I got an 45 cm bar for a tryout, and added my extensions on it for a total 30 mtr line length.
And it suits perfectly to what I was looking for, steering is much less sensitive for steer-input. And turns the kite slower throughout the power zone. Which have helped me with adding an additional rotation with my standard tricks. (landing now 99% 4 rotations (1440 degrees) and 60% of the time a 5 rotation trick (1800 degrees). And my slides are extended with 3-5 meters easily, just with 3 sessions. At the end of the slides, looping the kite is a little more difficult and I need to train my muscles for stronger steering. Some nice long distances crashes are the result, but worth the progress. Cannot wait for season 2021 without gloves and shoes.
I am sold about this bar setup, and ordered a new 45 cm bar for 2021.
