The Ride bar has a new leash ring with an oversized connection hole and a new leash that has been greatly simplified to go along with this particular bar system.
Moving up from the IQR, the Ride bar features dual depower main lines with no PU covering. This has been chosen to allow a length of throw adjustment, without tools, using this industry-standard clam-cleat aerocleat fitting. The uncovered main lines also allow for very quick and cost-effective depower mainline replacements when required. These depower main lines go through a new center fitting made of stainless steel with a much larger cut out for the lines to run through. This allows for much easier articulation and sheeting with these new bars. The Ride bar is a fixed length bar, available in two lengths: 50 centimeters and 60 centimeters.
The Ride bar features new EVA bar ends with a 20 increase in floatation. There’s also much more adjustment available for the rear line leaders under these new EVA bar ends.
The Ride bar also features a new, power bracket, which integrates not only the stopper or the front line and your landing line but also the pulley required for use with the cleat. And finally, there’s a new simplified pull system on the cleat to make this a very simple, very cost-effective solution for a bar.
Simplicity without compromising quality, the Ride Bar is the ideal companion.
An easy to use, new Aero cleat depower system with a tool-less position adjustment allows the bar to be quickly and simply set up for riders with shorter reach.
The durable EVA reinforced bar ends are flexible for an overall better kite response and offers better bar float.
Paired with any 4-line kite, the 24m flying lines, Airush IQR, and one handed release and reset system, the Low-Y on the center lines, allows for a quick single line flag out.

We took the Ride Bar out with the Airush One, both for big air and for a light wind wave session to get the full experience out of the bar. Once the kite was up in the air, it was an enjoyable, comfortable experience.

Simplicity and easily maintainable, the grip is awesome and the chicken loop functionality is great. My only negatives and I know it is a brand thing but for me red is left not teal.
