DETAILS
TOOLLESS INTERLOOP SYSTEM WITH LOCKGUARD
Switch effortlessly between disciplines - no tools required. Simply push, twist, pull, lock and go. Loops are made from optimised TPU material for flex and durability, with a more rigid freeride security finger to prevent unexpected unhooking. Flexible LockGuard safety ring prevents accidental release of your interloop.
SOFT EVA BAR ENDS WITH RETRACTABLE LINE WINDERS
The positive buoyancy bar ends with integrated line winder bungees are injection moulded in one piece with no-glue seams for long-lasting quality. The bar ends ensure nothing hard comes in touch with you or your board, float the entire bar, and also contain the concealed rear line adjustment. Even the best quality lines shrink over time, so after a month, we recommend you check your lines are all even and drop them to the bottom knot. It’s easy and takes only a minute to make the change.
PROTECTIVE PU-COVERED LEADER LINES
To help prevent line abrasion from uncovered lines against your skin, we've used colour-coded PU tubing covers. The covers also help them remain rigid and out of the way when the flying lines aren't under tension.
ADJUSTABLE CLEATED TRIM SYSTEM
Provides industry-proven line-adjustment when needed. The cleat base has been designed with circular geometry for consistent bar spin. In overpowered conditions the cleat allows you to shorten your front lines and remain in a comfortable body position.
LIGHTWEIGHT OVER-MOLDED TRIM HANDLE WITH DYNEEMA LINES
Easy to reach moulded trim handle doesn't hurt when it hits you. Made from Nylon/EVA for strength with a textured soft-touch grip. Top-quality German-made extremely high wear Dyneema depower and trim line with a special impregnation coating for resistance to abrasion.
DURABLE COVERED MAINLINE, WITH CUSTOMISED TPU TUBING
Symmetric multibore landing line channel allows the landing line/flying line to pass through without snagging, regardless of the orientation when deploying or reloading. Crafted from a patented material specifically formulated for high abrasion flexible applications.
CUSTOM LOW-FRICTION SPINNING HANDLE
Unspin your front lines easily.
ADJUSTABLE LENGTH FLYING LINES 22M (12M + 10M)
22m lines have a split at 12m, which is far enough for the bar to travel to completely depower our largest kite when you flag out. Remove the standard 10m top section of flying line and 12m lines are ideal for schools to teach with and for foil racing. 8m and 6m line extensions are available as an accessory for wave riding or tighter kiteloops.
KOOK-PROOF FLYING LINE CONNECTORS
Ensure you always set up your flying lines correctly. Designed to be exactly the same length so you can easily change the front (knotted end) and rear (lark's head loop) connectors to match most other manufacturers' kite configurations. Please familiarise yourself with the safety procedures and trimming instructions outlined in your kite’s user manual.
PREMIUM QUICK RELEASE LEASH
The Navigator Control System is supplied with a premium quality freeride Leash with a high load carabiner, soft neoprene cover and non-abrasive elasticised webbing. The leash QR mechanism has been modified to ensure correct orientation is maintained when released for consistent, safe release and reload.
INTUITIVE SINGLE-ACTION RELOAD
Security and performance in all conditions. Our patented and ISO-approved Connect Quick Release (QR) raises the bar in kite control system safety. The red QR handle has been ergonomically designed to fit in your hand comfortably for an industry-standard push away release. All loaded or running surfaces feature highly polished 316 stainless steel and low-friction components. The larger diameter bungee inside the QR helps reduce accidental release.
INDUSTRY-LEADING 100% DYNEEMA SK99 FLYING LINES
Strong, thinner profile, pre-stretched flying lines mean less parasitic drag and uncompromised direct performance. With 88m of flying lines in the air, you can really feel the difference thinner line creates. Our latest technology high-load LIROS DC-401 Pro flying lines have extreme stretch resistance and minimal diameter (1.6mm).
THREE ADJUSTABLE BAR LENGTH OPTIONS
Fine tune the turning speed of your kite. The Navigator is available in three sizes 50-55cm (L), 45-50cm (M) and 38-43cm (S). To extend/retract bar length simply pull out cassettes on the bar-ends, rotate 180 degrees and snap back into place.
OMNIDIRECTIONAL GRIP WITH OFFSET FINGER BAR AND COLOUR-CODED COMPONENTS
Feel more connected. The Navigator is designed with a comfortable ergonomic grip for a natural grasp and the tactile offset finger bar is slightly oval, so you can feel when the control bar is orientated correctly. The colour-coded bar ends, leader tubing and line retainer pull tabs give a nod to our sailing heritage, port (red) and starboard (green).
SPINNING LEASH ATTACHMENT RING
Our oval-shaped leash pin ring is elongated for easier fastening of the leash carabiner, and spins to help prevent your landing line from twisting.
DYNEEMA TRIM LINE
Top-quality German-made extremely high wear Dyneema depower and trim lines, with special impregnation coating for resistance to abrasion.

