NoBit BridleTM - Apollo
 The NoBit BridleTM is made from a space-age fabric constructed by bonding an advanced copolymer coating around a high strength fibrous webbing.
Known as "Apollo", this material is far superior to other plastic type fabrics as it is much softer to the touch, yet stronger and more durable than PVC or polyurethane (sometimes marketed as biothane or beta-biothane).
Apollo has been used for some time in the harness racing industry in Australia and is recognised as the product of choice in a sport where breakages can have very serious consequences for both the horse and driver. A copolymer is a compound of 2 or more polymers that produces a product with combined advantages of its constituent materials. It can therefore achieve properties far superior to its component materials. This principle is seen in steel production where carbon is combined with iron to produce a far superior outcome. In the case of Apollo, it combines the softness, strength and durability of the individual polymers in a single material.
All edges and holes are heat sealed to prevent the entry of contaminants that may affect the structural integrity, so any modification of the product will weaken the structure and therefore invalidate the warranty. Apollo is made in Australia by Australians entirely from Australian raw materials by a company that has been in business since 1975.
The Apollo material has a high breaking strain which is around 20 times stronger than leather. All metal fittings are made from stainless steel for maximum strength, long life, easy cleaning and good looks.
A top quality English Bridle Leather version of the NoBit BridleTM is now available. Made in Australia from top quality English bridle leather and finished with beautiful brass buckles and fittings this bridle is for those horses who appreciate the finer things in life. See our Leather Bridle page on this website for more information.
