The CONNECT3 Control Bar has been developed for durability and versatility and offers the option of switching between Frontline Safety and the B-Safe 5-line system. Depending on the conditions, you can choose between 14 m or 21 m flying lines and the non-slip EVA bar handle ensures a secure grip and reliable performance. The colour-coded barstick, available in sizes [S] 47 cm, [M] 52 cm and [L] 60 cm, makes it easy to distinguish between left/right and front/rear.

The 45 cm depower line of the control bar is ideal for our foil kites with a low to medium aspect ratio and is easy to reach if it is released. The adjuster gives you an additional 20 cm of depower travel. The CONNECT3 is compatible with PEAK and HYBRID kites and can be upgraded from the FLS 4-line system to the B-Safe system for a 5-line setup.

The SMART Quick Release is AFNOR-approved and ISO-compliant, guaranteeing fast and safe release with wet sand or in icy temperatures on land, water or snow.

Improved Quick Release System, AFNOR & ISO compliant and ensures safety. The Chicken Loop and Safety Ring is available in two sizes, offering more flexibility for kite instructors.

Robust, colour-coded CONNECT3 bar spar

Made from high quality materials to withstand harsh alpine weather and prolonged UV exposure. The colour coding ensures quick orientation when differentiating between left/right and front/rear.

Durable depower leash with woven Dyneema cover

A specially coated depower line, protected by woven Dyneema, reduces abrasion and ensures smooth, frictionless steering and depowering.

Newly configured B-Safe line

The B-Safe line has been redesigned for better visibility and durability, minimising post-release snagging and drag. It has an integrated adjustment option to compensate for line shrinkage over time.
