Torque 2 Control System

Line Lengths: 20 m, 22 + 2 m
Bar Widths: 50 cm, 55 cm

Available Summer 2021

Naish has reimagined how riders connect to their kite. The all-new SnapLock quick-release puts safety and efficiency as the top priorities while adding click-in simplicity and modularity with different loop sizes. The Torque 2 bar takes the proven design of the original version and refines it with new grips and floaters, new PU-coated trim lines which feel smoother on your hands and reduce wear, a new slimmer one-piece trim cleat, and a new stopper ball to limit release throw.

SNAPLOCK QUICK RELEASE TECHNICAL FEATURES:

One-Click Reload
Effortlessly reload your quick release with one simple motion.

Instantaneous Loop Change
Swap between four different loop styles in an instant. Whether you are sharing kites with a friend, or want to change up your riding style, it is now easier than ever.

Release on Demand
An ergonomic design paired with an increased quick release throw keeps you clicked in securely and releases on demand.

Shortened System
We have brought everything within reach and enhanced your feeling of control by cutting over 3 cm off of the complete safety system.

Haaaaaaa, a bar that is completely red on the left part !!!!
That should be a standard for all the brands: no grey, not yellow, no blue... just RED !!

Haven’t we had releases before where the chicken loop comes off completely? What’s to stop you losing it in a release situation?

Do they want to sell heaps of spare front line sets? Because connecting bare Dyneema without reinforcement will get them to wear a bit faster indeed.

Ah well, more work for the repair shops, haha. I do recommend to get your hands on a decent set of pigtails before using this bar....

Here is a short review on the beach, where you can see the bar closely and how the QR works:

Hi!

@Bar lenghts ATB-50 vs. ATB55. So the

a) ATB-50 offers a width of either 45cm or 50cm and
a) ATB-55 offers a width of either 50cm or 55cm and

Is this correct?

Moreover is there any "general" recommendation when to use ATB50 or ATB55?
Of course, In know it is a personal decission but what is the general recommendation for a Pivot quiver of 7-9-12?

Maybe someone can give a recommendation on this.

Cheers,
Christoph

Over the past years I have used the previous Torque Bar in 55 for all sizes from 5/7 Slash to 8/11 Pivot and 14 Boxer. I have spoiled myself a bit and have bought the new bar in both sizes.

I have the ATB50 for 4, 7 and 10m Kites

I would say 11m+ is when you want to be using the ATB55 bar. For your example: 7 & 9m Pivot = definitely a 50cm bar, 12m Pivot = definitely a 55cm bar

The donkey dick. I mean you would not release if you are unhooked, and if the donkey dick is enough to keep the chicken loop attached while you are getting pulled by a kite, it should be enough to make it stay in case of a release.
