Core Sensor 2s Control Bar

$ 529.00 USD

Light. Direct. Safe.

Core's new Sensor 2s Bar. It has a unibody 4-line bar with the S-System.

Core believes that the better your gear the better your session so they have been striving to bring you the most fun and reliability!

The functional know-how they hide inside and the minimalist design on the outside gives their bars the signature CORE confidence you expect. And the safety features you rely on.

Meet the new Sensor 2S. An intelligent mid-cycle update to the exceptional Sensor 2. A bar, where engineering ingenuity meets minimalism; where ceramic bearings are used to eliminate friction in the auto untwist function; and where Tectanium is used to make the thinnest and most aerodynamic depower lines. Technical innovations that make the Sensor 2S bar system peerless. Sometimes, it's what you don’t see, that makes it so good. Still not good enough for you? Then, you are ready for the new Sensor 2S Pro.

S-SYSTEM

CERAMIC UNTWIST: frictionless, ceramic bearings that untwist front lines
TECTANIUM S-SLIDE / DEPOWER LINES: really durable, self-lubricating, no pinch, no stretch, depower line
S-NECK: routes the depower lines for perfectly symmetric pulling forces. Smoother, front line, untwist. And zero unwanted leverage
24-METER LINES: High breaking resistance lines manufactured in Germany to the highest standards.

230g UNIBODY BAR: light and easy steering with high definition feedback
TITANIUM CORE: extremely stiff and optimized power flow
SUPPORTED SINGLE FRONTLINE SAFETY (SSF): prevents line twisting and quicker positioning to the perfect re-launch position
ROTOR QUICKRELEASE: easy and reliable release in every situation
SENSOR ADJUSTER: easy and finely adjustable trimming
SPLICED ENDS: super robust spliced line ends
VARIO WIDTH: one bar for all kite sizes
EXCHANGEABLE BAR INSERTS: super easy depower and protection for your lines
SHORT SAFETY LEASH: safer and more comfortable

Sensor 2S+

The Sensor 2S+ bar has the same great new features as the Sensor 2S however it also has four line length options.

This allows you to easily and inexpensively have a larger wind range on your kite! You can have 18m, 20m, 22m, or 24m lines. The bar comes rigged and ready to ride at the standard 24m line length.

Sensor 2S Pro

The Sensor 2S Pro bar has a carbon unibody bar along with the Tectanium Lines and S-System.

The Pro bar is the only, titanium trussed, carbon fiber control bar. A bar that exhausts superlatives.

Core has created a 100% carbon fiber, thin grip, unibody bar reinforced with a titanium alloy truss. Although it shares many of the same features as their sensational Sensor 2S bar, it is profoundly different in that it features a full carbon fiber bar and 100% Tectanium lines, top to bottom.

The Sensor 2s Pro carbon bar weighs 200g making it the lightest bar on the market. Why is this important to you? Because it delievers more direct feedback and steering of the kite.

In addition to being super light the full Tectanium® lines are up to four times more stretch resistant, they have a 50% higher break load, and are 10% thinner and lighter.

* The New Sensor S-System components are not backwards compatible with Sensor bar systems.

What They Say:
One of the most important aspects when kiting is how the kite feels whilst flying. What most people don’t know is that the bar system has just as an important role to play, in the way the kite feels, as the kite itself. The technical development of the bar is of particular importance for CORE. When you take the brand new SENSOR 2 bar system on the water you will be suitably impressed. The SENSOR 2 bar weighs almost nothing, but is packed full of high tech and know how. It's as if it turns every kite on, making it more direct and providing better feedback, just as if your senses where fused with the kite lines. The SENSOR 2 bar shines with lots of innovative features that make it a high performance piece of equipment.

230g UNIBODY BAR: light and easy steering with high definition feedback
TITANIUM CORE: extremely stiff and optimized power flow
EXCHANGEABLE BAR INSERTS: super easy depower and protection for your lines
24m OR VARIO LINES: High breaking resistance lines manufactured in Germany to the highest standards.
SUPPORTED SINGLE FRONTLINE SAFETY (SSF): prevents line twisting and quicker positioning to the perfect re-launch position.
100% SELF UNSWIVELLING: sort lines after every rotation
ROTOR QUICKRELEASE: easy and reliable release in every situation
SENSOR ADJUSTER: easy and finely adjustable trimming
SPLICE ENDS: super robust spliced line ends
VARIABLE BAR WIDTH: one bar for all kite sizes
SHORT SAFETY LEASH: safer and more comfortable
EVA GRIP: always the perfect grip

What We Think:
Super light, the Sensor bar leaves you amazed when you spend just a few minutes with it. There is no other depower system that works as well or as easy. With a self seating and unseating cleat, you never have to wrestle with your bar just to adjust the power. The Rotor safety ejection system is intuitive and simple to reset. The term "benchmark" is a bit cliche, we just think every bar should be this good.

