When looking for snow chains for Vans, Pick-up and Motorhomes, the König XD-16 is the classical snow chain with manual tensioning for that you do not expect.
In fact, while most of the manual tensioning chains on the market follow a “me-too” approach with very basic funzionalities, the König XD-16 is a true whitefly in the segment. The product comes with a complete list of features which are typically uncommon on manual tensioning snow chains: starting with the patented König Micro-Adjust, a full coverage cross-section design and the Wheel-Shield Level 2 protection system.
The König XD-16 snow chain is a supplementary grip device certified according to Ö-Norm V5117, EN 16662-1 and Ö-Norm V5119 thus fulfilling any Winter Equipment legal requirement both for light (below 3.5t) and heavy (above 3.5t of GVW) vehicles.
Once the snow chain is fitted on the wheel, the manual tensioning requires the driver to stop after a few dozen meters to retension the snow chains manually. The fixation of the chain after mounting and tensioning is provided by the elastic end red hook.
1 of 5The König Wheel-Shield Level 2 offers an effective alloy wheel protection from the typical scratches of unprotected snow chains.
With the Wheel-Shield level 2 side hooks are covered by a specific set of nylon bumpers which detatch side elements from the rim profile.
2 of 5Adjusting links are connected to the front closing hook and they allow the front side of the chain to get smaller or larger to allow a more precise snow chain fit on different tyre sizes, profiles and wear level.
3 of 5The micro-adjustability function on traditional fitting snow chains is represented by the König Micro-Adjust and locking devices paired together: the trigger of the locking device controls the sliding of the Micro-Adjust plastic cones and locks with approximately 8mm snaps.
The König Micro-Adjust technology provides an easy-to-handle and effective tensioning solution, 3 time more precise than the conventional tensioning chains.
4 of 5The König XD-16 features a double spring system placed on the lower side chain, close to the looking device.
Such springs are meant to offer a pretensioning of the snow chain and to enlarge / reduce to lenght of the side chain allowing a perfect fit on different tyre profiles and wear levels.
