Features
Quick Release 3.0
The Quick Release 3.0 (QR 3.0) is the core of the bar. It not only meets the French standard (AFNOR) in terms of safety and activation forces, it is also extremely robust, compact, lightweight and of course reliable. A flexible, unbreakable Chicken Dick and a new ergonomic handle allow a quick and easy release of the kite in an emergency situation.
Ergonomic Grip Design
The slim, lightweight Control Bar features a fresh-green signal color on the right-hand side and is available in two lengths – 50 and 60cm. The abrasion-resistant, ergonomic EVA grip is extremely comfortable for the hand and assures solid control even in cold or wet conditions.
Double-V-Shaped Eyelet
The optimized and reduced-friction Double-V-Shaped Eyelet ensures an easy and direct steering response. The powering up and depower function works even when you turn the Bar.
Clam-Cleat Race Adjuster
The smooth-running 4:1 Pulley with Clam Cleat Race Adjuster stands apart with its simple and precise adjustment possibilities (with a 55cm-long depower distance).
12m - 15m - 17m Low Drag Race Flying Lines
For the Race flying lines, we have worked to find an optimal balance between diameter reduction and breaking load (front 1.45mm / 300kg – Back 0.8mm / 160kg). Additionally, we have conciously included a very short Frontline Safety (FLS), which represents an extension of a front line. This reduces the air resistance of the entire Race flying-line construction, which has the direct advantage of allowing the kit to reach higher speeds. Finally, the line guidance is optimized by the double-V-Shaped eyelet in the Bar handle. For years we have put our trust in our partner LIROS for supplying high-quality lines.
Tuning Options
On the integrated winder you can change the bar width by up to 5 cm, which is recommended when using a bar for many kite sizes. Additionally, the control lines can be adjusted below the floaters, meaning you can counteract the effects of shortened steering lines and tendency to backstall. These features allow the bar setup to be individually adjusted to the rider.
RACE CONTROL BAR PRO … claim your victory!
Any rider who is serious about competing and wants to get the maximum performance from the kite should look to the RACE CONTROL BAR PRO. This bar has numerous features to aid you on your way to victory. Best grip, reliable safety function and several ways to customize the Bar setup leave the racer nothing to be desired. The Quick Release 3.0 was certificated with the french standard (AFNOR) and is therefore a Quality and Safety feature of the RACE CONTROL BAR PRO. The 4:1 Pulley Clam Cleat Adjuster enables quick and accurate response to changing circumstances or specific competition situations. Choose the optimal length of our low drag flying lines in 12m – 15m – 17m for your favorite kite size. The reduced diameter Race back-lines, the short Frontline Safety, and optimized line guidance through the Double-V-Shaped Eyelet provide a maximum reduction of air resistance—and possibly the decisive advantage in your race. In addition, the bar width and the steering lines can be optimized to the needs of the rider. The RACE CONTROL BAR PRO is excluded from the 12-month Free-Repair Guarantee by FLYSURFER.
