Description
The TRUBLUE SPEED Auto Belay is based on our TRUBLUE, the most widely used and trusted auto belay in the world. Retraction speed is fast enough to outrun even the world’s elite speed climbers, and our magnetic braking provides the familiar, gentle descent of a TRUBLUE.
TRUBLUE’s self-regulating magnetic braking system is the result of years of research, development, and testing. Our auto belay is designed for climbers and engineered for safety. TRUBLUE Auto Belays are engineered to meet the strictest safety standards, including extensive testing by one of the leading certification bodies in the world, TÜV/SÜD Product Service GmbH.
The TRUBLUE SPEED is available in two webbing lengths:
- 12,5 meter (41 ft.)
- 16 meter (52,8 ft.)

Benefits
- Same Magnetic Braking: It’s the same patented magnetic eddy current braking that climbers have come to love because of the gentle descent
- Same Reliability and Low Maintenance: Eddy current magnetic braking is friction-free and has no sacrificial wear parts in the braking system, so our devices are extremely reliable and low maintenance
- Retraction Speed: The TRUBLUE SPEED Auto Belay retracts at 2.7 seconds for a 10m wall, and 3.5 s for a 15-meter wall which will outpace IFSC standards and is fast enough for current and future world records
- Pulling Force: Per IFSC standards, the TRUBLUE Speed Auto Belay exerts minimum force on a climber, so the results are all yours
