The unique Trim Unit of the Duotone Click Bar enables you to power and depower in precise steps at the flick of a switch. The game-changing Click Bar is now even better in combination with the new FLITE99 lines by Robline.
The floater is also removable so that you can inspect the leader lines of the bar. The new pigtails have reduced sleeving only where needed. This reduces the weight and the drag through the air at a critical connection point to the kite.
The FLITE99 lines from Robline reduce the drag through the air and offer a more direct steering response. The V Distributor III can be adjusted easily, allowing you to set the front-line split quickly. It can also be removed entirely, very easily, so you can have a very low V. This makes the Click Bar compatible with most kites on the market.
To power your kite, turn the Winder clockwise – this shortens the length of your backlines with every half turn.
To depower, simply push the button in the middle of the Winder and your backlines will lengthen again with every click.
At any time the level of power / depower is visible on the Power Display of the bar, as well as on a neon orange mark above the right floater. The Click Bar is equipped with the Iron Heart VI, ensuring a quick and reliable safety release.
Compatible on all 4 and 5-Line kite designs, such as Delta, C, Hybrid, and Bow Kites and all North Kiteboarding Rhino, Rebel, EVO, Fuse, Neo, Mono, Dyno and Vegas Kites.

Iron Heart VI:

The simple Click-In Safety System includes an optical control function that allows you to reconnect the chicken loop as easily as you clip in your seat belt plus being able to check the green marking, to ensure the system is closed properly.
V-Distributor III:
The new V Distributor III can be adjusted easily, allowing you to set the front line to split quickly. It can also be removed entirely, very easily, so you can have a very low V; this makes the Click Bar compatible with most kites on the market, allowing you also to choose on your preference and riding style.

Line Length Advisor:
The length of your flying lines can make a huge difference to the way your kite flies. Different styles of riding also require different line lengths, and lastly different kites and different kite sizes are designed to be flown with different line lengths. Riders often overlook these facts; they get new kites but don’t bother to match the kite and their riding style to the correct lines.
19m (70% Handling / 30% Power):
Super fast and reactive tuning speeds, shorter lines are best for extreme freestyle and crazy kiteloops. They are also excellent for wave riding, where kite turning speed is important. Wakestyle riders like the close connection to the kite too. The disadvantage is you lose some of the low end power.
- Fast and reactive turning
- For extreme Freestyle, Wakestyle and Waves
- Tight, super fast and hard kite loops
22m (60% Handling / 40% Power):
22m lines are still great for getting lots of speed from the kite, perfect for wave riding and freestyle. Not as extreme as the 19m lines, they still lose a bot of low end power.
- Reactive turning
- Fast kite loops
- Favourite set up from our freestyle riders
- Best choice for waveriding
24m (50% Handling / 50% Power):
The best choice for an all round length, good turning speed combined with good power make 24m the perfect choice for a lot of riders. Great for freeride, waves and freestyle.
- The most versatile length
- Great for all round freeriding
- Good low end and a good turning speed
- High jumps as you can “load” the lines
- The recommended size for a one bar quiver
27m (40% Handling / 60% Power):
The extra length means extra power, get a little more range out of your quiver by adding this bar with the longer lines. They are also great for jumping as you can really “load” the lines when you edge and send the kite back through the window.
- Enormous low end
- Huge jumps
- Lots of lift
The bar is your first point of contact with the kite, Iit is the connection between you and your kite and it is important to get it right. And it’s actually an easy formula: The shorter the lines, the more direct and faster the kite turns. The longer the lines, the more power you can generate out of them! Choose a Duotone Trust Bar, and choose the right line set up for your style of riding.

A step forward in kite control Review by Charlie Railton
In its 3rd year, the Click Bar has proven its innovative design. Yes they are more expensive but the benefits are worth it.
With no de-power mechanism above the bar, there is noting to get tangled or caught when you eject the bar in an emergency - safe. The fact that the centre lines stay untwisted no matter how many times you loop the kite adds to making this bar super safe! Adjustable line lengths and the ability to move the V-distributor allows the Click bar to be use across brands and the ability to match your line length to the kite size and wind conditions.
The click mechanism works beautifully, it makes sheeting in and out the equivalent of changing gear in a sporty car. Having the control at the bar means no reaching out to power/de-power the kite, an amazing feature if you are on a foil board or when you suddenly become over powered. The only instance that I can think of when a traditional sheeting system would have an advantage over the click would be for big wave surfing when you would need to throw power back on instantly at the foot of a wave, for all other situations - Click all the way!
Once you've clicked, you wont go back!
