The FORCE Control Bar generates complete confidence from the minute you get hold of it. Sturdy but comfortable and offering plenty of grip. The FORCE Control Bar glides along the PU-coated depower lines smoothly transmitting the power of the kite. The FORCE winders are heavily padded to protect you and your equipment. The click of a button releases the bar width adjusters and steering line length adjusters. Twist to change the bar width, or move the knots up and down to adjust the steering line length. The single piece molding of the bar ends and floaters prevents lines getting caught and minimizes risk of injury. When it comes to safety, we make no compromises. FLYSURFER relies on our tested and proven QR 4.0. In order to satisfy the demands of a wide range of users, we offer the bar in three different sizes. Functional, customizable, sturdy and safe, experience a new riding experience with the FORCE Control Bar!
Features:
Force Barstick- The FORCE bar stick is lightweight, and colored orange on the left and petrol on the right. Due to the abrasion resistant ergonomic EVA grip, the bar is extremely comfortable to hold and remains grippy when wet or cold. The molded FORCE winders have integrated floaters.
Quick Release 4.0 - This proven and reliable push away Quick Release meets the French standard (AFNOR) in terms of safety and the force required for deployment. The ergonomic release handle allows for quick and easy safety activation in an emergency. Made for use on water, land and snow.
Force Adjuster- Simple and precise adjustment of the front lines via a handle and clam cleat. The elasticated spectra adjuster line glides through a special guidance block and then shortens itself after actuation. This allows for precise adjustment through a small movement of the handle and stops the handle from getting caught.
Best Protection- Safety and longevity are two key requirements for the FORCE Control Bar. Robust EVA padded winders and PU-coated depower lines allow for precise guiding and smooth turning of the barstick with minimal wear and tear. The easily replaceable insert of the One-Hole Eyelet is designed to wear instead of the depower line, making it cheaper and easier to maintain your bar after countless hours on the water.
Force Winder- The FORCE winders are made of fiberglass reinforced polyamide and covered with molded EVA padding to protect them and you. The center kernel can be removed at the touch of a button to gain access to the bar width adjustment options. This allows you to adjust bar width to suit your personal preference and the kite you are using. There are also steering line length adjustment options.
Single Front Line Safety-The FORCE Control Bar supports all single front line safety systems. After activating the QR 4.0, the bar slides up a single frontline until hitting a black stopper ball which lets the kite flag out completely.
B-Safe System ready - The CONNECT Control Bar has been specially configured for products using the B-Safe system. After activating the quick release, the bar slides up the 5th line and the kite is reefed horizontally in the middle. This removes the pressure in the kite and allows it to come down powerless through the wind window. We recommend this safety system for the PEAK4 product line.
LINK Quick Release
The body of the LINK Quick Release is made of durable and lightweight materials known for their excellent wear, tear, and corrosion resistance properties. It features an integrated ball-bearing swivel system that allows unrestricted rotation, minimizing resistance and friction. The intuitive click-in mechanism of the chicken loop increases user-friendliness. The ISO certified push-away Quick Release is fully functional in warm, cold, sandy, and wet conditions.
Modular Eyelet
The bar shaft of the FORCE Control Bar can be switched from automatic to manual untwisting. Remove two metal pins in the center of the shaft, at the stainless steel eyelet, using an Allen key. The advantages of depower lines guided without a line separator are increased longevity due to reduced wear and maximum freedom when steering and depowering simultaneously. We recommend this option for technically complex big air tricks or board-offs with multiple rotations.
FORCE winder
The FORCE winders are crafted from fiberglass-reinforced polyamide and coated with molded EVA padding, ensuring durability while offering protection for both you and your gear. A simple button press allows you to remove the centerpiece, granting access to the backline adjustment options. Easily modify the backline attachment points and line length to match your personal preferences and the kite you are flying.
Chicken loop and stick
The small chicken loop is standard on the FORCE Control Bar and designed for hooked-in riding styles. Our intelligently designed stick is flexible and secures the chicken loop to the harness hook. It is tested and proven in deep temperatures and avoids unintentional unhooking.
