Materials & Care
Like any control system, some parts wear out over time. Inspect frequently and follow the cleaning instructions:
- Before/after each session rinse with fresh water until free of sand/salt.
- Open the quick release (QR) handle, rinse and check the operation of all components.
- Check for cracks , scratches , corrosion , or excessive wear ; replace components if necessary.
- Close the QR handle to reduce stress on the internal elastic.
- Remove the cassette from the bar end and rinse the inside with fresh water.
- Flush the rest of the system to prolong its life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's new in the 2025 model?
An optimized release stroke and ergonomic QR handle make the release smoother and more consistent. Auto-unwinding has also been improved thanks to ceramic bearings.
How do I choose the right line length (18/20/22/24 m)?
18–20 m : More responsiveness and quick turns (strong wind / freestyle). 22 m (stock): Overall balance. 24 m : More power at the start and low-end (light wind / foil freeride).
Is the security system reliable?
Yes, the COS offers consistent release loads under many conditions. The extended-travel QR makes it easy to activate even under load.
Does auto-unwind work on charged lines?
Ceramic bearings reduce friction to a minimum: rotation occurs smoothly during sheeting to maintain neat lines.
Is the bar compatible with my kite?
The Low-V connection and Dyneema™ lines are designed for wide compatibility. Always check your kite/brand's standards.
What maintenance do I need to do regularly?
Rinse after each ride, inspect QR and lines, clean bar ends, and replace worn parts when necessary.
