CONNECT2 VS. CONNECT1

The CONNECT2 Control Bar is delivered as a 4-line with FLS (Frontline Safety System).

The FLS end line is coated in blue and equipped with a swivel ball. The leash hardly gets shortened or twisted. This measure prevents the shortening of a single front line, which would result in the kite steering independently to one side.

An FLS end line (blue) is included in the scope of delivery instead of the depower rope. The blue FLS end line has a sheath that can be rubbed through after heavy use. In this case the enclosed white line becomes visible. The exchange with the enclosed FLS end line is essential. The conversion from 21 m to 14 m flight line length has been significantly simplified and works like the FORCE and INFINITY Control Bar. To do this, the flight line extensions are loosened, the safety systems FLS and B-Safe are still fully functional.

The CONNECT2 now has pigtails to prevent wear on the splice ends on the flying lines.

Features

LIGHT BAR STICK

The 0.34 kg light Barholm is color-coded with orange (left) and petrol (right). The back can be clearly distinguished from the front with a continuous gray design element. The ergonomically shaped, [M] 50cm long bar is protected by an EVA grip and lies comfortably in the hand. The non-slip surface guarantees optimal grip in wet and cold conditions.

SIMPLE QUICK RELEASE

The compact and reliable SIMPLE Quick Release fulfills the French standard (AFNOR) in terms of safety and release forces in the event of contamination. The compact designed chicken loop with stick secure the connection between the harness hook and the control bar and prevent unintentional unhooking. The handy release cap enables precise and low-resistance activation of the safety system in an emergency. The front lines can be turned out manually using the swivel located above the quick release.

B-SAFE SYSTEM READY

The CONNECT Control Bar has been specially configured for products with the B-Safe system. The 4-line FLS system can be converted to a 5-line system in just a few simple steps. After the release, the control bar slides up to 4 m along the 5th line, gathers the kite together and lets it fall down without generating any power. The B-Safe system requires a high split of the front lines (high Y) and a thin line with little air resistance. The PEAK and VIRON product lines have the B-Safe system.

ADJUST TO THE GIVEN CONDITIONS

Use the adjustment options of the flying lines to adapt the CONNECT Control Bar to the weather conditions or your driving style. Choose between 14 m and 21 m flying line length to increase reactivity or to reduce the wind window. The steering lines can be extended with the help of a knot ladder under the floaters. In order to be easy to use for every body size, the depower travel is exactly 45 cm. The Clam Cleat Adjuster can be used to gain a further 20 cm of depower travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the CONNECT Control Bar be used with SOUL or SONIC or other FLYSURFER products?

Due to the 3 m long release path, SOUL, SONIC, STOKE, BOOST, VMG cannot be flown with the CONNECT Control Bar! In an emergency the kite cannot flag out after activating the safety system and still generats a strong pull. Its use is life-threatening! The CONNECT Control Bar can only be used with PEAK and VIRON!

Is the B-Safe system still usable if I shorten the flying lines of the CONNECT control bar?

Yes, the B-Safe system is fully functional with 14m lines, we recommend this length for training / school / strong winds.

Is there a Chicken Loop for slider harnesses?

No, the SIMPLE Quick Release is only available in the current edition. Using a harness with a slider rope will damage the chicken loop.
