One of the best 5 line systems on the market for learning to improve your freestyle riding.
It not only has a simple 5 line safety system which instantly depowers the kite with a push away quick release system, but it also uses a depower clip in toggle, which enables a rider to practice tricks on suicide mode, yet upon letting go of the bar the toggle will pull the depower rope through the cleat to depower the kite, but still keep it flying. This not only reduces the impact and chances of breaking the kite, it also enables a rider to reload and ride off much quicker than being on 5th lines giving the best of both worlds.
The Shift Bar Grip is probably the best in the world. Soft and with finger slots on the top surface of the bar providing more feel for the rider. Riding with these finger slots gives you a more accurate hand position without having to look down at the bar when timing is crucial.
- Color-coded, thermo-molded EVA and embossed grip:For superior grip.
- Ultra-soft powerflex bar ends:Conforms to the outside of the riders hand and integrates the floaters.
- Vario bar end adjustment:A Naish exclusive. The Dupont Hytrel bar end incorporates an internal adjustment system. The Vario Adjustment features a flush hook, which streamlines the bar end. The rider simply uses their flying line to rotate the hook, which in-turn modifies the apparent length of the control bar. Ideal for fast adjustment when changing bar length between strong and light winds.
- Internal back line trimming:Keeps the exposed line as clean as possible.
- Precision asymmetrical grip: Allows the rider to feel the bar orientation immediately.
- Flared aluminum center hole:For minimal friction, easy turning, and “bomber” durability.
- Graduated trim line marking: Provides a visual position indication for the Sliding Bar Stopper.
- Sliding stopper: Travels over a fixed distance to optimize maximum depower.
- Fool Proof Connectors: Removes the possibility of wrong line connection with the kite.
- Wide heavy duty webbing leash with quick release: Allows easy repositioning after handle passes.


The shift bar comes in three line lengths. Choose 17m or 20m, for high wind small kite weather, and 24m for freestyle riding for all sizes
