Interesting, right after you posted this I just happened to be talking to Barton Decker at his shop and he was telling me about his son, Ryder (Team rider for Airush) and this “long-throw-no-trim-strap” bar that Ryder uses a lot. Ok, one more to check out. Thanks!decay wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 5:55 amAirush Ultra Bar v2 has 60cm of throw:

As always, there are multiple reasons to have a short connector/release.Matteo V wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 4:28 pmOne thing I don't get about you guys who get rid of the chicken loop and just have a release, is that you wind up putting a spacer above the release anyway. Some use knots, and some just have a fixed extra distance to make up for where the chicken loop would be.
Everyone I have asked in person about this explains that it is uncomfortable to be always using the kite with the bar so close to you where your arms are pretty much pointed downwards. Obviously it's more comfortable to have your arms out a little bit on the bar instead of right up against your body. So where is the benefit in getting rid of the chicken loop if you just make a spacer for that distance anyway?
