DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Key Benefit
You feel secure the moment you hook into the chicken loop: the Click-In Quick Release deploys without hesitation and re-engages with ease. Your steering becomes more predictable thanks to the Dyneema SK99 Plus lines, which limit stretch and maintain consistent tension throughout your session. On the water, this translates to sharper power delivery and steering that responds instantly. We recommend this setup for riders who want to minimize surprises while riding.
Sizes and how to choose
The two available lengths, 22m (12m + 10m) and 24m (22m + 2m), cover most disciplines. As a general rule, if you prefer a more direct bar feel and a more responsive kite, the shorter setup is a better fit. If you want a slightly wider turning arc and more power range for light wind, the longer version provides that extra length. We recommend testing it at your local spot or asking for a demo to find the right feel for your riding style.
Construction and Components
The Lead Bar V2 is built with components designed for durability: filament-free Dyneema SK99 Plus lines, a stainless steel center, and a Monoblock PU tube. The SK99 Plus lines provide high tensile strength while limiting stretch to maintain consistent line tension. The stainless steel center has a wide opening that allows lines to untwist automatically and protects the depower line. The chicken loop and asymmetric grip are designed to stay comfortable even after many hours on the water.
On-water behaviour
On the water, the Lead Bar V2 stands out with its direct steering and consistent line tension, which makes trimming the kite easy. The bar spins freely thanks to the stainless steel center, and the lines untwist automatically after rotations. The connection at the chicken loop feels stable, reducing fatigue during long sessions and making power delivery smoother. It's also quick and easy to adjust the High/Low V setting to match your kite.
Who it's for / level
The HARLEM LEAD BAR V2 2025 is for intermediate to advanced riders who want a trustworthy bar without sacrificing precision. Its durable components and Click-In Quick Release will give confidence to frequent riders looking for solid, predictable performance. Experienced kiters will appreciate the direct feedback and the ability to tune the High/Low V configuration to suit their kites.
Buying advice
Before you buy, choose the line length that best suits your riding style: 22m for a more responsive feel, or 24m for a little more power range. Inspect the Click-In system and the lines before your first session. Remember to rinse the bar with fresh water after you ride to protect the stainless steel parts and the grip. If you're not sure which length to get, ask us about a demo to find the perfect setup for you.
