DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Progressive Depower for Finer Control
The Joystick V1 features Infinite Throw, offering up to 50% more range than traditional bars. This translates to a finer, more progressive depower, which is perfect when riding a foil or Surf board where power management demands precision and anticipation. You'll gain comfort and control across the entire adjustment range.
Intuitive, Reconnectable Safety
The SureShot Click-In Safety System simplifies emergency situations: the release is clean and intuitive, and reconnection is possible with one hand, even in the water or with gloves. We appreciate the ease of use and confidence this mechanism provides during demanding sessions.
Lightweight Lines for a Direct Feel
Variable FlyTech Lines, constructed from pre-stretched Dyneema, reduce drag and make the bar more responsive. The result is more direct steering and sharper feedback from the kite, especially in gusty winds.
Comfort and Precision Grip
With its 22 mm diameter, the Joystick V1 offers a thin, precise grip that reduces forearm fatigue during long sessions. The textured grip ensures a secure hold, making quick adjustments and transitions between different riding disciplines effortless.
Versatile Performance
Compatible with Slingshot kites and adaptable to rider preferences, this bar excels in various styles: strapless Surf, foil, and aggressive twin-tip riding. It features a design built to last, balancing performance with ease of use.
