Neue Schule Tranz Angled Lozenge Baucher
Neue Schule's Tranz Angled Lozenge Baucher is positioned as a technical market leader for alloy lightweight hanging cheek snaffle bits because its angled lozenge mouthpiece and precision engineering deliver refined lateral cues with minimal weight. Compared with the simpler sweet-iron and aluminum options on this list, it offers superior anatomical shaping and responsiveness for riders willing to pay a premium for performance and low weight, while remaining lighter than some steel alternatives like the Sprenger Dynamic RS.