321 Go:
Adjustable length bar and depower throw and the simple, clean design.

321 No Go:
If you have heard the rave reviews and want to add this to your non-Core brand kite, you will need pigtail adapters due to the "Kook Proof" ends. (loops-outside/ knots-inside)

Core Sensor Pro Bar

$ 699.00 USD

This bar, is by far the lightest bar on the market. As the innovators and most experienced manufacturer of carbon kite boards we’ve used all our innovation and experience to use this, exceptionally light and stable material, in the manufacture of a new bar system. The SENSOR PRO bar is a result of three years development and while basically the same as our SENSOR 2 bar it differs significantly in the choice of materials.

CARBON FIBRE BAR

The unibody bar of the SENSOR PRO is manufactured from an ultra stiff Carbon and Titanium compound. The weight is reduced to the magical 200 gram mark, with an equivalent breaking strength and even higher stiffness.

TECTANIUM® LINES

The brand new TECTANIUM® lines are high end tech. They were exclusively developed for CORE by a renowned German manufacturer. The all-black line sets are slightly thinner and 10 percent lighter, whilst boasting a 50 percent higher break load. The improved stretch resistance results in unequalled precise and direct steering, which is especially evident in waves or when pulling off kite loops. It also enables explosive, and even higher jumps. The lines can effortlessly be adapted to varying lengths: 24, 22, 20 and 18 meter. Our TECTANIUM® lines also score highly in durability, thanks to the special coating process which results in the lines being considerably more resistant to wear and tear. Further more the SENSOR PRO Bar boasts the same innovation and proven features of the SENSOR 2 bar system.

Key Features at a glance:

210g CARBON BAR - by far the lightest bar on the market for even more direct feedback and steering of the kite.
TITANIUM CORE - extremely stiff and optimized power flow.
TECTANIUM® LINES - up to four times more stretch resistant, 50% higher break load, 10% thinner and lighter.
VARIO LINES - 24, 22, 20, and 18m freely adjustable.
EXCHANGEABLE BAR INSERTS – super easy de-power line protection.
100% SELF UNSWIVELLING – untwisted lines after every rotation.
SUPPORTED SINGLE FRONTLINE SAFETY (SSF) – immediate pressure release and quicker repositioning for relaunch.
ROTOR QUICKRELEASE – easy and reliable release in every situation.
SENSOR ADJUSTER - easy and finely adjustable trimming.
SPLICE ENDS - super robust spliced line ends.
VARIO WIDTH - one bar for all kite sizes.
SHORT SAFETY LEASH - safer and more comfortable.
EVA GRIP - always the perfect grip.

LINE LENGTH ADVISOR
Three years ago we introduced different line length ranging from 19 to 27 metres as the length of the flying lines can make a huge difference to the way the kite flies. Different styles of riding, different kite models or the kite size can be influencing factors that require different line length. In order to further increase this synergy effect the 19 and 22 m lines come on a medium bar (49/42 cm) and the 24 and 27 m lines on a large bar (53/46 cm). The bar is the rider’s first point of contact with the kite. In order to achieve a maximum comfort when riding it is essential to match the kite and the rider’s style of riding to the correct line length.

19m (70% Handling / 30% Power)
Super fast and reactive turning speeds, shorter lines are best for extreme freestyle and crazy kite loops. They are also excellent for wave riding, where the kites turning speed is important. Wakestyle riders enjoy the close connection to the kite too. The disadvantage is you lose some of the lowend power.
› Fast and reactive turning
› For extreme Freestyle, Wakestyle and Waves
› Tight, super fast and hard kite loops
› Narrower bar width

22m (60% Handling / 40% Power)
The favourite length of our freestyle and wave team riders. The 22m lines are still great for getting lots of speed from the kite, perfect for wave riding and freestyle. Not as extreme as the 19m lines, they still lose a bit of low-end power.
› Reactive turning
› Fast kite loops
› Favourite set up of our freestyle riders
› Best choice for waveriding
› Narrower bar width

24m (50% Handling / 50% Power)
One bar fits all. The 24m lines are the best choice for an all round length, good turning speed combined with good power make 24m the perfect choice for a lot of riders. Great for freeride, waves and freestyle.
› The most versatile length
› Great for all round freeriding
› Good low end and a good turning speed
› High jumps as you can “load” the lines
› The recommended size for a one bar quiver!