SIZES: MEDIUM (40-48) / LARGE (47-55) The most critical piece of equipment in kiteboarding is the Control System. A system that you not only you rely on for your safety and well being, it’s also the direct link between you and the elements. A lot of work goes into Kite Design. The Cab Design Works Team works countless hours tuning and modifying the way a kite feels in order to make it the highest performing product on the market.

LIGHTWEIGHT
Summary
Get ready for your greatest adventure and trust our CONNECT Control Bar! Enjoy unique multifunctionality. Switch between a Frontline Safety or the B-Safe 5-line system in no time. Choose and fly your kites on 14 m or 21 m flying lines depending on the given conditions. The light control bar guarantees optimal grip and maximum safety during your session.
Features
LIGHT BAR STICK
The 0.34 kg light Barholm is color-coded with orange (left) and petrol (right). The back can be clearly distinguished from the front with a continuous gray design element. The ergonomically shaped, [M] 50cm long bar is protected by an EVA grip and lies comfortably in the hand. The non-slip surface guarantees optimal grip in wet and cold conditions.
SIMPLE QUICK RELEASE
The compact and reliable SIMPLE Quick Release fulfills the French standard (AFNOR) in terms of safety and release forces in the event of contamination. The compact designed chicken loop with stick secure the connection between the harness hook and the control bar and prevent unintentional unhooking. The handy release cap enables precise and low-resistance activation of the safety system in an emergency. The front lines can be turned out manually using the swivel located above the quick release.
B-SAFE SYSTEM READY
The CONNECT Control Bar has been specially configured for products with the B-Safe system. The 4-line FLS system can be converted to a 5-line system in just a few simple steps. After the release, the control bar slides up to 4 m along the 5th line, gathers the kite together and lets it fall down without generating any power. The B-Safe system requires a high split of the front lines (high Y) and a thin line with little air resistance. The PEAK and VIRON product lines have the B-Safe system.
ADJUST TO THE GIVEN CONDITIONS
Use the adjustment options of the flying lines to adapt the CONNECT Control Bar to the weather conditions or your driving style. Choose between 14 m and 21 m flying line length to increase reactivity or to reduce the wind window. The steering lines can be extended with the help of a knot ladder under the floaters. In order to be easy to use for every body size, the depower travel is exactly 45 cm. The Clam Cleat Adjuster can be used to gain a further 20 cm of depower travel.
Product info
Our recommendation for kiters who like to travel and start their next adventure. The lightest FLYSURFER Control Bar is a multifunctional control system that meets the highest safety standards. The CONNECT Control Bar can be used with 5 or 4 lines, the release distance is 3 m.

FAQ
The B-Safe System:
The CONNECT Control Bar has been specially configured for products which make use of our B-Safe system. The system guides the bar up a 5th line which in turn reefs the kite, bringing it down safely. We recommend this safety system for the PEAK4 and VIRON3 product line.
Can the CONNECT Control Bar be used with SOUL or SONIC or other FLYSURFER products?
Due to the 3 m long release path, SOUL, SONIC, STOKE, BOOST, VMG cannot be flown with the CONNECT Control Bar! In an emergency the kite cannot flag out after activating the safety system and still generats a strong pull. Its use is life-threatening! The CONNECT Control Bar can only be used with PEAK and VIRON!
Is the B-Safe system still usable if I shorten the flying lines of the CONNECT control bar?
Yes, the B-Safe system is fully functional with 14m lines, we recommend this length for training / school / strong winds.
Is the B-Safe system available for other FLYSURFER kites?
No, the B-Safe system is not available for the SOUL, SONIC, STOKE, BOOST and VMG product lines.
Can the B-Safe system be used to land kites?
Yes, the B-Safe system is ideal for the controlled landing of kites.
Why was the high Y chosen for this control bar?
The CONNECT control bar has been designed for low to medium aspect ratio kites and the high split (Y) of the front lines improves the bar feedback.
Is the CONNECT Control Bar also available as a 4-line setup?
No, the CONNECT system will only be available as a 5-line setup.
Is there a Chicken Loop for slider harnesses?
No, the SIMPLE Quick Release is only available in the current edition. Using a harness with a slider rope will damage the chicken loop. The right to complain is not applicable!
Kann ich die Snowkite Breakline für meine CONNECT1 nachrüsten?
Yes, it is possible to retrofit the Snowkite Breakline. Please order the Steering Leader Line Set CONNECT2 in the online shop and replace the lines yourself.

