This design improves grip and comfort, especially near the front bridles, while providing a true support point that is particularly effective in high winds
This slight extension of the bar allows the rider to sheet out more easily, without excessive effort or wrist strain. It optimizes the balance between the front and back hand, and reduces front-hand pressure when riding without a harness. This ergonomic design ensures efficient handling and makes learning more intuitive.
The rider can also lean on this balance point and sheet out in a single movement. In strong winds, when immediate depower is required, this bar overhang offers a significant gain in stability and control.
The bar also integrates a small shielding tube at the A-point
Fully protecting the fingers when the sail pivots when sheeted out at its maximum, or when packing. It raises the rotation point as well, making all handling smoother and more comfortable while further improving the depower efficiency.
Finally, the bar benefits from an EVA grip for improved handling, along with EVA bumpers on all angles to protect both rider and gear from shocks.
