This new bar looks sick, deserves it's own thread. The industrial designer who helped OR is apparently well respected. Wonder how it will price out?

Current design is a relatively high Y to allow maximum options for the sliding stopper ball. However, plans include a later release of a low Y option, this will be popular with schools, etc.windybrit wrote:Looks most interesting...

1, High or Low Y ?
2. Safety line runs inside the centre PU tube ?
I thought OR kites needed low Y, like the newish Control bar. Why is a low Y good for schools? Thought low was Y becoming the most common throughout the industry as single front line flagging and below the bar swivel have become.??ORSales wrote:Current design is a relatively high Y to allow maximum options for the sliding stopper ball.
