Black Diamond X4 Review

I also like the x4 s armored stem a series of overlapping metal rings that sheath the cable.

Black diamond x4 review.

Black diamond is slowly phasing out the x4 and c3. In fact the four cam lobes on the 0 5 and 0 75 x4 sit in the same space as just three of the four lobes found on the same size black diamond c4. Black diamond crafted one of the most versatile pieces of trad climbing protection with its ingenious new z4 camalot. The armored stem and the x4 s shortened trigger wires which are kevlar in the four largest sizes should make the x4 exceptionally durable a key point for lazy me who has a junk pile of cams with busted trigger wires or kinked stems.

Work in a few purchase referral links and call it a day. Starting in 2020 black diamond will have 3 cam lines not including the corresponding offsets. The recently updated 2019 c4 s the ultralights also updated for 2020 to have sandblasted lobes too and the new z4 s. 5 master cam v.

Love the land make a plan. The best face. They are an excellent choice for free climbing especially if you are well versed in the bd color scheme and don t want to have to learn a new one.

0 75 x4 head width comparison. Here s how the range looks. Wish this was actually a review instead of just the standard parroting of product specs and enthusiastic thumbs up but i guess that s the way online reviews work these days. The black diamond x4s have the quality and durability we ve come to expect from black diamond and complement a rack of c4s nicely.
