DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Safety and Quick Release
You'll immediately notice the difference in deployment: the quick release has been completely redesigned for effortless activation, even under extreme tension. When you engage it, the traction stops instantly. You can then move without hesitation. We champion this safety logic to ensure that technical concerns never hinder your focus during critical maneuvers.
Grip and Ergonomics
The ergonomic grip significantly reduces forearm fatigue and enhances your hold in wet conditions. You'll maintain natural control even after hours on the water, with a firm, non-slip feel. We highly recommend this type of grip for frequent riders who want to minimize physical strain on the bar.
Lines and Responsiveness
The low aspect ratio lines transmit your movements without delay, boosting your precision in depower and fine steering of the kite. Whether you're chasing crisp power delivery for big air or a more precise feel in Surf, these lines forge a direct connection between your hands and the kite. We emphasize this for riders who crave to feel every micro-adjustment.
Adjustments and Modularity
You can adjust the bar in just a few simple steps: the settings are designed for rapid changes between different lines lengths (20 / 23 / 25 cm) and riding styles. We recommend experimenting with lengths based on your spot and your kite to discover the ideal stability / handling compromise for you. The simplicity of the adjustments makes this bar incredibly practical for riders who frequent multiple spots.
Construction and Durability
The design prioritizes robust components and a refined aesthetic. The quick release, bar ends, and connections are built for lasting durability in marine environments, and the chosen materials maintain their performance even after regular exposure to saltwater. We always recommend rinsing with fresh water after each session to extend the life of your gear.
On-water behaviour
On the water, the bar delivers a precise and predictable feel: linear depower, crisp power delivery, and hesitation-free safety activation. Whether you're boosting for a jump or locking in your position in Surf, you'll maintain clear steering. We recommend this approach to riders seeking the perfect balance between performance and peace of mind.
