Description
The 2020 Duotone Click Bar Quad Control M 22-24 started a revolution in kiteboarding bar design and function that continues to reverberate through the industry. The thing that makes it go "click" is the unique power adjustment function that lets you power or depower the kite with a simple twist or button-push of one of the bar ends. Turning the bar end clockwise powers it up by shortening the back lines; pushing the button at the bar end depowers it by lengthening the back lines. You can see the action and level of power on the "Power Display" easily visible on the bar as well as above the right floater.
THE FORCE TAKEAWAY
We recommend the Click Bar to riders of all skill levels who want a highly safe, versatile, and feature-rich universal 4 line control system with adjustable line length and V positioning, an automatic untwist safety system, can be used with 4 or 5 line kites or the Hadlow setup, and has the exclusive Click power/depower system.
DUOTONE'S PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Duotone Click Bar revolutionized how we control our kites, on a completely new level! Now additionally available is a narrower version of the Click Bar, only 42cm wide and a line length of 20m plus 2m extensions! Also there are four different chicken loop options available offering maximum performance and customization.
The unique Trim Unit of the Click Bar enables you to power and depower in precise steps at the flick of a switch. 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 V, ensuring a quick and reliable safety release. Lines, even the guided safety line, are automatically untwisted during rotations. It’s delivered with a 4 line set up and adjustable to either 20m and 22m or to 22 m and 24 m line length.

TECH
The Winder
Twisting the Winder of the Trim Unit clockwise, shortens the back lines, visible at the neon orange mark in the power display of the bar and the neon orange mark on the floater. The kite has more power. The power steps are divided in eight steps, half a rotation on the winder is one power step.
The Button
Pushing the Push Button lengthens the back lines, visible at the neon orange mark in the power display of the bar and the neon orange mark on the floater. The kite has less power. Pushing the button once is one depower step.

LINE LENGTH ADVISOR
The length of Duotone flying lines can make a huge difference to the way a kite flies. Different styles of riding, different kite models or the kite size are influencing factors that require different line length.
