North Wakestyle bar is designed especially for advanced riders who perform advanced freestyle and wakestyle tricks. Developed and fully influenced by NKB wake/freestyle team. It`s a short bar (42cm) featuring bigger chicken loop which allows easier unhooking and hooking back in after trick. Comes with short lines (22m) making the kite connected  to it faster and more responsive. Single line depower coated in rubber and 5-line “V” split is very low, only 2 meters away from the bar. It gives delay in steering and much more pressure on the bar. Medium depower setting is recommended with Wakestyle Bar. All of above allow you to focus totally on performing the trick and less about what`s happening with the kite or your input on the bar. Kite still move and produce power as quickly as with Trust Bar, it only takes little bit more effort and input on the bar for steering. Lover split on the 5-line “V” undoubtedly changes kite`s performance, developing more power release delay, more pop, more slack and delay in steering which allows making doubles or holding grabs for longer. Also shape of the kite in the sky is changed by it. It`s more closed and has more true C-shape and feel.

Winding Posts

Made out of fully moulded fibreglass reinforced Polyamide construction, which gives amazingly lightweight solution and increased stiffness. To ensure rider`s maximum comfort there is moulded EVA cushioning. Rider can trim the rear lines when needed thanks to integrated backline adjustment which is feature in The Winding Posts. ATTENTION: Don`t ride without the cover. It prevents the know of the leader line from slipping out of its housing.

Integrated EVA Floater

To offer seamless connection, moulded EVA floater is fully integrated into the winding posts, which protects the rider and lines much better. Integration of this floater also prevents lines tangling and overall gives better stiffness between bar and the lines. To give better and more direct thumb feedback, push pin has been added on the outside of the winding post for accessible operation. Flip-Flop system grants you option to switch width (53cm and 46cm) for M/L and (49cm and 42cm) for S/M bar with just one click. It makes bar setup change much simpler.

Plastic, fitted centre hole

To minimise wear on the depower line, insert of the centre hole is exchangeable and made of plastic. Material used by NKB is resistant to abrasion and even if sand is present, it will cause much less damage to the line itself.

Sticky and Ergonomic Bar Grip

Very thick EVA bar grip is allowed by small diameter of the bar. This gives superb comfort and control.

Iron Heart

NKB Iron Heart is one of the best safety systems on the market and in continuously improved further to give the best and reliable piece of safety equipment. Improved for easy, safe and instant release, coupled with ability to continue flying by quickly reassemble the unit.

Moulded Chicken Loop & Chicken Dick

Removing Chicken Dick or exchanging Chicken Loop never been easier thanks to the grub screw. Just use a FCS fin key to remove screws. Comfort and easy reassembling is allowed by flexible and moulded construction. It`s very easy to hook back after UH tricks as the loop stays in shape because of warp resistance and dimensional stability.

Standard

Each and every NKB bar gives choice to ride with standard safety mode or easy to fix “suicide” mode which is recommended only for experienced riders with special requirements.

Suicide Mode

ATTENTION: NKB recommend to always ride with standard safety mode. Only this gives 100% depower and safety. Riders who use suicide mode must be aware of possible consequences and aware of the responsibility.

The Reverse Release Pin

The main feature in the Iron Heart IV and key of the smart release mechanism is reverse release pin. To protect your hand it hinged to the inside, unlike other safety systems. The RRP enables you to release with smallest effort and provides incredibly low release forces.

Roto Head

The Roto Head allows you to untangle lines while riding for example after kitloops or rotational jumps. No corrosion is possible thanks to exceptionally durable plastic construction.

Vario Clit and Sliding Stopper

Accesible and fast adjustment of the depower stroke is enabled by Vario Clip and Sliding Stopper. Very useful for riders who have problems reaching the bar in default setting. The height of Sliding Stopper can be adjusted to personal preferences very easily. Special channel for the 5th line greatly reduces the risk of 5th line getting tangled.

Safety Leash

Safety Leash gives great floatation, ease of handling and safety. EVA construction covering the hook is soft and prevents lines from tangling. EVA cover can be easily pulled back to allow hooking in and out to suicide ring at chicken loop. To allow you to completely release the kite at any time, safety release function is at the end of leash, where it`s connected to harness.
