From the time it was introduced, the Spire has been at the top of the loader scene all over the world. Now, with the Virtue Spire IR2, paintball's best value-to-performance loader is even more reliable and durable. This Spire iR2 has a third generation drive system which is soft on paint and geometrically optimized with a 9-ball raceway to feed at high rates of fire without the user ever having to worry about their loader jamming. The interlocking shell design holds together on tough dives so there's no need to worry about it coming apart during intense plays. Ease-of-use features like a tool-less lid for a quick change to a speed feed, and a 2-piece tool-less shell for quick battery changes and cleaning, make maintenance simple. 9-Ball Raceway: Never Pulses, Never Jams With the 9-ball raceway and 5-finger Spire IR² drive, the Spire can feed faster and more consistently while still being able to feed even the worst paintballs you can find without jamming. The updated sensors are quieter and remove unnecessary pulsing, giving you a more efficient loader. Intelligent Proactive 3-Eye Feeding To ensure your marker never misses a shot, the 3-eye feeding technology continuously monitors the paint in your loader with 3 shielded infrared eyes. One eye tracks the gap between the stack across the entire feeding cycle, while the other two monitor the ball stack. Softer on Paint This third-generation Spire drive is built from a combination of flexible rubber and nylon to feed the most fragile paint being made today. The upgraded Spire IR² drive is lighter and less bulky, but most important to the end user, it's more durable and reliable. Durable Nylon Tool-Less Shells Durability and stable construction are extremely important features in a hopper, which is why the Spire IR² boasts a durable nylon top and bottom shell that interlocks reliably every time. Better Battery Life Thanks to its proactive IR² feeding logic and optimized electronics, this is the most battery-efficient Spire to date. For even better performance and reliability, add the Virtue N-Charge battery pack to your Spire loader. Quick-Change Speed-Feed & Spring Ramp Like the previous model, this version works with the Spire III/IV, Crown SF III, or Bunker Kings NTR speed feed, and it can be changed out in seconds. The original Spire Spring Ramp also works in this new hopper model, helping feed those last few balls even when shooting at odd angles.
