Duotone Click Bar Quad Control 2023

Maintenance instructions for Duotone Click Bar Quad Control 2023

• Rinsing: Rinse the bar, lines and Iron Heart system with fresh water after every session in salt water to remove salt, sand and dirt. Pay particular attention to the trim unit, push button and V-Distributor, where sand can easily get trapped.
• Drying: Let all equipment air-dry completely in the shade before putting it away. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays degrade both lines and plastic parts.
• Cleaning:
• Inspection: Regularly check the lines, knots, pigtails and quick release for wear. Ongoing inspection of the leader lines and safety system is essential for your safety.
• Storage: Store the bar in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight. Avoid storing it tightly coiled in a car or in airtight bags for extended periods.
• Important: Water and chemicals (including sunscreen and cleaning products) can damage the material. Always check the quick release and Iron Heart before going on the water.

What’s new with the Duotone Click Bar Quad Control 2023?

The 2023 model features the new Iron Heart VI Click-In Safety System, where you simply press the chicken loop into place, as well as new FLITE99 lines from Robline, which provide less air resistance and more direct control.

What sizes and line lengths is the Click Bar available in?

The Click Bar Quad Control 2023 is available in a small (42 cm) and a medium (49 cm) version. The lines range from 20/22 m and 22/24 m to a school setup with 12 m lines plus 12 m extensions.

Is the bar compatible with all kites?

The bar is designed for Duotone kites and is compatible with North Kiteboarding kites up to and including 2018. Thanks to the adjustable or removable V-Distributor III, it can also be used with most other kites on the market.

Does the bar come with a chicken loop and safety leash?

No. The bar comes without a chicken loop and safety leash, so you can choose an accessory set that suits your riding style - for example, freeride, freestyle or wave. They must be ordered separately.

How does the trim system work?

You depower the kite step by step by pressing the push button on the trim unit, and increase power again by turning the winder - both can be done without letting go of the bar.

Can the bar be upgraded to a 5th line?

Yes. The Click Bar is a 4-line bar as standard, but can be converted to a 5-line setup with a separate 5th Element Upgrade Kit for extra safety and easier relaunching in light wind.

How do I care for my Click Bar?

Rinse the bar and lines in fresh water after use, let them dry in the shade, and regularly check the lines and safety system for wear. Store the equipment dry and away from direct sunlight.
