DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Direct Steering and a Connected Feel
The Joystick V2 prioritizes simplicity to offer an incredibly direct connection with your kite. On a foil or in freeride, you'll feel every response from the kite instantly. This makes fine adjustments easy and your riding more intuitive.
Safety Designed for Real-World Use
The ISO-certified SureShot Click-In system provides a fast release and a smooth, reliable reset. Paired with the AutoUnswivel feature, your lines stay untangled, giving you more confidence through rotations and technical situations.
Extended Depower for Smooth Power Control
Infinite Throw technology extends the depower range by about 50% over the previous version. Out on the water, this gives you a much wider range to manage the kite's power, a huge advantage for foiling in gusty or variable wind.
Comfort and Ergonomics for Long Sessions
The MotoPlush EVA grip feels soft, provides excellent hold, and helps reduce hand fatigue. Its slim diameter gives you a precise grip, perfect for making quick adjustments and handling technical moves.
A Balance of Lightness and Durability
Built with a lightweight construction and FlyTech Variable Lines, the Joystick V2 shaves off weight without compromising on strength. The result is a responsive, durable bar that's perfectly suited to the demands of foiling and freeride.
Compatibility and a Ready-to-Ride Package
The bar comes with 18m lines and 4m extensions, making it compatible with major Slingshot kites (Machine, Ghost, SST, Code, RPX) and many other brands. With the included leash and loop, you're ready to hit the water right out of the bag.
