Their website mention potential wear on the Graphtec pins. Doesn't seems to be rollers; maybe not needed.
It looks like graphite pins but could be a the teflon-impregnated polymer Graphtec use for some of their other products.
I resently had very good discussions with them about such materials. If that's what's used. it's very hard'n'slippery. Comments?

You can adjust how strong or weak the zero-positioning force is - the looser it is the closer you get to a full floating feel, the tighter it is the more abuse, retuning, string breakage it can handle without throwing the rest of the strings out of tune. Like I say it's very similar to the Ibanez Zero-Point system, they both use a layer of cushioning material so that when the tone block meets the back-stop bar there's little or no contact sound.
Having tried it I wouldn't expect to hear any clicks when the bar meets the zero-point unless you remove the cushioning material and set the trem action at maximum stiffness.
