Key Features
Duotone Click Bar
Iron Heart VI Click-In Safety System
The new Iron Heart VI features a simple Click-In Safety System including an optical control function that allows you to reconnect the chicken loop as easily as you clip in your seat belt plus being able to check the green marking, to ensure the system is closed properly.
Precise Back Line Trim
The Click Bar has been designed to give you total control over the trim of the kite - no more pulling and hoping; trim it in precise increments!
FLITE99 Lines
The new FLITE99 lines from Robline reduce the drag through the air and offer a more direct steering response.
Minimalistic Pigtails
The new pigtails have reduced sleeving to only where it is needed. This reduces the weight and the drag through the air at a critical connection point to the kite.
V Distributor III
The new V Distributor III can be adjusted easily, allowing you to set the front line to split quickly. It can also be removed entirely, very easily, so you can have a very low V; this makes the Click Bar compatible with most kites on the market.
4 or 5 Lines
If you have a 5th line kite or want to ride your Duotone kites that are compatible with 5th lines, then there is an upgrade kite allowing you to ride with a 5th line.

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.
Removable Floater