27m (40% Handling / 60% Power)
The extra length means extra power, you get a little more range out of your quiver by adding this bar with the longer lines. They are also great for jumping as you can really “load” the lines when you edge and send the kite back through the window.
› Enormous low-end
› Huge jumps
› Lots of lift

Best Red Line Performance Bar

$ 449.00 USD

Your bar is the cockpit of your kite and because you’d rather be flying a Lear jet than a crop duster we’ve engineered the RP-Bar to match your aspirations. Packed with innovative technology and advanced construction features the RP-Bar is the definitive 4-line kite control bar.

The improved Pro-cuff+ QR is easier to service and activate. With a new grip pattern and retaining bungees it releases a 250kg load with one of the lowest trigger pressures on the market and meets international testing standards. Our Pinless Safety Leash connects your kite to your harness and is fitted with a mini version of the Pro-cuff+ QR that’s easy and reliable to use. Low friction Delrin Bar Inserts help eliminate depower line wear and hold your chickenloop rock solid when you ride unhooked.

Above the bar you’ll find a depower cleat that provides you with easy one handed depower. You can adjust your bar travel, depower reach and cleat height. Used with our revised back line adjusters you now have absolute control over how your bar is rigged. We’ve added a new Front Line Tidy above the depower that connects your front flying and safety lines together keeping them tangle free and allowing you to swap between single left or right handed front line safety. All flying lines have been upgraded with a new slick line coating and we’ve added more color to make rigging easier. Naturally we’ve kept the dual Depower Stopper to take the strain off your arms and it works in tandem with the Redline Safety giving you comfort and control that you can trust.

The Underbar Swivel has a larger bearing surface and more aggressive grip pattern to make un-spinning your lines even easier. All flying and depower lines have a new low friction coating that keeps the sand out of the weave and enhances durability. We’ve topped the bar off with new BABEs (Big Ass Bar Ends), hiding our lightweight, composite reinforced plastic bar ends inside even softer and more face friendly EVA bar end covers.

The RP-Bar is improved with new and innovative product features for 2014 and we’ve refined all those that made it such a smash hit with riders last year. It’s the most advanced and safest bar we’ve ever made and the perfect complement to any of our 4-line kites. Pick one up today and start learning to fly by wire.

BAR FEATURES

WINDING POSTS
The Winding Posts are made of a fully moulded fibreglass reinforced Polyamide construction, which offers an incredibly lightweight solution with increased stiffness. In addition to this, there is a moulded EVA cushioning to ensure maximum comfort for the rider. The Winding Posts feature an integrated backline adjustment, which allows the rider to trim the rear lines when needed.

ATTENTION:
Never ride without the cover. It prevents the knot of the leader line from slipping out of its housing.

INTERGRATED EVA FLOATER
FLIP FLOP FUNCTION
The moulded EVA floater is fully integrated into the winding posts to offer a seamless connection, which gives better protection to the lines and the rider. The integration of the EVA floater also avoids line tangling and gives better overall stiffness between the bar and lines. To achieve better and more direct feedback on the thumb, we added a push pin on the outside of the winding post for easy operation. The Flip-Flop function allows you to switch between a 53 cm and 46 cm bar width (M/ L bar) and 49 cm and 42 cm bar width (S / M bar) with just one click. This makes the procedure of changing the bar set up far simpler.

Plastic, fitted centre hole
The exchangeable insert for the centre hole is made of plastic, to minimise wear on the depower line. The material we use is resistant to abrasion, and will cause much less damage, if sand is present, to the line itself.

STICKY & ERGONOMIC BAR GRIP
A small diameter of the bar allows a very thick EVA bar grip. This offers ideal control and comfort.

Iron Heart

The North Kiteboarding Iron Heart is the benchmark for all safety systems and we are continuously aiming to further improve this essential piece of safety equipment. It is renowned for a fast, safe and easy release, coupled with the ability to quickly reassemble the unit and continue flying.

