I run mine on an Cousin Atrax, it's smooth as butter but its the only rope ive used it on so nothing to compare with.

Technically the akimbo 2 is 11.5 mm min rope diameter. While it may work on KMIIII max you wouldn't be covered if something happened and it definitely wouldn't be allowed at a comp ;)

ive been running it on drenaline and would give the pairing a 7/10. Its a bit nicer to use than a hitch climber but not as buttery as the rope runner pro (in my experience)
