Wow, I can't believe the negative comments you are getting. So unnecessary! Personally I loved your video, especially as there seems to be very few recent videos on the click bar. Thank you, I have subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for watching. I think people are trying to take the video for more then what it is. Everyone has their opinions and that's fine. I appreciate the kind words.
What really bothers me is that it's clear you don't have any idea of how you untwist the center lines on "normal" bars, or in your case of your old bars, which is actually really simple and also a safety feature. Because of that it's clear that you're not suited to give any advice on whether tech or features are good or not and therefore I am not sure why you would advertise or put your knowledge out there for people to be consumed without being anything but an expert of the things you're talking about. I can't say you should stop what you're doing but please state at the beginning of the video that you're everything but an expert for kiting and you should definitely not give advice to buy things. This can really mislead people. Thank you
@@AdventureRig I hope this was a sarcastic answer as it is definitely deserved. You made it absolutely clear in the video that you have Plenty of kitesurfing experience relevant to the product you are reviewing.
Hi! Cool that you're making a review but consider that it's heavily biased. You're comparing a brand new, €730 bar (for which you have to pay €90 separately if you want your chicken loop) with old used bars from almost 10 years ago. For the review to be fair you would have to compare it to new equipment from other brands or just not mention them, especially since most of them (including ocean rodeo, with their stick shift bar) offer similar features. This also does not consider duotones issues with lines and durability. I think these are issues that should be adressed in the review!
Thanks for watching Arty. I've heard of problems with lines but it's my understanding they have resolved those? This is just a review of my personal experience with this equipment and will hopefully help others who are new to the sport. Your points are valid, this is my own experience. I'm happy to update this if issues arise in the future or people can always comment and ask for a long term update.
@@AdventureRig yes of course! The format is great and it would be cool to see more reviews in this style if you manage to get your hands on more gear. It was just about being fair to other brands as this might give viewers the impression that duotone is leaps ahead everyone else! (they make great kites let's be clear, the evo is one of my favourites but they do come at a premium and with less than ideal durability)
@artyfly100 Wind your neck in pal. It's a very good video on a bar that not many people have covered and I found it very helpful. Maybe in the interest of reviews being fair "you" should have mentioned in "your" comment that the Ocean Rodeo Stick Shift bar is also in the $700 range, has significant differences, arguably less tech advancements and in my opinion looks straight up weird.
Which is completely relevant! No one wants a new video about a 4 year old bar system, there are tons of those on youtube. Plus 99% of bar systems are pretty much identical in features (except for Cabrinha's Fireball). The Click Bar is clearly in a league of its own, loaded with tech the other bars just don't have. Every kiter I've ever met that owns a Click Bar have all said the same thing, they Absolutely Love Them and would never go back to a regular bar. Ok the Price tag does prevent an barrier and it's the reason I opted for a North Trust bar 2 years ago, problem is I immediately regretted buying the Trust bar. Is the Click Bar expensive, Yes. Is the Click Bar worth the price, It would seem so and I've just ordered one!

Thanks for watching Hannes. I'll make sure to publish a warning about my lack of competence at the beginning of the video.

What a load of BS!

comparing apples with oranges..... "old gear" vs. 600 USD 2025 gear.
Just stating why I like this bar so much. Thanks for watching.
