The twist locks have been engineered with a new design of Chicken Lips (shims), which give them greater strength and grip, and they feature new rubber O-pads for improved grip and leverage. The durable anodized metal leg latches feature an auto-engage lock and is used to open and position Ray's legs and to release them for reverse folding.
