North Navigator Bar

Postby surfkite25 » Mon Oct 18, 2021 10:19 pm

Does anyone know if the new 2022 North chickenloops are compatible with the older North navigator bars? I have a 2021. I would like to upgrade the loop but not the whole bar. Thanks

I know year 1 (2020?) and year 2 (2021?) are supposedly not interchangeable. Ran into this when I ordered year 2 loops from a dealer and had they called me to confirm which year bar I was using the loops on. When I explained I was using the year 1 bar they switched me over to the year 1 loops.

i know the 20 loops work on 20 and 21 bars, as i have both bars and use the short freeride, standard freeride and surf/slider on both.
I'm assuming they will also work on the 22 bars, as i just did a visual comparison ... you can confirm this by instagram dm with shaun bennett, the north tech rep/team rider ... he's very approachable/friendly guy

I can confirm North 2022 chicken loops will work on both 2020 and 2021 Navigator bars. All 3 years are interchangeable. The update on the 2022 loop is that there is no longer enough space on the standard loops to use the freestyle leash ring -- to use the spare part leash ring you will need to have a 2022 Freestyle loop or any of the 2020/2021 loops.
