Control Bar

HQ All-In-One Control Bar

Leashless safety system: ready to start again in just seconds after activating the quick release 

Safety system at the chickenloop 

Easy-grip, non-slip surface

Cleat Adjustment

55cm for all depower kites.

Riders will appreciate the redesigned molded chicken loop and the new TDS (Total Depower Safety) flagging line that provides an increased level of safety and simplified self-landing.

The control bar is clean and neat with single power strap equipped with a pull-pull strap for easy adjustment. The depower strap is easy to reach at all times.

The "top hat" safety release is easy to reach, now located under the bar and effectively dumps the kite on the center-line bridle, folding the kite back and killing all power.

Even when fully powered up, bar pressure is light to moderate, giving good feedback and flying with one hand is easy.

Control Bar Features:
  • Excellent de-power, very little bar pressure
  • Control bar with chicken loop and safety-system
  • Extreme Lift and Hangtime
  • Enormous Increased Stability
  • New Y-Frontlines for less drag