MOULDED CHICKEN LOOP & CHICKEN DICK
Exchanging the Chicken Loop or removing the Chicken Dig is easy due to the grub screw. Simply use an FCS fin key to remove the screws. The flexible moulded construction offers comfort and allows for easy reassembling. It is warp resistant and dimensionally stable which makes it very easy to hook back in after unhooked tricks, as the loop stays in shape.

STANDARD
With every North Kiteboarding Bar, there is a choice between the standard safety mode and an easy to fix ”suicide” mode. Only very experienced riders with special requirements should use the suicide mode.

SUICIDE MODE
ATTENTION:
Only the standard safety mode offers 100% safety. We recommend to always using the standard safety mode. Riders who use the suicide mode should be aware and responsible for the possible consequences!

THE REVERSE RELEASE PIN
The heart of the Iron Heart IV is the reverse release pin and one of the keys of the intelligent release mechanism. Unlike other safety systems, it hinges to the inside to protect your hands. The reverse release pin is the reason for the incredibly low release forces enabling you to release with little exertion.

ROTO HEAD
The Roto Head permits you to untangle the lines after a rotational jump or a kiteloop while you are riding. It is made from an extremely durable plastic construction where no corrosion is possible. The Roto Head comes with two grub screws making it easy and fast to change the depower line. Simply use an FCS fin key to remove the screws and change the depower line.

Vario Cleat and sliding stopper
The Vario Cleat and Sliding Stopper enable a quick and easy adjustment of the depower stroke. Especially interesting for smaller riders who have problems reaching the bar in the regular setting. The height of the Vario Cleat and Sliding Stopper can be easily adjusted to suit personal preferences. The reduced size combined with the smaller Vario Cleat accounts for 12% more depower area. The 5th line channel reduces the risk of the 5th line getting tangled considerably.

SAFETY LEASH
The Safety Leash offers excellent floatation, guaranteed protection and ease of handling. The moulded EVA construction covering the hook is softer and prevents lines from tangling; the hook itself can still be bent in two directions. The EVA cover can be pulled back for easy hooking in and out to the suicide ring at the chicken loop. The safety release function is positioned at the end of the leash where it is attached to the harness; giving you the possibility to release the kite completely at any time.

Quad Control

QUAD CONTROL BAR
The Quad Control bar is the safest 4-line bar on the market, offering unrivalled control and safety release options. The Iron Heart release is unparalleled in its efficiency and ease of use and forms the core of the bar through which the other safety systems flow. The safety line when activated is connected to the two front lines, allowing the kite to rest on the water or the beach with hardly any power. This allows the rider to get things back under control quickly and easily. The Quad Control Bar is identical to the 5th Element Bar aside from the 4 lines and front line safety set up, ensuring it is the best on the market.

The Chicken Loop and Chicken Dick have been refined for 2014, the moulded construction, is softer to offer more comfort and easy reassembling. This new construction is warp resistant and dimensionally stable. This makes it very easy to hook back in after unhooked tricks, as the loop stays in shape.

STANDARD / SUICIDE MODE
With every 2014 North Kiteboarding Bar, there is a choice between the standard safety mode and an easy to mount ‘SUICIDE’ MODE. Only very experienced riders with special requirements should use the suicide mode.

ATTENTION:
Only the standard safety mode offers 100% safety. We recommend to always use the standard safety mode. Riders who use the suicide mode should be aware and responsible for the possible consequences!

THE REVERSE RELEASE PIN
The heart of the Iron Heart IV is the reverse release pin and one of the keys of the intelligent release mechanism. Unlike other safety systems, it hinges to the inside to protect your hands. The incredibly low release forces are a direct result of the reverse release pin.

ROTO HEAD
The Roto Head permits you to untangle the lines after a rotational jump or a kiteloop while you are riding. The new Roto Head utilises a plastic construction, the plastic is extremely durable and there is no corrosion possible. The new Roto Head comes with two grub screws making it easy and fast to change the depower line. Simply use an FCS fin key to remove the screws and change the depower line.

Vario Cleat and sliding stopper

We have completely redesigned the Vario Cleat last year to make it even more effective and efficient. We have introduced a 5th line channel for the 5th line to run through, this reduces the risk of the 5th line getting tangled considerably. You can easily adjust the height of the Vario Cleat too, plus we have reduced it’s size to increase the depower area. The sliding stopper can be adjusted to suit personal preferences. Combined with the smaller Vario Cleat this accounts for 12% more depower area!

