The new GLOBAL bar is slightly wider compared to the 2008. This allows better turning speed on big size kites.
Bar: The new GLOBAL bar is composed of 3 pieces: on the sides you have a carbon prepreg tube including the roll-up line horns built in one monocoque piece. The center piece is made with one aluminium block, polished on the inside to improve sliding ability of the de-power rope and become an ever lasting piece.
Side adjustments: The side lines are pre-attached to the bar through short spectra ropes with 3 knots. You can trim the back line length to your desired size and the cover the knots with the new soft superlite side-floater. You can also adjust the bar width by changing the leader line attachment point.
Color code: The blue on the right and red on the left is printed onto the new 3d logo EVA grip as well as on the leader lines, covered by a plastic tube to prevent abrasions. Safety meets functionality and look.
Swivel chicken loop: The long tested exclusive swivel chicken loop has been slightly improved, by extending it 2 cms. The new stopper ball has been improved with a bigger diameter. Alltogether a hardcore, functional, strong and reliable piece!
Clam cleat puller: A new webbing puller with a big, easy to grab puller loop has been fixed onto the end of the 6 mms spectra rope, to improve easy trimming and releasing of the rope. When the trim is pulled all the way, the exceeding spectra rope can be fixed behind the cleat by a Velcro attachment, so that it stays in place without swinging around.
safety line: The new 2 mms safety line has been improved by using a bigger and stronger elastic rope that does not overextend, creating a ready-to-use, practical safety system to use in any critical condition.
flying lines: Using a new color coded 25 mts flying lines with reinforced spectra material has allowed the GLOBAL bar to have the best of all packages available!
