Bought this year does not have even 30 session with it...
Definitely not a bar to trust...
WAR it looks like something happened.. a picture of a broken line and a line that has eaten the bar..
Looks like a thing that can happen to all brands bars..
Can you share what happend?
I also don't trust the new duotone lines. My Rebel bridle line snapped in de 2nd session. I showed the bridle lines to kite repair companies and they saw a bad splice technique. But your bar looks line a line wrap? Ik kite the rebel with a low V and that works fine.
An alternative could be the ventum bar. It's cheap, better lines with a good splice quality. Autobelt quickrelease and a nice swifel. (just a tip, i'm not a teamrider). https://ventumkiteboarding.com/bars/tough-v3/

That Ventum bar looks really interesting. Basically same as the North Navigator, which I like, but only the trim line is PU covered to prevent wear. It appears that line covering is sealed so you can't get sand in it, which would avoid the major issue with covering these lines. For the OP, however, it is a low V bar. And yes, OP needs to explain what happened. Plus in Kemperman's video the title says bridle snap but your text says line snapped?
tested Reedin bar few days ago and this bar seems perfect, nice size, dimeter, colour, untwist, can't see anything drawbacks almost as ergonomic as mine Core Sensor.
I can't see better bar w low V. I don't know about quality long term since there isn't a lot of these sold but I can image they have good QC
