Salox, the material of choice for NS bits, was selected for its excellent thermal conductivity which creates the ideal environment for bitting as it readily warms to the temperature of the mouth and retains this temperature, in basic terms the horse readily accepts the bit as it does not feel like a cold foreign object.
