ION Water

ION Spreader Bar Kite C-Bar 1.0

Description

ION C-Bar 1.0 is the original spreader bar for kitesurf – the secure connection between your harness and kite bar. The bar comes with a stainless steel hook and provides direct, reliable power transfer, so your input from the bar reaches the kite precisely. Its simple, durable design makes it ideal for beginners, experienced riders, and as a spare bar for ION kite harnesses.

The highlight is the tension lever: The lever opens and closes the harness with a single grip, so you can get in and out quickly without having to adjust the straps every time. The construction also ensures that force is distributed symmetrically across the entire bar, giving you a stable and controlled feel on the water. The blend of nylon, stainless steel, and EVA makes the bar durable against salt water, sun, and everyday use.

  • Stainless steel hook: The included steel hook ensures a solid connection to the chicken loop and withstands saltwater.
  • Tension lever: The tension lever opens and closes the harness without changing the strap adjustment – easy to put on and take off.
  • Symmetrical power distribution: The pull is spread evenly across the entire bar for stable, predictable control.
  • Durable material blend: Nylon, stainless steel, and EVA provide a long lifespan and a comfortable fit.
  • Versatile use: Suitable for freeride, freestyle, and kite foil – from your first lesson to advanced sessions.
  • Ideal replacement bar: Designed for ION kite harnesses and directly replaces your harness’s original C-Bar.
  • Four sizes: Available in 22, 25, 28.5, and 32 cm – choose the same size as the bar your harness is built with.

  • Care & Maintenance

    Cleaning: Rinse the spreader bar in cold, clean fresh water after every session - especially after use in salt water - to prevent salt and sand from wearing down the hook, tension mechanism, and straps. Avoid machine washing, bleach, and harsh chemicals; wipe off stubborn dirt with a soft cloth and mild soap.

    Drying: Let the bar air-dry completely in the shade or in a well-ventilated area. Do not use a tumble dryer or heaters, or leave it in direct sunlight for extended periods, as heat and UV rays can degrade nylon, EVA, and polyester over time.

    Storage: Store the clean, dry bar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Regularly check the stainless steel hook and tension lever for wear or damage, and replace worn parts before heading out on the water again.
