Bought this bar last week and used two times. Really great bar, very comfortable bar grips. Lines are great too. Bar through is good my arm. Only issue is the line management bungee I found gets inside the float a bit tricky to get them out. But it's not a big issue. Also. 22m line is perfect for most of my kite. It would be great if they had 20m with 2m extension rathen 12m with 10m extension. I mean how many people do really use 12m line? It's like including freestyle unhooked large chicken loop with the bar rather than medium one, though knowing most people don't unhook. Overall really great bar.
Hi Hugh. Great job on the bar, I have one. I also have a click bar and would love to see an adjustable stopper to set bar position and a frictionless swivel so the front lines never get twisted.
Awesome job on the bar guys. The perfect kite bar, simple to use, lots of setup options 😎. Tool less too. Especially like that you can ride with super short lines for foil. Looks super easy to swap setup.
Good job guys, this is a very strong entry into the market and i'd say the best above the bar trim bar to date. You guys forgot to mention the auto unswivel function from the rectangular tubing, like on the click bar. this is something i cant miss anymore after becoming used to it.
Hendrik Van de Perre, are you sure that the slot in the bar is shaped to assist untangling the front lines via the rectangular tube? They may have blown the slot open large enough to avoid the tube catching as the bar slides over it. If that is the case, I’m not sure it will untangle the front lines. I have not seen the bar in person and am curious.
Hi Ben, Thanks so much for getting in touch and sorry to hear about the issue with your North gear. We hope you can get back on the water again soon. I would advise you to reach out to info@northkb.com, they will talk you through making a warranty claim and getting in contact with your dealer. Thanks Heaps, North
Is it possible to run the bar in Semi suicide to avoid flagging kite out in unhooked crash, but still being able to quick release, in case of situation?
yea just hook your leash into the flag out line (as you would normally do) and then just hook your leash onto the chicken loop, so your kite will not flag out when you crash unhooked.
Thanks Steve, North is currently offering a replacement for all pre-December 2019 Navigator Control System Depower Main Line (DPML) Parts. To find out if your Navigator Control System is eligible, please contact the dealer you purchased it from. The Depower Main Line (DPML) is a wear and tear part that we recommend is replaced at regular service intervals. We've updated the part in all control systems shipped after December 2019, but in pre-December models, the DPML part may be less durable and require more frequent change. Please note, the replacement applies only to Navigator Control Systems shipped to retailers before December 2019. If you have a North Navigator Control System: 1) Please contact the dealer where you purchased your Navigator. 2) You will be asked for the serial number of the Navigator so they can check if the Depower Main Line requires replacement. 3) If so, you can choose to return the Navigator to the dealer for replacement, or you can order the DPML part to replace yourself, following the instructions here ruclips.net/video/vBdSyl8MCGo/видео.html
You are totally right mate! What the hell is this guy talking! Megaloops on 12 m lines... ? Obvious this dude doesnt know what this is all about. Good work north

hey why the last navigator bar is not untwisting automatically just manualy by twisting via hand? are you planning to add some stoper on bar?

Nice presentation, Hugh - bar looks massive!

"Low parasitic drag" - the pilot in me is impressed.
Hey guys! How do you put this bar into suicide mode for unhooked tricks?
thanks!
Thank you.
Have it.
Very happy.

I am looking for a bar and North navigator looks like have it all I was looking for. Any idea what is the bar itself made of?
Hi, where can I find a manual how to change a broken safety finger? Thanx!

That single handed chicken loop is such a great feature.

yea just hook your leash into the flag out line (as you would normally do) and then just hook your leash onto the chicken loop, so your kite will not flag out when you crash unhooked.
I found that it is super hard to pull off the cassettes.
Very cool
Twisted lines due to too many loops
total gut, klar besser als der Duotone-Mist
There’s a recall on these bars, check ya serial numbers and contact your dealer

North Kiteboarding thanks for the instructions link 👍
@@North_Kiteboarding oh wow
This a guy from "Terminator" 😂🤣
Shouldn’t it be more useful to have the line split at 20m? Who the f is riding with 12m lines ?? 🤪
Apparently kids and students.
You are totally right mate!
What the hell is this guy talking! Megaloops on 12 m lines... ? Obvious this dude doesnt know what this is all about. Good work north
Core sensor 3 pro you can run at 18, 20, 22 or 24m
Can’t see many ever do the 12m lines
Unwatcheable because of the loud background music
