König's Reflex Edge automatic chains are based on a clever development of their award-winning Easy-fit technology, with a spring loaded system which tightens the chain behind the wheel at the same as tightening it in front of the wheel. Reflex Edge are especially suitable for rear wheel drive vehicles which have very little space in the wheel arches – you just push the rigid inner hoop of chain over the top of each wheel - and they provide particularly good protection against chain damage to alloy wheel rims.
Reflex Edge are also tangle-free, so they always come out of their carrying bag ready to fit. In summary, they’re a very significant innovation in snow chain technology.

Why buy Reflex Edge? You may well have a rear-wheel drive car that’s usually "useless in snow” and also has so little space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch that there’s no space to get your hands and forearms in to fit traditional types of snowchain, or even to push an AutoSock over the top of the tyre. Reflex Edge are of course also suitable for fitting to front wheels; they are a premium priced chain but still good value, bearing in mind the ease of fitting. You also want a snowchain that’s very low profile and is designed to minimise the risk of damage to alloy wheel rims. You will also definitely need a solution to keep your car moving in snowy weather, either here in the UK or perhaps on a ski-drive holiday to the Alps. Who should use Reflex Edge? If you’re reading this page then it’s your good luck that there is a size for your car and tyre combination! Our database includes the latest vehicle applications, all checked out by König. You may find that your car handbook includes a "No fit for snowchains”, almost certainly referring to the traditional type of snow chain; these Reflex Edge will be fine if fitted correctly - the hoops and chain are only 7mm thick. Fitting: The Reflex Edge consists of a rigid outer hoop for the front of the wheel and a rigid inner hoop for the inside of the wheel, with 7mm chain (twisted 9mm chain for strength) suspended between the hoops. A built-in tensioning cord links both hoops, and there’s a spring-loaded tensioner, attached to the outside hoop, that takes up the slack at the touch of a lever and keeps the chain at optimum tension during the journey.
You should be able to fit Reflex Edge in approximately 15 seconds a side, without effort, and without getting your hands or clothes dirty. Fantastic! Removal:
These words might give the impression that this is a complex operation. Not at all; it’s both easy and intuitive. Check out the Fitting instructions and videos tab to see how it’s done! Technical stuff:

There are two parts to our snow chains offer this year: (1) Clearance prices on many top branded snow chains, including RUD and Thule - an amazing opportunity for those who are quick off the mark! Thule (who are the biggest brand in the car racks market) have sold their snow chains division; the same chains are now being sold under the König brand. Thule branded chains have the same specifications as the König branded versions - all that has changed is the name on the chain and the name on the box. (2) Multibuy discounts - significant discounts if you buy two pairs of snow chains at the same time, or one pair of chains and one pair of AutoSock: If you do either of these things, we will discount the snow chains as follows:
As usual, you change the quantities in the Shopping Basket. Many customers will, for example, use snow chains on their driving wheels for Alpine use, and use AutoSock on the non-driving wheels, especially if these are the steering wheels. Also note that AutoSock work very well in very wet snow, even on slush, where snowchains are often not suitable because they can't get any grip in the snow. So having both AutoSock and snowchains makes sense from at least two different perspectives. |
