Notch Vertec Aeris Friction Body Kit

The Notch Vertec Aeris Friction Body Kit upgrades your Rope Runner Vertec for faster, smoother descents. Provides significantly reduced friction and improved slack management in the canopy, perfect for advanced tree climbers who prioritize speed.

Notch Vertec Aeris Friction Body Kit

The Notch Vertec Aeris Friction Body Kit is an upgrade specifically designed for professional arborists and tree climbers who want to optimize their Rope Runner Vertec for maximum speed and efficiency. The kit replaces the lower bollard with a compact, free-running pulley, resulting in significantly lower friction, lightning-fast controlled descents, and exceptionally smooth slack management during limb walking and technical movements in the canopy. Installation is quick, taking under a minute with a 5 mm hex key (not included), and the Rope Runner Vertec retains full CE certification according to Regulation (EU) 2016/425.

The Aeris kit prioritizes speed and efficient rope tending without compromising control. It is ideal for experienced users who seek instant response – from zero to full speed – transforming an already smooth device into one that is both gentle and lightning-fast. The kit is a direct replacement based on user feedback for better compatibility with thicker ropes and larger carabiners, with an extended lower attachment point for easier tending.
