Spire IR2 - New Design

The new design includes a tool less top shell removal that is new to the Spire IR platform. On the original Spire IR the design included a back button plate that was known for wearing out over time and needing to be replaced. The New Top Shell design has eliminated the possibility of a broken back plate saving the players money and headache while increasing the level of dependability we expect from the Spire IR2 platform. 

The Spire Ir2 loader is even lighter than the original design and comes now with a new drive cone design. This soft finger design allows you to shoot the most brittle paintballs without the concern of the hopper breaking them before they make it into your paintball gun. The drive assembly is easily removed to clean and service quickly between games just in case you find yourself with dirt or broken paint inside your hopper. 

The electronics used into the Spire IR hopper system uses 3 eye sensors that help the loader know when your paintball gun needs more paintballs. This prevents you as a player from waiting on paintballs when you need them the most. 

The new Spire IR2 will be known as the best hopper under $200 once they are released and available in stores.
