The newer Duotone click bars can be set in high v or low v. Undo the distributor and it converts to low v in seconds. Simple but effective

Awesome! I have a core bar & just got a north reach. It's good to hear the core bar is generally gtg for most kites 🤙

Got the same! Also have several cabrinha kite's and bar, gonna try swapping them out with the core and north and see if I feel a difference

Yea buy a new bar if it‘s dirty... best to throw the old one directly into the ocean.. like wtf man the only thing that needs to be replaced every few years are the lines the rest is fine. (The North bar you showed is probably perfectly fine)

No hate btw but I really don‘t understand why so many people replace their bar with a new (probably same but different colored) bar... those bars have nearly not changed in the last years (seatbelt chickenloop excluded)

Nice video!! Do you know if a North Rebel 2016 (with 5th line) can be properly used with a North wake style bar?

I’ve just ordered the North Orbit kite. Can I use the control bar from either Slingshot or Airush?

So the duotone bar doesnt like other kites, but using for example a core bar on a duotone kite is okay?

It's the other way round, as he says. Duotone kites traditionally* need bars with a very high Y, which you only get from Duotone or by getting a distributor thingy and mounting it on other bars to force a high Y. But it's even more annoying. Duotone changes Y height quite frequently, and line attachments and different kite sizes also have an impact, so for your kite to perform optimally, you may have to tune Y height. Or just go with whatever your setup gives you and live with minor suboptimality. * It seems that as of 2024 some of the Duotone kites now want low Ys, though I am not 100% sure about that.

@yxx_chris_xxy ah okay, a friend is selling an older duo kite and I didn't want to buy it if my core bar wouldn't work great with it

Cabrinha is low Y.
