In stead of the cable clamp (the wedge housing) at the CVT version, there's a gear ring around the foot slider. This ring is actually a drum with a left and a right side.

At the right side the shock cord (55 grammes) can be wound up and off.

Apart from the steel CVT cable (170 grammes), also a 3 mm dyneema cable (19 grammes) can be applied as a propulsion cable.

The lifespan of the dyneema cord is significant: 1100 km. If you reverse the cable in time the lifespan is doubled. Only the part that runs along the Snek wears out.

  • The ring is normally locked and can be unlocked by means of the clutch button which simultaniously blockes the Snek. By blocking the Snek also the propulsion cable and return cable is blocked. The picture below shows the locking mechanism of the gear ring.
  • If you move the foot slider backwards (of forward) while pushing the clutch button, the propulsion cable is wound on (or unwound from) the gear ring, by which more (or less) propulsion cable is left on the Snek. This results in a higher (or lower) gear.
