Cool Video. The wear on the „tooth“ ist the same reason why I don’t like the revo as well. It’s just hard to trust your gear when you can’t inspect the mechanism inside.
Liked your point about being able to just look at your gear and tell if its up to scratch or not. Never would have considered that before when getting new gear 👍👍
Love the dedication to allowing your curiosity to reign supreme. Would be very interesting to know Perzl's estimated lifespan on the Neox. Would be keen on getting one though, although I'm a sucker for new shiny kit - I suppose I could tell my wife I won it! Haha
It’s interesting how different the Grigori and the Brix are working just by this wheel. Thanks for showing and explaining! I really like your channel and your effort trying to make this sport more safe by people understanding their equipment!
Now, you see Yann, THAT is how you remove that annoying little spring for your rope solo endevours - just another feat of this wonderful new device 😂 Kindest regards and just keep on sending, boys 😊
Thanks for sacrificing a perfectly good piece of gear so that we can all understand how it works! I think it will be perfect for sport/gym climbing. The GriGri plus feeds more smoothly than the older GriGris but it seems like to new Neox takes it to the next level! Thanks for a great video!
Great video, it's really interesting that petzl decided to make giving slack easier at the cost of what is probably a significantly shorter lifespan and no way to know if your approaching the end of the device's lifespan. Keep up the great videos
pretty cool to see the inside of it! I initially thought it was inspired of the centrifugal acceleration like for a seatbelt or for the Silent Partner. Cool to understand the actual mechanic.
Beal Birdie user here. New partners always question my belay device. I wonder if they would have more confidence if I used a Neox. Guess I'm entering the giveaway!
Hi, student here on a budget. My smart is working perfectly fine but I’m jealous of my mates with a grigri, just the ease of letting rope in lead belaying. Enjoyed the vid

Legally (in the USA) you have to make giveaways free to enter in order to avoid having an illegal lottery. Even some charity organizations have gotten in big trouble for that.
I love the neox. I do prefer traditional belay technique (not holding it the entire time) and I've always used the atc guide for bringing up a 2nd so it's perfect for me.
I didn't pick up from any of your other videos that I've seen in the past that you were professionally into rope access. That's pretty cool! I wonder if you have videos on this topic.
I do wonder if the idea for this came from sailing gear. That’s what it reminds me of. A main sheet block crossed with a grigri. Shoulda had you sign my trad dad shirt when I bumped into you and Yann in the gunks last year!
I’ve been using the mega jul for lead climb belaying but the new one has sharper edges and seems to put pig tail curls in my rope. I’ve been looking at this for a while and would love a chance to try it IRL! Thanks gorgeous the great video!
It was interesting to see what's inside it, my friend's Neox was basically grigri (Spinner stopped working almost entirely), after belaying for a few weeks on Very sendy crags. I hit it with some good blasts of high pressured air, and some WD40 to get it to work almost as new.
Tested the neox with a break knot and not holding on to the break side of the rope, it does slip quite a bit, so not a device for beginners. But if you know how to belay, it is awesome!
Hey, seems like your new neox doesn' t work properly, i would reccommend to return it, warranty should cover those accidental damages. (Thanx for the insider info tho, very interesting!)
I am still on the fence about this one. The reviews look good, but I am not sure I would need this for outdoor sport climbing. I still trust my ATC above all else.
I‘d definitely chose Neox over atc for any single pitch sport climbing outdoor or indoor. Much more comfortable in terms of effort required on the brake hand side once it’s locked (very little). And paying out slack is very very smooth, possibly even smoother than with an atc. For someone already used to a grigri and good at belaying with that device however, not so sure it’s worth switching. But imo the neox is basically a tube style device with added benefits. one obvious downside being the price. xD
Now I have a reason to finally get an angle grinder ❤️ Would you recommend the modifications? Do you see any safety issues regarding removing the rivet? Seems like decent weight savings.
Want!!! Watching with pop corn 🙂. First time I see what's in-there! Have you seen my video about the NEOX modification? Will send you a PM as YT would not publish a comment I'd post with a link here!

Best Comment! @MJ720 You deserve to win the Neox.
@@MJ720 #Winner!!!
Love how bomb proof the old gri gri is still going after all those years
Liked your point about being able to just look at your gear and tell if its up to scratch or not. Never would have considered that before when getting new gear 👍👍
Super cool, I always love watching how things work on the inside. Im fairly new to climbing and love seeing how this that keep me alive work!
Great video, love what you do in this channel, very useful and interesting information!
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I certainly agree that being able to visually inspect the wear of my kit is important.

Thanks for the Neox breakdown. I finally got to use one this past week and it’s so smooth! Smoother than an ATC even.
Now, you see Yann, THAT is how you remove that annoying little spring for your rope solo endevours - just another feat of this wonderful new device 😂 Kindest regards and just keep on sending, boys 😊
Thank you for furthering our understanding in the climbing community. I always wondered what mechanism exactly makes the click noises on the neox.

