What kites are you flying with this bar?
Great detail review btw thanks for comparing, dreamstick X will be my next bar. I’m very impressed with ex-Naish Kite designer developed such a great product. It makes my think that other Reedin has other great products in pipeline.

Thanks for your feedback SolarSet, much appreciated.
I run a 7, 9, 10.5 & 12m 2018 LF NV's with the bar. I will be sure to demo the SuperModel V2 when I get a chance

Cheers

Video is excellent, I appreciate you taking the time to film, comment, and talk about the bar. I will try to remember to reply here and ask you how it is holding up in a few months.

I’m not that guy but have the Dreamstick X, which is a great piece of kit, everything works very nicely, particularly the auto centre line untwisting. I very much like never having to worry about this.

Hi Sun, I liked the bar but killed the lines very quickly again, just like I did on the V2. I actually sent it back and got a full refund after one and half months use... which is pretty impressive.(the refund, lol)

I think if you use it in good wind for your kite size, where your nicely powered up and don't mind replacing the lines (with another brand) its a great option. I say this as if you use the bar in the lower wind range of your kite, it can occasionally be a bit "jamy" when sheeting and steering.

I now have the Flysurfer Infinity XX bar, the quality of the lines are so good, loads of use on it now, maybe 2 or 3 times what I put on the Xbar and still in very good condition lines. Its become the main thing I'm after now in a bar.
The Flysurfer auto untwist is not as good as the Reedin... but I have just ordered a Inflexion seat belt click in QR which will fix that up nicely!

It's designed I'm pretty sure by majestic.
Like a lot of the bars on the market.
If it has a M on the QR like the dreamstick V2 its a majestic design. Exactly the same box as the sentry V1 bar and that is a majestic design.
