2027 North Navigator Pro Gen2 Short Thow Control Bar

What North has to say:

Short Throw

The new Navigator Pro 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 Pro, including the Connect V2 Quick Release and highest quality Dyneema SK99 Pro Lines. It is compatible with all Connect V2 Loops.

Features:

• Transformative control and handling for smaller-framed riders
• Within reach - the Trim handle is 10cm closer for comfort and fit
• Pair with kites 12m or under for enough depower in high winds
• Reliable front-line auto-unwind
• Refined for smoother trimming action
• 20% stronger bar construction
• Safe, secure single-action reload Connect V2 QR
• Minimised risk of accidental release and unhooking
• Modular Toolless InterLoop system
• Universally compatible with any kite*
• Nautical colour coding – bold red on port
• ISO-21853 Certified

Materials:

• Highest quality SK99 Dyneema Pro Lines (1.3 / 1.55mm)
• Triple comfort rubberized EVA wear-resistant grip

Tech Specs:

• Auto-unwind - Smooth, reliable front-line auto-untwist and frictionless rotation in all temperatures, with Depower Main Line and Landing Line running inside durable TPU tubes, stacked front to back for one-handed flying.
• Universally compatible with any kite - All Navigators feature a Low-V split compatible with any Low-V bridled kite, and have equal-length connectors for easy swaps. For use with High-V kites, pair with the High-V Split Kit.
• Refined Titanium SS Centrepiece - The stainless-steel centrepiece, featuring a titanium PVD coating, is smooth, strong, and wear-resistant, with a generous geometry that allows for free bar travel and reliable auto-unwind.
• Highest-quality Dyneema Pro Lines - Strong, ultra-low-stretch SK99 Pro Lines reduce drag and deliver a direct response, with 1.55mm front and 1.3mm rear lines to limit shrinkage, plus modular 12+10m split lengths.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Super Comfortable Grip
• 20% stronger and lighter - The lighter the bar, the less inertia it needs to spin. For 2027, a new fiber-filled polymer internal truss keeps it light while boosting strength by 20%.
• 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).
• Smoother trimming action - Proven on-demand adjustment, with updated power bracket for smoother trimming and reduced line wear, and a circular cleat base for consistent bar spin.