NEW SAFETY LEASH
The Safety Leash has been completely redesigned to offer more floatation, guaranteed protection and ease of handling. The moulded EVA construction covering the hook is softer and prevents lines from tangling; the hook itself can still be bent in two directions. The EVA cover can be pulled back for easy hooking in and out to the suicide ring at the chicken loop. Of course the end of the leash still offers a safety release where it is attached to the harness. Consequently you are still able to release the kite completely at any time.

2016 F-One Monolith Bar

$ 500.00 USD

The heart of the MONOLITH bar is made directly from a 6061 Aluminum block. The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machined method is used to shape the bar in one unique monolith piece.

This new fabrication method is used in conjunction with the 6061 Aluminum, an alloy charged with magnesium and Silicium. This material isextremely resistant and is used in the Air and Space industry. In addition to its strength, this material offers excellent resilience and great resistance to corrosion.

The new MONOLITH bar benefits from a new anodizing process that reinforces the external structure of the bar and blocks all corrosion.
For increased safety and comfort, the bar ends are molded with a soft material. The anti-sliding thermoformed grip has also a double EVA layer on top of the bar.

The new MONOLITH bar setup is compatible with the Bandits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

5th Element Bar
Safety is an essential topic in a sport where you are facing the power of the elements, and in some situations are totally on your own. The North patented 5th line system has provided the greatest combination of safety and performance for many years now. Year after year the 5th line concept proves its reliability and the 100% depower ability, no matter what the conditions. The system still has a commanding lead compared to other safety systems available on the market. This is why we at North Kiteboarding believe in the 5th line concept. What’s more, the 5th line makes water re-launch really easy and the loaded 5th line kite designs (Vegas and Rebel) offer a very short depower stroke, giving the rider ultimate control in gusty conditions. The benefits of this set-up are obvious and appreciated by riders all over the world.

Quad Control

QUAD CONTROL BAR
The Quad Control bar is the safest 4-line bar on the market, offering unrivalled control and safety release options. The Iron Heart release is unparalleled in its efficiency and ease of use and forms the core of the bar through which the other safety systems flow. The safety line when activated is connected to the two front lines, allowing the kite to rest on the water or the beach with hardly any power. This allows the rider to get things back under control quickly and easily. The Quad Control Bar is identical to the 5th Element Bar aside from the 4 lines and front line safety set up, ensuring it is the best on the market.

Plastic, fitted centre hole

Our new exchangeable insert for the centre hole is made of plastic, to reduce wear on the depower line. The material we use is resistant to abrasion, and will cause much less damage, if sand is present, to the line itself.

NEW STICKY & ERGONOMIC BAR GRIP

For 2014 we have reduced the diameter of the bar in order to increase the thickness of the EVA bar grip. The result is a bar that has the same overall diameter but offers a lot more comfort to the rider.

TESTIMONIALS

Chip Wasson – “The Ozone Race Control System greatly broadens the range of the kite and allows the rider to stay hiked out and locked in. For racing, this element is critical as in today’s racing any break in things running perfectly will lose the race. It almost causes any conventional bar to be used for solely recreational kiting. In racing, every little bit of improvement adds up to large gains and the Ozone Race Control System is a critical component to desired efficiency.”

LINE LENGTH ADVISOR
Three years ago we introduced different line length ranging from 19 to 27 metres as the length of the flying lines can make a huge difference to the way the kite flies. Different styles of riding, different kite models or the kite size can be influencing factors that require different line length. In order to further increase this synergy effect the 19 and 22 m lines come on a medium bar (49/42 cm) and the 24 and 27 m lines on a large bar (53/46 cm). The bar is the rider’s first point of contact with the kite. In order to achieve a maximum comfort when riding it is essential to match the kite and the rider’s style of riding to the correct line length.

