I really like the look of these bars, yes plural cause as far As I can see they are all made in the same factory with some different paint.
Clean design with btb swivel and atb depower.

The best bars I've seen lately are the ones from Core, Zeeko and LF, which are all following the same trends:
-Adjustable bar ends
-Thick, stretch and wear-resistant lines
-These all come with some kind of stacked lines, like 20+4 - which in combination with adjustable bar ends - actually makes the bar usable with any size kite
-Reversible pig tails - which makes these virtually compatible with any kite models on the market.
We're still far from THE industry standard, but it's getting there...
