The B2x combines Atomic Aquatics' all-titanium second stage with a brass first stage finished in black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) over chrome plating. Atomic states that its DLC coating gives 16 times more protection than the raw metal, for wear and corrosion resistance beyond a plain chrome-plated first stage.

Main features

• First stage in chrome-plated brass with a black DLC coating, and Atomic's balanced Jet Seat high-flow piston.
• All-titanium second stage construction, the same as the T3.
• Automatic Flow Control (AFC) adjusts the venturi effect as depth changes, so there is nothing to set during the dive. A Rapid Adjustment Knob is there for special situations such as surf entries or octopus use.
• Patented polished 316 stainless steel Comfort Swivel with black PVD coating lets the second stage turn through 30° without the hose pulling, binding or kinking.
• Patented titanium Seat Saving Dynamic Orifice protects the seat in storage and helps the second stage keep its factory tuning.
• Pneumatically balanced poppet with a high-flow case and lever design, for easy breathing at all depths and tank pressures.
• Dual material second stage cover: the whole front works as the purge.
• Elliptical exhaust valve that reduces exhalation effort at depth.
• Dual silicone comfort fit mouthpiece with tear-resistant bite tabs.
• Optional colour kit (sold separately).
