Flysurfer Connect 2 Control Bar, Like new, just an open box model.
 
The CONNECT2 is a 4-line control bar with single frontline safety system. The bar spar is colour-coded left/right and front/rear and easy to distinguish. The low-weight control bar weighs 0.84 kg (incl. flying lines) and has a tether for a brake line. The flying lines have a total length of 21 m and are equipped with 14 m + 7 m extension from the control bar towards the kite. The front lines can be manually untwisted via a swivel above the SIMPLE Quick Release. The release distance is 3 m and is adapted to the PEAK as well as VIRON product lines. All other kites in the FLYSURFER portfolio require a longer release distance in order to be able to flag out completely. The CONNECT2 Control Bar can be converted to the 5-line B-Safe system, which horizontally collapses the kite before it sinks to the ground without pressure. The length of the depower-way is 45 cm and the length of the adjuster-way is 20 cm. The floaters can be removed as an option, and the steering leader lines underneath have a knot ladder for extending the steering lines.

CONNECT2 VS. CONNECT1

The CONNECT2 Control Bar is delivered as a 4-line with FLS (Frontline Safety System). The FLS end line is coated in blue and equipped with a swivel ball. The leash hardly gets shortened or twisted. This measure prevents the shortening of a single front line, which would result in the kite steering independently to one side. An FLS end line (blue) is included in the scope of delivery instead of the depower rope. The blue FLS end line has a sheath that can be rubbed through after heavy use. In this case the enclosed white line becomes visible. The exchange with the enclosed FLS end line is essential. The conversion from 21 m to 14 m flight line length has been significantly simplified and works like the FORCE and INFINITY Control Bar. To do this, the flight line extensions are loosened, the safety systems FLS and B-Safe are still fully functional. The CONNECT2 now has pigtails to prevent wear on the splice ends on the flying lines.

Choose and fly your kites on 14 m or 21 m flying lines depending on the given conditions. The light control bar guarantees optimal grip and maximum safety during your session.
 
 
LIGHT BAR STICK
The 0.34 kg light Barholm is color-coded with orange (left) and petrol (right). The back can be clearly distinguished from the front with a continuous gray design element. The ergonomically shaped, [M] 50cm long bar is protected by an EVA grip and lies comfortably in the hand. The non-slip surface guarantees optimal grip in wet and cold conditions.
SIMPLE QUICK RELEASE
The compact and reliable SIMPLE Quick Release fulfills the French standard (AFNOR) in terms of safety and release forces in the event of contamination. The compact designed chicken loop with stick secure the connection between the harness hook and the control bar and prevent unintentional unhooking. The handy release cap enables precise and low-resistance activation of the safety system in an emergency. The front lines can be turned out manually using the swivel located above the quick release.
B-SAFE SYSTEM READY
The CONNECT Control Bar has been specially configured for products with the B-Safe system. The 4-line FLS system can be converted to a 5-line system in just a few simple steps. After the release, the control bar slides up to 3 m along the 5th line, gathers the kite together and lets it fall down without generating any power. The B-Safe system requires a high split of the front lines (high Y) and a thin line with little air resistance. The PEAK and VIRON product lines have the B-Safe system.
ADJUST TO THE GIVEN CONDITIONS
Use the adjustment options of the flying lines to adapt the CONNECT Control Bar to the weather conditions or your driving style. Choose between 14 m and 21 m flying line length to increase reactivity or to reduce the wind window. The steering lines can be extended with the help of a knot ladder under the floaters. In order to be easy to use for every body size, the depower travel is exactly 45 cm. The Clam Cleat Adjuster can be used to gain a further 20 cm of depower travel.
 
Our recommendation for kiters who like to travel and start their next adventure. The lightest FLYSURFER Control Bar is a multifunctional control system that meets the highest safety standards. The CONNECT Control Bar can be used with 5 or 4 lines, the release distance is 3 m.

The B-Safe System:
The CONNECT Control Bar has been specially configured for products which make use of our B-Safe system. The system guides the bar up a 5th line which in turn reefs the kite, bringing it down safely. We recommend this safety system for the PEAK4 and VIRON3 product line.
Can the CONNECT Control Bar be used with SOUL or SONIC or other FLYSURFER products?
Due to the 3 m long release path, SOUL, SONIC, STOKE, BOOST, VMG cannot be flown with the CONNECT Control Bar! In an emergency the kite cannot flag out after activating the safety system and still generats a strong pull. Its use is life-threatening! The CONNECT Control Bar can only be used with PEAK and VIRON!
Is the B-Safe system still usable if I shorten the flying lines of the CONNECT control bar?
Yes, the B-Safe system is fully functional with 14m lines, we recommend this length for training / school / strong winds.
Is the B-Safe system available for other FLYSURFER kites?
No, the B-Safe system is not available for the SOUL, SONIC, STOKE, BOOST and VMG product lines.
Can the B-Safe system be used to land kites?
Yes, the B-Safe system is ideal for the controlled landing of kites.
Why was the high Y chosen for this control bar?
The CONNECT control bar has been designed for low to medium aspect ratio kites and the high split (Y) of the front lines improves the bar feedback.
Is the CONNECT Control Bar also available as a 4-line setup?
No, the CONNECT system will only be available as a 5-line setup.
Is there a Chicken Loop for slider harnesses?
No, the SIMPLE Quick Release is only available in the current edition. Using a harness with a slider rope will damage the chicken loop. The right to complain is not applicable!
Kann ich die Snowkite Breakline für meine CONNECT1 nachrüsten?
Yes, it is possible to retrofit the Snowkite Breakline. Please order the Steering Leader Line Set CONNECT2 in the online shop and replace the lines yourself.
