Features

• TOOLLESS INTERLOOP SYSTEM WITH LOCKGUARD
  Switch effortlessly between disciplines - no tools required. Simply push, twist, pull, lock and go. Loops are made from optimized TPU material for flex and durability, with a more rigid freeride security finger to prevent unexpected unhooking. Flexible LockGuard safety ring prevents accidental release of your interloop.
• PROTECTIVE PU-COVERED LEADER LINES
  To help prevent line abrasion from uncovered lines against your skin, we've used color-coded PU tubing covers. The covers also help them remain rigid and out of the way when the flying lines aren't under tension.
• LIGHTWEIGHT OVER-MOLDED TRIM HANDLE WITH DYNEEMA LINES
  Easy to reach molded trim handle doesn't hurt when it hits you. Made from Nylon/EVA for strength with a textured soft-touch grip. Top-quality German-made extremely high wear Dyneema depower and trim line with a special impregnation coating for resistance to abrasion.
• CUSTOM LOW-FRICTION SPINNING HANDLE
  Unspin your front lines easily.
• KOOK-PROOF FLYING LINE CONNECTORS
  Ensure you always set up your flying lines correctly. Designed to be exactly the same length so you can easily change the front (knotted end) and rear (lark's head loop) connectors to match most other manufacturers' kite configurations. Please familiarize yourself with the safety procedures and trimming instructions outlined in your kite's user manual.
• INTUITIVE SINGLE-ACTION RELOAD
  Security and performance in all conditions. Our patented and ISO-approved Connect Quick Release (QR) raises the bar in kite control system safety. The red QR handle has been ergonomically designed to fit in your hand comfortably for an industry-standard push away release. All loaded or running surfaces feature highly polished 316 stainless steel and low-friction components. The larger diameter bungee inside the QR helps reduce accidental release.
• THREE ADJUSTABLE BAR LENGTH OPTIONS
  Fine tune the turning speed of your kite. The Navigator is available in three sizes 50-55cm (L), 45-50cm (M) and 38-43cm (S). To extend/retract bar length simply pull out cassettes on the bar-ends, rotate 180 degrees and snap back into place.
• SPINNING LEASH ATTACHMENT RING
  Our oval-shaped leash pin ring is elongated for easier fastening of the leash carabiner, and spins to help prevent your landing line from twisting.
• SOFT EVA BAR ENDS WITH RETRACTABLE LINE WINDERS
  The positive buoyancy bar ends with integrated line winder bungees are injection molded in one piece with no-glue seams for long-lasting quality. The bar ends ensure nothing hard comes in touch with you or your board, float the entire bar, and also contain the concealed rear line adjustment. Even the best quality lines shrink over time, so after a month, we recommend you check your lines are all even and drop them to the bottom knot. It's easy and takes only a minute to make the change.

• ADJUSTABLE CLEATED TRIM SYSTEM
  Provides industry-proven line-adjustment when needed. The cleat base has been designed with circular geometry for consistent bar spin. In overpowered conditions the cleat allows you to shorten your front lines and remain in a comfortable body position.
• DURABLE COVERED MAINLINE, WITH CUSTOMIZED TPU TUBING
  Symmetric multibore landing line channel allows the landing line/flying line to pass through without snagging, regardless of the orientation when deploying or reloading. Crafted from a patented material specifically formulated for high abrasion flexible applications.
• ADJUSTABLE LENGTH FLYING LINES 22M (12M + 10M)
  22m lines have a split at 12m, which is far enough for the bar to travel to completely depower our largest kite when you flag out. Remove the standard 10m top section of flying line and 12m lines are ideal for schools to teach with and for foil racing. 8m and 6m line extensions are available as an accessory for wave riding or tighter kiteloops.
• PREMIUM QUICK RELEASE LEASH
  The Navigator Control System is supplied with a premium quality freeride Leash with a high load carabiner, soft neoprene cover and non-abrasive elasticised webbing. The leash QR mechanism has been modified to ensure correct orientation is maintained when released for consistent, safe release and reload.
• INDUSTRY-LEADING 100% DYNEEMA SK99 FLYING LINES
  Strong, thinner profile, pre-stretched flying lines mean less parasitic drag and uncompromised direct performance. With 88m of flying lines in the air, you can really feel the difference thinner line creates. Our latest technology high-load LIROS DC-401 Pro flying lines have extreme stretch resistance and minimal diameter (1.6mm).
• OMNIDIRECTIONAL GRIP WITH OFFSET FINGER BAR AND COLOR-CODED COMPONENTS
  Feel more connected. The Navigator is designed with a comfortable ergonomic grip for a natural grasp and the tactile offset finger bar is slightly oval, so you can feel when the control bar is oriented correctly. The color-coded bar ends, leader tubing and line retainer pull tabs give a nod to our sailing heritage, port (red) and starboard (green).
• DYNEEMA TRIM LINE
  Top-quality German-made extremely high wear Dyneema depower and trim lines, with special impregnation coating for resistance to abrasion.
