Navigator Control System - Short Throw 2027

The Navigator Short Throw shortens the bar travel, bringing the Trim handle 10cm closer, and making it easier for smaller riders to reach the bar when fully depowered. We recommend using the Short Throw with 12m and smaller kites to achieve enough depower in high winds. The Navigator Pro Short Throw features the same components and performance benefits as the Navigator, including the Connect V2 Quick Release and Dyneema SK75 Pro Lines. It is compatible with all Connect V2 Loops.

Includes: Short Throw Control Bar, Connect V2 Quick Release with Security Finger, 12+10m Lines (Ø1.8mm), Connect V2 Freeride Loop, Standard Leash

Technology

What makes it work.

Safe Connect V2 QR

Extra-secure single-action reload Quick Release with a stiffer security finger on the QR, plus smaller loop and 20mm extra travel, helps minimise the risk of accidental unhooking or release.

Super Comfortable Grip

The most comfortable bar grip on the market, now with better abrasion resistance. Tactile offset finger bar, so you can feel when the control bar is oriented correctly.

20% stronger and lighter

Borrowing from the Pro Technology, for 2027, a new fiber-filled polymer internal truss keeps the bar light while boosting stiffness by 20%.

100% Dyneema SK75 flying lines

Strong, pre-stretched 1.8mm diameter flying lines for performance longevity. Our industry-standard high-load flying lines are more resistant to shrinkage.

Toolless Modular Loops

The Connect V2 Modular Toolless InterLoop system is compatible with three interchangeable loops: Freeride (included), Freestyle (with a Freestyle Leash Ring), and Surf Slider (rope harness).

Adjustable bar lengths +/-5cm

Fine-tune the turning speed of your kite. Three adjustable sizes 50-55cm (L), 45-50cm (M) and 38-43cm (S). To change your bar length, pull the bar end cassettes out and rotate 180 degrees.

Smoother cleated trim system

Proven on-demand adjustment, with updated power bracket for smoother trimming and reduced line wear, and a circular cleat base for consistent bar spin.

Customisable line length

22m lines have a split at 12m, allowing riders to adjust the lines lengths to their preferences. Remove top 10m lines to customize with 8m, 6m or 2m line extensions.

Spinning leash attachment ring

The oval-shaped leash pin ring is elongated for easier fastening of the leash carabiner, and spins to help prevent your landing line from twisting.