19m (70% Handling / 30% Power)
Super fast and reactive turning speeds, shorter lines are best for extreme freestyle and crazy kite loops. They are also excellent for wave riding, where the kites turning speed is important. Wakestyle riders enjoy the close connection to the kite too. The disadvantage is you lose some of the lowend power.
› Fast and reactive turning
› For extreme Freestyle, Wakestyle and Waves
› Tight, super fast and hard kite loops
› Narrower bar width

22m (60% Handling / 40% Power)
The favourite length of our freestyle and wave team riders. The 22m lines are still great for getting lots of speed from the kite, perfect for wave riding and freestyle. Not as extreme as the 19m lines, they still lose a bit of low-end power.
› Reactive turning
› Fast kite loops
› Favourite set up of our freestyle riders
› Best choice for waveriding
› Narrower bar width

24m (50% Handling / 50% Power)
One bar fits all. The 24m lines are the best choice for an all round length, good turning speed combined with good power make 24m the perfect choice for a lot of riders. Great for freeride, waves and freestyle.
› The most versatile length
› Great for all round freeriding
› Good low end and a good turning speed
› High jumps as you can “load” the lines
› The recommended size for a one bar quiver!

27m (40% Handling / 60% Power)
The extra length means extra power, you get a little more range out of your quiver by adding this bar with the longer lines. They are also great for jumping as you can really “load” the lines when you edge and send the kite back through the window.
› Enormous low-end
› Huge jumps
› Lots of lift

FLIP FLOP FUNCTION
The moulded EVA floater is fully integrated into the winding posts to offer a seamless connection, which gives better protection to the lines and the rider. The integration of the EVA floater also avoids line tangling and gives better overall stiffness between the bar and lines. To achieve better and more direct feedback on the thumb, we added a push pin on the outside of the winding post for easy operation. The Flip-Flop function allows you to switch between a 53 cm and 46 cm bar width (M/ L bar) and 49 cm and 42 cm bar width (S / M bar) with just one click.

Plastic, fitted centre hole
The exchangeable insert for the centre hole is made of plastic, to minimise wear on the depower line. The material we use is resistant to abrasion, and will cause much less damage, if sand is present, to the line itself.

STICKY & ERGONOMIC BAR GRIP
A small diameter of the bar allows a very thick EVA bar grip. This offers ideal control and comfort.

Iron Heart

The North Kiteboarding Iron Heart is the benchmark for all safety systems and we are continuously aiming to further improve this essential piece of safety equipment. It is renowned for a fast, safe and easy release, coupled with the ability to quickly reassemble the unit and continue flying.

MOULDED CHICKEN LOOP & CHICKEN DICK
Exchanging the Chicken Loop or removing the Chicken Dig is easy due to the grub screw. Simply use an FCS fin key to remove the screws. The flexible moulded construction offers comfort and allows for easy reassembling. It is warp resistant and dimensionally stable which makes it very easy to hook back in after unhooked tricks, as the loop stays in shape.

STANDARD
With every North Kiteboarding Bar, there is a choice between the standard safety mode and an easy to fix ”suicide” mode. Only very experienced riders with special requirements should use the suicide mode.

SUICIDE MODE
ATTENTION:
Only the standard safety mode offers 100% safety. We recommend to always using the standard safety mode. Riders who use the suicide mode should be aware and responsible for the possible consequences!

THE REVERSE RELEASE PIN
The heart of the Iron Heart IV is the reverse release pin and one of the keys of the intelligent release mechanism. Unlike other safety systems, it hinges to the inside to protect your hands. The reverse release pin is the reason for the incredibly low release forces enabling you to release with little exertion.

ROTO HEAD
The Roto Head permits you to untangle the lines after a rotational jump or a kiteloop while you are riding. It is made from an extremely durable plastic construction where no corrosion is possible. The Roto Head comes with two grub screws making it easy and fast to change the depower line. Simply use an FCS fin key to remove the screws and change the depower line.

Vario Cleat and sliding stopper
The Vario Cleat and Sliding Stopper enable a quick and easy adjustment of the depower stroke. Especially interesting for smaller riders who have problems reaching the bar in the regular setting. The height of the Vario Cleat and Sliding Stopper can be easily adjusted to suit personal preferences. The reduced size combined with the smaller Vario Cleat accounts for 12% more depower area. The 5th line channel reduces the risk of the 5th line getting tangled considerably.

SAFETY LEASH
The Safety Leash offers excellent floatation, guaranteed protection and ease of handling. The moulded EVA construction covering the hook is softer and prevents lines from tangling; the hook itself can still be bent in two directions. The EVA cover can be pulled back for easy hooking in and out to the suicide ring at the chicken loop. The safety release function is positioned at the end of the leash where it is attached to the harness; giving you the possibility to release the kite completely at any time.