The simplicity of the grigri still amazes me. Such a beautiful piece of gear!
Very cool content! I got a helmet because of your vids. I also talked my buddy into using his too!
Thanks for making this video, really interesting to see how a Neox works
Thanks for sharing. Many of us have just enough experience and knowledge to be dangerous! Understanding = safety. Thanks for the enlightenment.
Great video, thanks for showing us the insides!
pretty cool to see the inside of it! I initially thought it was inspired of the centrifugal acceleration like for a seatbelt or for the Silent Partner. Cool to understand the actual mechanic.
Your OG grigri is looking gnarly, amazing that it still works! I'd call it the antiquox.

@@strikermartin6963 good to know!
Very informative as always - thanks for the great content!
I'm really comfortable with the GriGri so I've been on the fence with the Neox. You make a good point that it is only good for sport climbing.
really cool to see the inside, makes it make a lot more sense seeing how it works.
Who needs more climbing gear?
Been super curious about this and been looking forward to try it!
Yo, please put out some more climbing fails, I love to watch these
Looks like a real upgrade. Only used my old grigri for Ropesolo and hated it for belaying.
Thanks for the very informative video :)
Been subbed for years, love this channel, love the videos. Would love a neox!
Yay! Another video!
Awesome break down of unit
Would love one! Prefer the smoothness of an atc but my gym only allows grigri.. maybe I can trick them
very interesting device. Can see its benefit but not sure how much value over a grigri. Cool to to see the inside bits
I love the neox. I do prefer traditional belay technique (not holding it the entire time) and I've always used the atc guide for bringing up a 2nd so it's perfect for me.
Huh... thought it would be much more complicated, cool vid👍

Thanks very much, been super curious about the Neox
This type of engineering is like magic to me, thanks for lifting the veil
Ran over my gri gri last week… maybe for the better? The neox would be a sweet replacement.. appreciate the insight!
Thanks for the vid! Was curious what the click sound was
The Neox honestly looks like such a nice device and a really smart idea from petzl. Honestly the physics on it is interesting
Brand new and getting into sport climbing after really enjoying bouldering and top rope and would be so amped to win this!
Bad ass breakdown,thank you...
The clackety clack is when taking- in, which works on the back sde of that dog where it's ramped.
I do wonder if the idea for this came from sailing gear. That’s what it reminds me of. A main sheet block crossed with a grigri.
Shoulda had you sign my trad dad shirt when I bumped into you and Yann in the gunks last year!

Commenting to throw my hat in the ring. I want to see a video on the Edelrid Pinch.
Thanks for sacrificing the neon. That is one used and abused grigri.
Love your channel!
Looking forward to try the Neox. But with the price tag, I don't think it will replace my still rather new GriGri Plus though...
"Give it to me," he said, like a toddler demanding a cookie while riding a unicycle through a hallway full of Lego pieces.
Your old grigri probably runs as smooth as the neox without the sound! Just need wear😂
This a great post. Would this make a good Christmas gift???? Be safe
I’m happy to accept a new neox but that old one still looks BOMBERRRRR
Very interesting to see how the internals of this thing works. It's sad though that they didn't add some way easily checking the internals for wear
It was interesting to see what's inside it, my friend's Neox was basically grigri (Spinner stopped working almost entirely), after belaying for a few weeks on Very sendy crags. I hit it with some good blasts of high pressured air, and some WD40 to get it to work almost as new.
I had the exact same idea with just the small barrel bearing in regulat grigri. Sounds like much simpler solution.
haven't seen one in real life yet, but thanks to you already familiar with the inner values 😅
Tested the neox with a break knot and not holding on to the break side of the rope, it does slip quite a bit, so not a device for beginners. But if you know how to belay, it is awesome!
Hey, seems like your new neox doesn' t work properly, i would reccommend to return it, warranty should cover those accidental damages.
(Thanx for the insider info tho, very interesting!)
Very interesting, wouldn't the cam still cam if the notches are worn down if you hold the brake strand?
Hey Josh. Love your stuff. GIMME THAT NEOX!
Thanks for destroying an expensive piece of equipment to I didn't have to. Also, I really love the t-shirt I bought from your website!
It will definitely be interesting to see how they do with years of use--do they have a manufacturer-recommended lifespan?
Nice! Now you have spare parts to fix them.
Great video as always
Thanks for the insight, I’ve been wondering too.
I am still on the fence about this one. The reviews look good, but I am not sure I would need this for outdoor sport climbing. I still trust my ATC above all else.

I was wondering if they used a bearing on the spinning part, guess not.
Also would oiling the wheel make it spin even smoother? 🤔
Thanks for the video and raffling a Neox!
Great explanation
Love your videos !
the fomo is real! as ever, nice vid!
Thanks for looking under the hood!
Great video - but I will be honest…I never comment on video so I am here for the neoz 😅
Looks very specific to sport climbing
I agree that the neox will be difficult to inspect and clean.
It'll be interesting what kind of changes will be made with the device, if any, over time.
I juts love this channel
Nice video…I’ve always been curious what holds the internals of a Rig too.
Nice extraction!
Great upload 👍
fascinating teardown!
Looking at getting one but I really like the excuse of blaming my belayer for short roping me if I can't get the climb
Love your videos
Nice break test machine ;)
Wish you'd open me up to see what's inside, keep it real my short king xx
Cool content!

i will never forget the jingle clackle of the grigri
Nice, thanks !
Was there anything in the manual that explains when the device should be retired?
Did they fix the play between the plate an the body?
