Description

Do you need one bar for your whole quiver? This could be it. The Naish Kiteboarding Universal Control Bar is designed to work with the Ride, the Park, the Draft and any other 4 line kite.

NAISH UNIVERSAL BAR TECH SPECS:
• Sliding stopper
• Vario bar end adjustment 18”-20” (45-51cm)
• Smaller diameter 22mm bar
• 24 Meter Lines

What we like:
The universal bar has a fully functioning swivel on the front lines which will keep your lines untangled as you loop or roll your way to glory. The great news is that this swivel works well and doesn't seize up over time like some other swivels. We also like that the universal bar comes in just one size and is adjustable from 18 to 20 inches. This means you can use just one bar for your whole quiver if you like.
Another aspect we really like is a dependable safety system. No new crazy tech here (which is a darn good thing): the Naish Smart Loop has been providing reliable quick release mechanics for several years and it works time and again.

What we don't like:
If you are flying your really big kites (17m and 15m) you may wish you had a couple of extra inches on the bar to help with turning speed but this is a very minor aspect. The only other thing to note is that Naish have their knot-to-loop setup on the lines the other way round from most other manufacturers. So if you want to use your universal bar to fly any other 4 line kite (which is will happily do) you will need to switch the pigtails around. Don't worry - it only takes a second.

Why you want the 2014 Naish Universal Control Bar:
Because it's dependable and proven with all the safety features you would expect. Naish put a lot of effort into the construction of this bar and the extremely high quality is what makes this bar stand ou from the crowd.
Naish Universal Kite Control Bar Review by Pete Hardie:

I really like the well made grip on the universal bar - it feels like you have an extra bit of control on the water and that can't be a bad thing. The well functioning swivel is a great addition, especially if you are riding in the waves and looping the kite like crazy.

The below the bar depower can sometimes feel a little awkward to adjust but once you get used to the mechanics it does work extremely well. The single line flagging system is effective and easy to access. Some freestyle riders may like to see a tidier location for the flagging line at the chicken loop.

Overall I am a big fan of this bar and love the one size fits all policy - nice work Naish.

REAL Pro Tip: Make a loop in one the lines and use it to pull our the adjustment points for the bar length. Let us know if you need help explaining this - it's actually really simple.
