Update from my end as I had CB 2023 front line snapping in like 10th session tearing kite ear off, after all lines were replaced by DT dealer I never used CB until I replaced them by lines from Infexion on my Click Bar 2023 I replaced both upper lines (lower lines are thick diameter away) and replace front line on my trust bar. With SK99 550 With order just over €120 with shipping I think it’s good value to take worries away of snapping them. Kite lines are still thin however each front attachment line spreads to multiple line so I believe that bar from line are weakest link here.
If someone needs to confirm lengths on Click Bar 2023 size M/L or Trust bar 2022 size 24m for these lines I’m happy to help.
I just have used both bars in Soma bay this week and these line quality is superb, it’s similar feeling to Core Sensor 3 front lines.
so on the click bar you replaced the upper lines of the back lines and on the trust bar the upper lines of the front lines?

I replaced the following:
Click Bar 2023 size M lines 22m - front lines
Trust Bars 2022 size L lines 24m (upper front lines)
I did not replace steering lines (back lines) as there is significant less load on them. Remaining parts of front line are thick original lines and I don’t see reason to replace them.
New Trust bar is different more similar to click bar so you need to replace different lines.

Interesting that there's no mention about this in any of the correspondence in this thread?

I will never buy anything Duotone, they have the hype, sell their shit for stupid money, and keep a high Y just to be different because it makes no sense.

Indeed. I probably revived the wrong thread.. a bit new to the forum search function.
This one is the more recent thread with the trust bar issues logged in the conversation, from December 2023 onwards
viewtopic.php?t=2417252
Quite a few months of people potentially riding with a flawed bar/line design?

I have got Trust bar 2023/24 in February this year and it has this blue dot on the box however I'm exchanging front lines to SK99 550 anyway as according to Evan from Infexion mention that Core is using similar/same lines on the Core Sensor 3 Pro bar so it should give me peace of mind.

Front trim lines for most companies notoriously fail after a season or two, I switched to Q -powerlines just for the front lines and have been solid for over 4 years now. I did have to replace one line from my own user error. Kite went down on beach but lines tangled in rocks in shallow water, I tried to pull on lines to reverse launch kite and shredded it. They are not rock or reef proof but they last long for general kite flying.
