Product Description

Safety and Performance Without Sacrifice

The 08 Bar has been designed in direct response to rider and customer feedback: we added in the features you asked for, kept the ones you liked, and tweaked the ones you thought could be improved upon. Thank you for helping us to make things better. An entirely new full-carbon bar moulding allows us to create a lighter and stronger bar than previously possible.

The seamless construction means we have been able to increase the size of the centre bush. Gently radiused and mirror polished, this new centre hole arrangement gives reduced drag when sheeting in and out for improved steering control. The reinforced carbon centre of the bar also mates perfectly with our Stiffy Disc, locking the chickenloop in place whenever you unhook.

New ‘colour-handed’ EVA bar grips with raised ‘finger form’ provides comfort whatever the riding conditions, ensuring you remain in control at all times. Revised bar ends come with integral foam hand protectors for unhooking and kite-looping with maximum comfort. The depower strap and swivel arrangement has been revised with the swivel positioned under the depower strap to facilitate easier un-spinning and ensure that the new front line selflanding handles are always in the perfect position for deployment. An accessory front line safety system will follow initial production.

The new 08 Best Bar is designed to be practical, versatile and above all else as safe as possible, it is the perfect complement to the Waroo 08 and Nemesis HP SLE kites. Bar set up: Your new 08 Best Bar comes ready rigged with colour-coded 25m lines (22m lines +3m extensions). The line length, combined with the leader lines and the bridles lines on the kite, give an accumulative line length comparable to a standard 27m line set.

2008 BEST WAROO BAR FEATURES:

Flying lines 22m+3m: For 08 we have selected a new high tenacity flying line. Rated at over 350kN breaking strain, with minimal elongation under load; these new flying lines will mean your kite is more responsive, turns faster, and feels crisper than ever before.

2-Piece Stainless Bar Bushing: Press fit 316-stainless steel bar inserts. Increased aperture diameter allows for easy bar control, especially for faster turning and unhooked riding.

Front Line OSR Handles: For 08 we have introduced dual front-line landing handles above the trim strap. These additional handles mean you can now land your kite using any of the front or rear flying lines. A single front line landing handle can be used as an emergency leash in combination with a suitable length leash.

Dual Depower Line with Stopper Ball: Having dual depower lines that run through the bar enables the use of a simple and effective adjustable stopper ball. This allows a rider to limit bar travel according to personal preference for maximum depower, and also allows the rider to freely un-spin the bar without the kite going into autosafety. The dual centre lines increase durability and the entire depower rope, from stopper knot to bypass leash ring, can be swapped out quickly and easily without the need to replace the entire chickenloop assembly. Replacement stopper balls will be available as spares and should be replaced whenever the depower lines are swapped. The depower rope can also be shortened by tying an additional knot at the chickenloop, allowing C-kite riders to reduce total bar throw in line with the depower characteristics of their chosen kite. The spare rope can be neatly tucked away within the chickenloop cover should they wish to switch between kites regularly.

Handlepass/Bypass Leash: The 08 Best Bar comes equipped with a high quality handlepass/bypass leash. This leash clips to the bottom of the dual depower line and activates full depower by shortening the depower rope whenever the bar is dropped. Riders wishing to perform handlepass manoeuvres and stay directly leashed to their chickenloop, bypassing this depower/safety functionality, should choose a different leash to the supplied bypass leash.

Rear Line OSR Handles: For landing your kite, you now have the additional option of using either L&R front line grab handles as well as either L&R rear line grab handles. So you can now land your kite using any flying line, regardless of beach aspect and wind direction.

Stiffy Disc: Designed for unhooking, the 08 bar has an integral ‘stiffydisc’ situated on the depower line between the top of the chickenloop and the underside of the bar. When a rider unhooks, the bar is pulled flush with the ‘stiffy-disc’ locking the chickenloop in place so that it neither rotates nor wobbles, meaning that your chickenloop remains fixed to the underside of the bar for easy re-hooking.

Straight Plate: To further facilitate hooking and unhooking and to maximize the lifespan of the chickenloop, the 08 Best Bar comes with an integrated chickenloop cross brace. This stainless steel bar stops the chickenloop structure from deforming under load. This benefits re-hooking of the loop and also ensures that the quick release mechanism is never put under any unexpected load.

New 08 Bar End Design: For 08 we have doubled the overlap between the bar and the bar-ends, and then beefed up the connection point with a double screw fixing. The Best Bar is now tougher than ever.

Ergonomic Non-slip Grip: The 08 Best Bar has indented finger ridges across the top of the bar and a new colour scheme with left- and righthanded bar colors. The new front and back grip pattern and color scheme will allow you to ascertain which way round the bar should be as quickly as possible, if the bar has been released. The EVA foam grip used has been improved over the 07 bar to deliver greater feel and durability with improved abrasion resistance and adhesion to the underlying carbon bar.

EVA Foam Bar End Bumpers: If you ride unhooked and are throwing unhooked tricks, then the new bar end bumpers are just for you. They will stop the bar ends cutting into your hands and help you ride longer every session.

Below Trim-Strap Swivel: A new ‘below trim-strap’ front line swivel ensures that your front lines can be untwisted any time with a flick of the trim strap. With your front lines always in the correct position you can make maximum use of the new dual front line landing handles.

Metal-on-Metal Safety Release: The 08 Best Bar has a dual-loop metal-on-metal safety release. The release pin is positioned through a small stainless-steel ring, passing over a single loop of low friction line. After activation of the safety, a rider can easily reassemble the chickenloop in the water, if he/she is attached to the end of the bypass leash.
