With the Supercam, Metolius has gone back to the drawing board!
The Supercam has extended the camming range well past that available with other designs while still retaining the increased holding power and safety that can only be achieved with the smaller cam angle of 13.25°
This safer cam angle increases the outward force by a critical 10% over other brands with larger cam angles. The cam faces have more than 30% extra contact surface compared to other brands, making rock fracture much less likely
Metolius's new aggressive, ratchet-style (Shark Fin) tooth pattern helps to set the cam during the initial load up event of a fall
The Supercam is a perfect example of Metolius's underlying design philosophy: safety, simplicity, reliability and long-term performance.
The magic in this design relies upon the simple concept of its asymmetry. The smaller-side cam lobes pass within the arc drawn by the larger side, allowing us to use the previously unused portion of the cam’s spiral
We also feel that this revolutionary new design increases overall cam stability in these notoriously unstable large sizes