2016 Best Red Bar

$ 459.00 USD

Take Complete Control

Four line bar in 47 and 52 cm with a single front line safety system
Proven original Iron Heart IV Quick Release exceeding international safety standards
Custom suede grip for enhanced comfort and control
Custom molded Chicken Loop for a comfortably hooked-in ride

Get the most out of your TS, Roca and Cabo with the brand new Best Red bar. The cleanest and most efficient front line safety system, the proven Iron Heart IV Quick release system and our extremely strong 22 meter lines make it the best and safest bar you could possibly ride.

Adjust and Trim – Take Full Control
We give you all the tools you need to steer your kite with unlimited precision. The original Clam Cleat® allows you to power and depower your four line kites to have exactly the power you need to perform. The Best Red bar comes with built-in Backline Adjusters inside the floaters so you can easily trim or adjust your setup.

Safety – Reduce All Risk
The Red bar excels in all international safety standards due to the proven quick release system featuring the original Iron Heart IV. It easily matches the requirements of the French Norm, read: the force needed to release your kite is below 9.8 kg while the actual release process does not take longer than 0.5 seconds. Without question, the Iron Heart IV is the best system on the market. In case of releasing the kite the reversed pin protects your hand while the single front line safety kicks in and the kite flags out to fall gently from the sky – completely powerless. Our ultra-strong and durable lines, made out of the highest grade Dyneema fibers available, are another great feature. When we say ultra-strong, we mean it! The lines have a total breaking load of at least 1,955 kg. Each single line has the strength to carry the weight of about seven persons. There is no way they will fail you, no matter how hard you shred. All Red bars come with our genuine Micro leash, the safest leash system on the market.

Freeride Comfort – Ride Better For Longer
The bar comes with our custom molded chicken loop that is optimized to fit the needs of wave and freeriders. Its design provides a snug fit around the harness hook for increased stability which comes in handy when the kite is drifting. Most noticeably is the custom stitched bar grip with our proven suede material. The perfect ergonomics enhances control while adding comfort to your hands. The muscles tire less easily and getting blisters will become your toughest challenge.

Innovative Features – Go With Advanced Design
We placed the bar swivel below the bar so you can easily untwist your lines after rotations or loops. We added an alloy steel core into our glass reinforced nylon bar ends to improve the steering responsiveness as well as increasing the bars durability. Additionally, our patented self-lubricant Delrin Insert efficiently reduces wear and tear on the power lines to ensure your bar will last a lifetime – one of the many reasons why it comes with our lifetime warranty.

2016 North Wakestlye Bar

$ 640.00 USD

The completely new Wakestyle Bar is based on the Trust Bar but has been fully influenced by the North Kiteboarding Wakestyle/Freestyle Team. They wanted a shorter bar (42cm), a bigger chicken loop, 22m lines, single line depower with a rubber coating and the 5-line “V" split very low at 2m away from the bar. The delay in steering and heavier pressure on the Wakestyle Bar with the recommended medium depower setting allows you to concentrate more on doing your trick and less about what's happening with the kite or your input on the bar. The kite is able to move and produce power just as quickly as the stock Trust Bar, it just takes a little bit more input and effort on the bar for steering. The lower split on the 5-line “V” noticeably changes the overall performance of the kite generating more power release delay, more slack, more pop and a delay in steering that makes doing doubles or holding grabs much easier and un-matched by the stock Trust Bar. Even the shape of the kite in the sky is more closed and has a more true C-kite shape and feel. Definitely a true wakestyle machine! Also included with the Wakestyle Bar is a conversion kit with instructions to switch the bar to the Hadlow Setup. Aaron Hadlow extensively tested with the North Kiteboarding R&D team to make his signature line setup work better than ever before with the 2015 Vegas. This Hadlow setup combined with the low depower setting is the preferred way for 5x PKRA World Champion Aaron Hadlow to ride. In this setup, the kite offers an even more explosive pop, more power release and steering delay while giving up most of the depower compared to the 5-line Wakestyle Bar setup. Truly the most hard core feeling in the North Kiteboarding kite line up. Relaunch on this set up is just as easy as with the 5-line setup. Just pull the flagging line and the kite will roll on it’s back the same as in the 5-line setting. If you want to ride with the same hardcore setting that Aaron is making his return to the PKRA Tour on, this is your chance. But definitely not a set up for everybody!