FLITE99 LEINEN
Die neuen FLITE99 Leinen von Robline reduzieren den Luftwiderstand und bieten ein direkteres Lenkverhalten.

Die Trust Bar ist das bevorzugte Kontrollsystem für Fahrer, die das traditionelle Depower-Seil- und Klampen-System bevorzugen. Traditionell kann man die neue Trust Bar 2023 aber wirklich nicht nennen! Stattdessen ist sie vollgepackt mit den neuesten Technologien, darunter dem neuen Iron Heart VI Click-in-Sicherheitssystem und FLITE99 Leinen. Dies ist die einzige Bar, die du jemals brauchen wirst, da die Barbreite und die Leinenlängen leicht an deinen Kite angepasst werden können. Die Bar ist zwischen 42 und 49 cm verstellbar und hat 22-m-Leinen mit 2-m-Verlängerungen.
North offers five Toolless Harness Loops, each ideally suited to a different style of riding. The Slide Surf Loop is recommended for kitesurfing and kitefoiling. Switch effortlessly between disciplines with our patented modular harness loop replacement system - no tools required.

Ignore the controls, and connect with what’s most important.
Featuring our proven Monobloc centre line, DreamStick X offers the best auto-swiveling solution possible while ensuring freedom of movement to let you steer and depower at the same time. This is proven the absolute favorite auto-swivel solution for riders worldwide. The upgraded system allows rotation of both flagging line and front-lines, ensuring extreme safety whenever opening the quick release. DREAMSTICK X is now upgraded with SK99 Cousin flying lines that are thinner, stronger, and more durable, providing less drag and a quicker reacting kite. Along with all the other features, this truly is a dream to hold.
STANDARD OR SHORTY
Our standard Dreamstick X is perfectly tuned for all our SuperModels and makes best use of its depower range. However we’ve found that a select group of riders with shorter arms, can have trouble reaching the bar at the end of the bar throw.
This is why we have created the shorty dreamstick X. The depower-throw has been reduced from 50cm to 42cm, while adding length to the depower-cord to keep line-length the same and have full depower potential when combining the cord.
LINE LENGTH
size 43-49cm – 22+2m =24m lines
Dreamstick X comes standard in a 24m line configuration with removable 2 metres for a quick conversion to a 22m configuration.
A unique feature is our foldable line system, which allows you to quickly convert to a 13m, 12m, or 11m setup, depending on whether you fold the lines with or without the 2m extensions, or add the 2m after folding. Ideal for mean kiteloops, foiling, or occasional teaching.
BAR WIDTH

The LINX Bar is our control system, a dual adjustable length bar that comes in two sizes (38/45cm and 45/52cm). It perfectly blends lower weight and simplicity with excellent comfort and function.Adjustable bar lengthNew Depower sheath to increase durabilityNew automatic lifeline swivelIntuitive and super precise depower systemSuperior functionalityThe bar itself is small in diameter with a comfortable grip making it forgiving on the hands. The grip has a rubbery feel with a fine texture and feels firm underneath and a bit more cushy on the top where your fingers wrap around the bar.The integrated floats at the bar ends house the mechanism to adjust the size of your bar. Simply pull down the tag under the bar, rotate the insert and your bar size is changed. You will also find the possibility to adjust your back lines length.It features a lifeline now placed into a new rectangular depower sheath for more durability. This new feature prevents the centerline from rubbing against the aluminium tube and will not rub against the user’s fingers.The above the bar stainless steel cleat to adjust the power has been updated for more simplicity, and the depower system is now thinner and therefore more precise.The LINX bar offers the option to switch between a low and high V (high V for the BANDIT/BANDIT S/BULLIT and low V for the FURTIVE/BREEZE/ONE).An additional float is placed above the depower system; this is to maintain positive buoyancy if you become disconnected from your bar.The bar’s color-coding is very clear, with orange on the left and dark blue on the right.The lines end in lark’s head loops and are being attached to the bridles connectors.The quick release features a built-in manual swivel above the push to untwist your lines. The new minimalist below the bar lifeline swivel is now made of a plastic stud and a stainless steel ring on which you hang the leash. It rotates easily and automatically untwists your lifeline.

FORCE CONTROL BAR
Freestyle, Progression
The FORCE Control Bar: safe, durable and functional. The ergonomically shaped bar is full of technical features but still sits perfectly in the hand and is very comfortable. Designed to offer the highest safety standards it uses a QR 4.0 and short Single Frontline Safety. Trust in German Engineering.
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 fibreglass reinforced polyamide and covered with moulded EVA padding to protect them and you. The centre 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.
