The Dragon Cam is a patented twin axle, single stem camming device that is the perfect mainstream cam for traditional climbing. Designed without compromise to produce a blend of strength, lightness and functionality.
The cams use a single stem with hot forged cams mounted on a dual axle. DMM have kept Ray Jardines original 13.75° constant camming angle that maximises holding power without compromising range. They have also kept the extendable, double dyneema sling that saves on quickdraws and reduces the weight of your rack even further. These are the fundamentals around which Dragons are designed.
The Dragons are made in six sizes to cover a range from 20mm to 114mm.
The cams use relatively strong springs - this means the units feel slightly harder to retract, but the advantages are worth it: they will sit more securely in placements, they will have improved resistance to being pulled out of low friction placements and they will walk less.
The patented thumb termination uses an aluminum forging that is massively strong, resistant to abuse and crucially allows the use of an extendable sling.
The stem uses 5.5mm stainless steel wire cover in a hydrolised nylon sleeve. The nylon sleeve rotates freely to reduce abrasion damage and gives the units really good flexibility throughout 360°. In addition DMM have used very short terminations that increase flexibility. Thus when the cams are placed in shallow vertical or horizontal cracks the units are less likely to be levered out of the placement.
The trigger bar is made from the same material and is very positive in use with sufficient relief to offer grip to the sweatiest of fingers.
