ABOUT US
IN FEUDAL JAPAN, RONIN WERE THE SAMURAI THAT WERE BOUND TO NO MASTER; THEY ANSWERED TO NO LORD AND FORGED THEIR OWN PATHWAY.
Out of this ancient mythos the Ronin Revolution was born, allowing users to experience the freedom of movement they desire; No longer bound by gravity in pursuit of their passions at height, without limits.
THE MISSION OF RONIN REVOLUTION
is to develop safer, more innovative products that will transform
the way you work, play, and live.
With the design of each new product we integrate our proven manufacturing process derived from over 30 years of experience in the development of rescue hoists and winches for helicopter applications. Ronin products are designed to keep you safe, reduce climber fatigue, and to prolong your enjoyment of the climbing experience over your lifetime. No matter what you are climbing, Ronin products make reaching new heights safer and easier.
