ION Water

ION Spreader Bar Kite Spectre 2

Description

ION Spectre Bar 2 is the latest generation of ION’s kite spread bar, built for kiteboarders who want maximum control and comfort – from everyday sessions to big air jumps. Developed by ION over several years with more than 50 testers and over 2,000 hours of testing, it’s used by top big air kiteboarders such as Andrea Principi. With a forged aluminum hook, carbon-reinforced baseplate and integrated padding, this bar combines strength, protection and direct response on the water.

At the heart of the bar is the forged aluminum hook, molded into the bar’s body and shaped with a top-bend design that increases resistance and reduces leverage when the hook is under heavy load. The baseplate is made of injection-molded plastic reinforced with recycled carbon fibers, providing greater durability and strength. The bar’s body is also embedded in soft padding that covers the hard edges and protects both you and your harness – so you can focus on your session, not your gear.

  • Forged aluminum hook: Molded into the bar’s body with a top-bend design for increased resistance and reduced leverage.
  • Spectre flaps: Easily removable flaps made of durable TPE plastic that prevent the spread bar from twisting up and provide extra stability and response.
  • Carbon-reinforced baseplate: Injection-molded plastic with recycled carbon fibers for increased durability and strength.
  • Double-sided buckles: Durable stainless steel connection between the bar and webbing, with a double-sided lever system so you can quickly remove the bar without adjusting the webbing.
  • Integrated padding: The bar’s body is embedded in padding that covers sharp edges for maximum protection, comfort and safety.
  • Side loops: Make it quick and easy to take the bar off and put it on – especially handy when traveling.
  • Modular design: The aluminum hook can be replaced with a webbing slider, letting you customize the bar to your preferred setup.

  • Care & Maintenance

    How to best care for your ION Spectre Bar 2:

    • Rinse after use: Rinse the bar in fresh water after every session - especially after use in salt water - to prevent salt and sand from building up in the hook, buckles, webbings, and padding.
    • Washing: Do not machine-wash the bar. Clean the padding, flaps, and webbings with mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft brush as needed.
    • Drying: Let the bar air-dry completely in the shade or in a well-ventilated room. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, and tumble dryers, as heat and UV can degrade the materials.
    • Inspection: Regularly check the aluminum hook, stainless steel buckles, webbings, and stitching for wear, cracks, or damage, and replace worn parts before your next session.
    • Storage: Store the bar somewhere dry, cool, and dark - never folded while wet. Ideally, store it loosely rolled or flat in a bag so the padding and flaps retain their shape.
