Navigator Short Throw
Control System with Connect V2
*Not compatible with Navigator Pro Accessories.
The Navigator Short Throw shortens the bar travel, bringing the Trim handle 10cm closer, and making it easier for smaller riders to reach the bar when fully depowered. We recommend using the Short Throw with 12m and smaller kites to achieve enough depower in high winds. The Navigator Pro Short Throw features the same components and performance benefits as the Navigator, including the Connect V2 Quick Release and Dyneema SK75 Pro Lines. It is compatible with all Connect V2 Loops.
FEATURES:
•Transformative control and handling for smaller-framed riders
•Within reach - the Trim handle is 10cm closer for comfort and fit
•Extra secure single-action reload Connect V2 Quick Release
•Reduced risk of accidental unhooking or release
•Effortless manual unwind
•Pro-technology 20% stronger, lighter bar construction
•Pair with kites 12m or under for enough de-power in high winds
MATERIALS:
•SK75 Liros Dyneema Lines
•Triple comfort rubberized EVA wear-resistant grip

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. North's latest technology high-load LIROS DC-401 Pro flying lines have extreme stretch resistance and minimal diameter (1.6mm).
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.
OMNIDIRECTIONAL GRIP WITH OFFSET FINGER BAR AND COLOUR-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 orientated correctly. The colour-coded bar ends, leader tubing and line retainer pull tabs give a nod to our sailing heritage, port (red) and starboard (green).
SPINNING LEASH ATTACHMENT RING
North's oval-shaped leash pin ring is elongated for easier fastening of the leash carabiner, and spins to help prevent your landing line from twisting.
DYNEEMA TRIM LINE
Top-quality German-made extremely high wear Dyneema depower and trim lines, with special impregnation coating for resistance to abrasion.
Keep in mind this bar comes with 22m lines, would you like North Line Extensions?
