Re: today's best universal bars?
Actually - it isn't. What North has announced is closer to current offerings by Eleveight, F-One and Flysurfer - than to that of Cabrinha. Very-very nice bar, same design as some of the best bars out there, but made-specifically-for-North-enough not to be generic.matth wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 10:10 pmLooks like a redesign of a Cab trimlite bar....which is not a bad thingnixmatters wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 12:28 pmTrue attention to every detail!

Re: today's best universal bars?
A bar made specifically for mowing the lawn either on a foil or a surf board. How is it universal to begin with - regardless of the lines length?

Magnet?????? no problems so far..eloico wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 4:54 pmSS Bars are ok BUT:
-heavy
-magnet in cleat to keep tidy the depower rope is a big Joke, it just do not work properly, gets rusty, and collects all the little iron particles in the sand...
-depower rope wears down after a few sessions (lighwind and moving the kite a lot).
-replacing depower rope is difficult and requires 2 different tools.
-and a few other things...
I see a lot of room for improvement ! in Bar Desing " Less is More"
Heavy??? I don't unhook so not an issue for me
Depower line wearing???? no issues after thirty session, most likely change around 50.And I can see the problem before it snaps, unlike hidden PU tube bars.
Difficult to change depower line??? I've changed compression rings on my dirt bikes, I'm pretty sure it will be a breeze.
And I have never paid more than $325
