Sizes and Specs

Technology

Updated Pigtail Construction

The V-Distributor features a 12.6mm metal ring, making the bar disassembly and reassembly super straightforward while minimizing the risk of tangles lines.

Low V-Distributor Trust Bar

Twists the front lines by 90 degrees and allows an optional low V setup.

Integrated EVA Floater Flip-Flop Function

The moulded EVA floater is fully integrated into the winding posts to offer a seamless connection, which gives better protection to the lines and the rider. The integration of the EVA floater also avoids line tangling and gives better overall stiffness between the bar and lines. To achieve better and more direct feedback on the thumb, they added a push pin on the outside of the winding post for easy operation. The Flip-Flop function allows you to switch between a 42cm and 49cm bar width (S/M Bar) with just one click. This makes the procedure of changing the bar set up far simpler.

Winding Posts

The winding posts are made of a fully moulded fibreglass reinforced Polyamide construction, which offers an incredibly lightweight solution with increased stiffness. In addition to this, there is a moulded EVA cushioning to ensure maximum comfort for the rider. The Winding Posts feature an integrated backline adjustment, which allows the rider to trim the rear lines when needed. ATTENTION: Never ride without the cover. It prevents the knot of the leader line from slipping out of its housing. 

Plastic Fitted Centre Hole

The exchangeable insert for the centre hole is made of plastic to minimize wear on the depower line. The material they use is resistant to abrasion, and will cause much less damage, if sand is present, to the line itself.

Roto Head

The Roto Head permits you to untangle the lines after a rotational jump or a kiteloop while you are riding. It is made from an extremely durable plastic construction where no corrosion is possible. The Roto Head comes with two grub screws making it easy and fast to change the depower line. Simply use an FCS fin key to remove the screws and change the depower line.

Iron Heart VI Click-In Safety System

The new Iron Heart VI features a simple Click-In Safety System including an optical control function that allows you to reconnect the chicken loop as easily as you clip in your seat belt plus being able to check the green marking, to ensure the system is closed properly. Due to a ball bearing the Click Bar has an automatic untwist function

Suicide Ring

The ring allows you to set up a suicide system while keeping the ring and the leash up and out of the way of the chicken loop. This increases your ability to quickly hook in and out after freestyle tricks.
