Click Bar 2025 Innovations
Presenters
Join Thomas and Adrien from GlissEvolution as they walk you through the innovations of the Click Bar 2025 in this video.
Thinner Grip and Center Part Bearing
The Click Bar's diameter has been reduced by 20%. This gives you a finer, more precise grip. This change significantly reduces fatigue during long sessions. The new center part bearing also offers 30% more movement in the central part, greatly improving responsiveness and steering comfort.
Movable axis
The trim/depower system has been optimized with a movable axis that adapts to the bar's tilt. This feature makes the lines slide smoothly, even when the bar is angled. This improves control and fluidity of movement. Freestylers and freeriders will notice a significant difference in steering fluidity.
Metal V-distributor
The old plastic V-distributor is replaced by a metal ring. This new component improves safety by limiting the risk of tangling the lines. It also ensures better durability. You will find this same improvement on the 2025 Trust Bar.
PU Depower Line and Reinforced Pigtails
The depower line is now made of PU with reduced outer dimensions for better fluidity. The pigtails are reinforced with targeted sheathing only in necessary areas. This increases their wear resistance while maintaining lightness. The result is greater longevity, even after intensive use.
