DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Steering and Ride Feel
The Trust Bar relies on the responsiveness of FLITE99 2.0 and FLITE99 2.0+ lines to give you precise, direct steering. You'll feel a direct connection to the kite, perfect for sending kiteloops or dialing in your jumps with precision. The ride feel is natural, with no excessive lag.
Safety and Peace of Mind
The Click-In Iron HearT IV system allows for quick reconnection and instant release when you need it. We recommend this bar if you're looking for easy-to-use, trusted safety that's perfect for full-on sessions.
Power Control
The braided and Dyneema-coated DPL24 depower line provides a progressive feel when adjusting your power. Use the Vario Cleat to keep your lines clean and fine-tune your settings on the fly.
Versatility and Compatibility
The Trust Bar is designed for adaptability: its adjustable width, Low-V option, and 4-line Quad Control setup make it easy to use with multiple kites, including school models. It's ideal if you own different kites or want a bar that grows with your quiver.
Finishes and Ergonomics
Minimalist pigtails, a metal V-distributor, and a grip made with partial EVA BLOOM all highlight the attention to detail. These choices improve ergonomics, reduce line clutter, and provide a comfortable, tactile grip.
Care and Longevity
The FLITE99 2.0/2.0+ lines and overall construction are built for durability. We recommend rinsing with fresh water after each session, checking the Click-In system regularly, and storing the bar out of direct sunlight to extend its life.
