TOOLLESS INTERLOOP SYSTEM WITH LOCKGUARD
Switch effortlessly between disciplines – no tools required. Simply push, twist, pull, lock and go. Loops are made from optimised TPU material for flex and durability, with a more rigid freeride security finger to prevent unexpected unhooking. Flexible LockGuard safety ring prevents accidental release of your interloop.
SOFT EVA BAR ENDS WITH RETRACTABLE LINE HOLDERS
The positive buoyancy bar ends with integrated line bungees are injection moulded in one piece with no-glue seams for long-lasting quality. Even the highest quality lines shrink over time, so after a month of use, North recommend you check your lines are all even lengths. It’s easy and takes only a minute.
PROTECTIVE PU-COVERED LEADER LINES
To help prevent line abrasion from uncovered lines against your skin, North used colour-coded PU tubing covers. The covers also help them remain more rigid to keep them out of the way when the flying lines aren’t under tension.
ADJUSTABLE CLEAT TRIM SYSTEM
Trimming your kite could not be easier. The above bar system provides an industry-proven front line adjustment when needed. The cleat base has been designed with circular geometry for consistent bar spin.
LIGHTWEIGHT OVER-BAR TRIM HANDLE WITH DYNEEMA LINES
Easy to reach moulded trim handle doesn’t hurt when it hits you. Made from Nylon/EVA for strength with a textured soft-touch grip. Top-quality German-made extremely high wear Dyneema depower and trim line with a special coating for resistance to abrasion.
DURABLE COVERED MAINLINE, WITH CUSTOMISED TPU TUBING
Symmetric multibore flagging line channels allow the flagout line/flying line to pass through without snagging regardless of the orientation of the bar when deploying or reloading. Crafted from a patented material specifically formulated for high abrasion resistance but high flexibility.
CUSTOM LOW-FRICTION SWIVEL
Unspin your front lines easily.
ADJUSTABLE LENGTH FLYING LINES 22M (12M + 10M)
The lines are a standard 22m. The lines have a split at 12m, which is far enough for the bar to travel to completely depower a large kite when you flag out. Remove the standard 10m top section of flying line and 12m lines are ideal for schools to teach with and for foil racing. 8m and 6m line extensions are available as an accessory for wave riding or tighter kiteloops.
KOOK-PROOF FLYING LINE CONNECTORS
Ensure you always set up your flying lines correctly. All four flying lines are the same length so you can easily change the front (knotted end) and rear (lark’s head loop) connectors to match most other manufacturers’ kite configurations. So you can use your North Navigator bar to fly most other brands 4 line kites. Please familiarise yourself with the safety procedures and trimming instructions outlined in your kites user manual.
PREMIUM QUICK RELEASE LEASH
The Navigator Control System is supplied with a premium quality freeride Leash with a high load carabiner, soft neoprene cover and non-abrasive elasticised webbing. The leash QR mechanism has been designed to ensure correct orientation is maintained when released for consistent, safe release and reload/re-connect.
INTUITIVE SINGLE-ACTION RELOAD
Security and performance in all conditions. A patented and ISO-approved Connect Quick Release (QR) raises the bar in kite control system safety. The red QR handle has been ergonomically designed to fit in your hand comfortably for an industry-standard push away release. All loaded or running surfaces feature highly polished marine grade 316 stainless steel and low-friction components. The larger diameter bungee inside the QR helps reduce accidental release.
INDUSTRY-LEADING 100% DYNEEMA SK99 FLYING LINES
Strong, thinner profile, pre-stretched flying lines mean less parasitic aerodynamic drag and uncompromised direct performance. Latest technology high-load LIROS DC-401 Pro flying lines have extreme stretch resistance and narrow diameter (1.6mm).
THREE ADJUSTABLE BAR LENGTH OPTIONS

OMNIDIRECTIONAL GRIP WITH OFFSET FINGER BAR AND COLOUR-CODED COMPONENTS

The colour-coded bar ends, leader tubing and line retainer pull tabs give a nod to Norths sailing heritage with Port (Red) and Starboard (Green) colouring.
SPINNING LEASH ATTACHMENT RING
An oval-shaped leash pin ring is elongated for easier fastening of the leash carabiner, and spins to help prevent your landing line from twisting.
