Well here is a video with my initial impressions, this is about a week into riding the rebels
I remembered thinking about this yesterday, but forgot to ask - how are you enjoying the Rebel on the low V? I've not seen anyone use North bars on Duotone kites. Mainly because of the low V, but also because the pigtails are reversed.

I use a High-Y adaptor and just switched the pigtails. The only reason to use North is they have a very simple bar that has good durability and no extra stuff attached. I really liked the SS bars but I had a few instances were the uncoated lines would tangle on impact, and since the new Sentry bar sucks, I decided to go with the North bar which is very polished and has a similar, high quality build

I've got 3 Sentry V1 bars no problems at all.
2 Eleveight bars a Naish torque bar North navigator which is ok.
Love the Naish torque but the new torque 2 will be similar to slingshot bar double Pu for added strength than a single Pu line and double eyelit so it auto untwists.
I loved the old rope bars on Naish Slingshot and Eleveight.
Absolutely hate Pu coated lines.
Most new bars from now on will be running a double Pu and double eyelit on the bar.
Hope you like the rebels I love the raptors V1.
