The Traction Extreme bar is aimed at land, snow and water ram-air traction kite users. This bar has a revolutionary adjustable spinning brake line safety system. On activating the new chicken loop primary release system the leash pulls the brake lines, killing the power in the kite. The rider is left attached to the kite via the leash attached to the two brake lines.
The chicken loop has a built in swivel so that the flying lines can be unspun after doing a rotation.
This control bar is rated at 350kg making it strong enough for serious traction use.
The bar comes with specifcally designed thermoformed EVA grip making it comfortable on the hands but grippy when you need it.
Main Features
1. Bar end - Solid inner sections for direct connection to the kite and soft outer coverings to protect your hands. Adjustable colour coded leader lines. Each bar end has an elastic loop to secure the flying lines in place.
2. Super grip. Maximum control and zero slip whilst riding. The grip is also colour coded so you wont grab the wrong side of the bar after a handle-pass.
3. Brake line adjustment strap. Allows you to trim the brake line tension and increase the kites performance in variable conditions. Also, when pulled in it secures the kite when parked.
4. Swivel chicken loop - Allows the bar to be spun to remove twists from flying lines whilst staying hooked in to your harness.
5. Chicken lock - Detachable chicken lock which sits on your spreader bar allowing you to easily secure your chicken loop. Also incorporates quick release webbing pull strap.
6. Single action primary release. This is a very simple, effective and reliable primary release system which detaches the chicken loop from the brake lines, leaving the chicken loop attached to the riders harness. The geometry and design of the webbing flap and release cover keeps the release force low even when under high loads from the kite. This gives you the confidence to operate the release in any wind conditions.
7. Secondary release - Quickly detaches bar and kite from flyer. Use in emergencies only! System is activated by a simple pin mechanism for reliable use.
8. Landing handle/ground stake attachment point - Situated at the bottom of the depower strap, this allows you to land the kite quickly and easily. Use this point to attach a ground stake to secure your kite when on the ground.
