ION Spreader Bar Kite Spectre 2 Slider

Description

ION Spreader Bar Kite Spectre 2 Slider is a technically refined spreader bar for kitesurfers who want maximum freedom of movement and a stable, precise connection between kite and harness. It was developed especially with strapless riders in mind, as well as anyone who values a comfortable and precise system. After years of development involving over 50 testers and more than 2,000 hours of testing, it’s now a preferred choice among top riders like Matchu Lopes and Camille Losserand.

At its core is the durable webbing slider system, which lets the chicken loop glide smoothly back and forth, keeping your movements free and fluid, especially during long downwind sessions. The base is injection-molded from plastic and reinforced with recycled carbon fibers, offering high stiffness and strength at low weight, while the integrated padding covers the hard edges and reduces pressure points during long sessions. If you want a different setup, you can easily replace the slider with a classic aluminum hook.

  • Spectre flaps: Easily removable, durable TPE plastic flaps on both sides prevent the bar from twisting upward and provide extra stability and response.
  • Double-sided buckles: Stainless steel buckles with a double-sided release mechanism make it easy to take the bar off and put it back on without adjusting the webbing straps.
  • Dyneema webbing slider: Ensures the chicken loop glides smoothly and steadily, reducing strain on your body while riding.
  • Carbon-reinforced base plate: Injection-molded plastic with carbon fibers combines low weight with high stiffness and a long lifespan.
  • Integrated padding: Covers the hard edges and provides maximum protection, comfort, and safety.
  • Side loops: Make the bar quick to take off and put on, ideal for travel and frequent packing.
  • Flexible setup: The slider can be replaced with an aluminum hook, letting you adapt the bar to your riding style.

  • Care & Maintenance

    Washing: Rinse the spreader bar in lukewarm fresh water after each session, especially after use in salt water. Use mild soap and a soft cloth or brush for stubborn dirt, and avoid washing machines, strong cleaning products, and pressure washers, as they can damage the webbing, padding, and slider.

    Drying: Let the bar air-dry completely in a shady, well-ventilated place before putting it away. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as well as tumble dryers, radiators, and other artificial heat sources, which can break down the materials over time.

    Storage: Store the bar completely dry in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Avoid leaving it in a damp bag or a hot car for extended periods.

    General care: Regularly check the webbing, buckles, flaps, and slider for wear, cracks, and corrosion, and remove sand from the mechanisms. The bar is part of your safety equipment, so replace any worn or damaged parts before heading back out on the water.

  • FAQ

    What is a slider spreader bar?

    A slider bar uses a webbing slider system instead of a fixed hook, allowing the chicken loop to move freely while riding. This gives you maximum freedom of movement, which is why it's popular with strapless riders and kitesurfers looking for a smooth, precise feel.

    What sizes is the ION Spectre 2 Slider available in?

    The bar comes in four sizes: 22, 25, 28.5, and 32 cm. Choose the width that matches your harness for the best fit.

    Can the slider be replaced with a hook?

    Yes, the slider can be replaced with a classic aluminum hook. This lets you adapt the bar to your preferred riding style and the current conditions.

    What are the benefits of the Spectre flaps?

    The durable TPE plastic flaps sit on both sides of the bar and can easily be removed and reattached. They keep the bar from twisting upward, providing greater stability and a more direct response.

    How do you attach the bar to the harness?

    The double-sided stainless steel buckles click onto the harness webbing with a single motion. You can take the bar off and put it back on without adjusting the straps, and the side loops make it even easier to handle, for example when packing for a trip.

    Is the bar good for long sessions?

    Yes. The integrated padding covers the hard edges and reduces pressure points, while the lightweight carbon-reinforced base keeps the weight down. This provides comfort and control throughout your session.

    Why do the pros trust this bar?

    The bar was developed over several years with more than 50 testers and over 2,000 hours of testing, and is used by top strapless riders such as Matchu Lopes and Camille Losserand. This makes it a tried-and-tested choice for both strapless and freeride.

    How do you best care for the bar?

    Rinse the bar with fresh water after use in salt water, let it dry in the shade, and store it in a cool, dry place. Regularly check the webbing, buckles, and slider for wear, as the bar is part of your safety equipment.
