Very much like the Slingshot Sentry V1 bar double eyelet etc and is a awesome bar.
Auto untwist works a treat.
Easy fast change of safety line as well
It's non adjustable for throw so don't know if Naish bar will be adjustable either.
Did they soften up the slingshot bar. Ive had 2 and they shredded my hands. Slingshot has always had the best lines but the bar is also heavy.

My hands have callouses everywhere.
Not because of the Sentry V1 bar it's because I kite a fair bit and sail so sometimes the odd callous gets ripped off.
Same wrap still on the Slingshot bar.
But not as soft as Naish, Crazyfly and Eleveight bars which I have.
I only feel that it's not as padded after about a 3 hr into my session.
But haven't shredded my hands yet
.
Naish bar should be available in 3-4 months.
So just wait as they have usual Naish wrap.

I think the new Naish Bar will become available with the usual spring release (Boxer, Dash, etc.)

Yeah ! I love my naish bars. I have rheumatoid arthritis and the ergonomic shape of the bar fits perfectly in my hand. I thought the new bar release was this month or next month.

What I heard was that the S26 kite line up is delayed.
I know that they didn't have enough stock numbers produced this yr to meet demand because of production problems suppliers covid so limited staff with manufacturers.
So maybe that's the reason?
If so at all.
I think they will release as usual but distributors will have access to limited stock.

I have two of the new bars after using the old bars for years. The new bar is a complete redo except for the lines which is a good thing. The new grip is much smoother and easier on the hands, works great. It is also much lighter than the old bar...
