AGAIN ONE STEP AHEAD
Check video HERE!
Still one step ahead, the fifth edition of our tried and tested 5th Element Bar is possibly the most effective and trustworthy safety system on the market.
Iron Heart III
The Iron Heart III requires minimal release forces and is not affected
by harsh sand and saltwater conditions. The double de-power line in
combination with the Sliding Stopper and Stopper Ball ensures that the
bar is always where you want it to be in all situations. Our small,
lightweight Vario Cleat allows you to quickly and easily adjust it to
your desired de-power stroke while the system automatically trims your
lines to the perfect length. If the dangling trim line has ever
interfered with your flow in the past, you can now forget about it
focus on your riding: Simply Velcro the dangling portion to the stopper
ball so it’s never in your way. The Micro Loop is no longer an
integrated feature, but for those who like the comfort of riding with
fixed power, the system can quickly and easily be fitted.
Riders
of all skill levels, from newcomers to pros, will benefit from the
simplicity and functionality of the new 5th Element Bar Trust Bar and
Iron Heart III.
The light design also facilitates fast and easy reassembling.
New features 2010:
- Roto Head
- two safety modes (standard and suicide mode) - auto positioning
- Flip Flop chicken dick
Standart safety Mode
Delivered with every bar, you have the choice between the standard safety mode and an easy adjustable suicide mode. Attention, just the freeride modus delivers the 100% safety solution! Only experienced riders with special needs should use this option. We recommend to always use the standard safety mode. Riders using the suicide mode must be aware of the consequences and are responsible for occurring damages!
Suicide safety Mode
Delivered with every bar, you have the choice between the standard safety mode and an easy adjustable suicide mode. Attention, just the freeride modus delivers the 100% safety solution! Only experienced riders with special needs should use this option. We recommend to always use the standard safety mode. Riders using the suicide mode must be aware of the consequences and are responsible for occurring damages!
French Norm 2010
For the 2010 bars, we insisted on applying the French norm, just like every year. This means that a public institution must test various requirements to t two systems of the bar under preset conditions:
- The quick release system of the bar (Iron Heart) and
- The quick release that separates the rider completely from the kite (safety leash)
Both safety systems are tested in various media, the release force must not exceed 100N (9.8Kg). The actual release process of both systems must not exceed 0.5sec. The transition from riding position to release (reaching for the Iron Heart or safety leash from riding position with both hands on the bar) must not exceed 2sec.
Other requirements:
The grips of the release system must be red and the direction of release must be indicated. The release grips must be easy to reach.
Furthermore, the Iron Heart must resist a load of 300kg without deformation and without losing functionality. The same applies to the safety leash with a load of 150kg.
The system is tested in the worst sandy and salty conditions.
Still lots of actual systems on the market are not able to reach this norm!
Flip Flop Chicken Dick
The Flip Flop Chicken Dick is moveable into two positions with a digital on/off modus.
Roto Head
After spins, the Roto Head offers you a simple and free backrotation of
the lines. This ensures to have a constant safety function in all
situations. This invention again makes kiting a little bit more
comfortable and safe.
Auto Positioning
Due to its ergonomic design, the Iron Heart III can be easily hooked in
after unhooked tricks. Low friction and a high quality metal hole
complete the perfect picture.
