Recommended for all Duotone kites

The Duotone Click Bar is back with a few pivotal upgrades for 2026 that makes it an incredibly intuitive, performance-packed system. This year's updates include a new monofil layout that reduces friction, plus upgraded FLITE99 2.0+ front lines (1.5mm) and FLITE99 2.0 back lines (1.3mm) for added strength and responsive steering. The adjustable line length and optional low-V setup make it compatible with nearly every kite brand, letting you have flexibility across riding styles.

What's the difference between the Click Bar and Trust Bar?

Both the Click Bar and Trust Bar are good options when choosing your next control system. They share Duotone's high-end safety and line technology, including the Iron Heart VI Click-In system and upgraded FLITE99 2.0/2.0+ lines. They're also compatible with a majority of kites thanks to their optional low-V positioning. While they share so many features, there are a few distinct differences:

• Trim & Power Control: The Click Bar has a unique backline trim system for precise adjustments while the Trust Bar uses a traditional front-line depower cleat system.
• Line setup: Both models have adjustable line lengths, but the Click Bar has an optional 5th line upgrade while the Trust Bar is only available as a 4-line setup.

So, if you're looking for a more versatile system with technical adjustments that let you home-in on your riding, consider the Click Bar. If you're interested in a more classic feel at a lower price point, go with the Trust Bar.

At the forefront of the Click Bar 2026 is the Click-In safety system, which allows riders to quickly and securely lock their loop, enhancing safety while riding. Coupled with a precise backline trim, this feature enables precise adjustments for optimized performance tailored to varying conditions.

The adjustable line length adds versatility, catering to personal preferences and adapting to different riding styles.

Safety remains paramount with the inclusion of the Iron Heart VI Click-In safety system and an automatic untwisting mechanism that simplifies the experience after rotations or loops.
