Cabrinha 2026 Unify Control Bar and Line System

Confidence at Your Fingertips

The Cabrinha Unify Control System represents the next evolution in kite control technology—a streamlined, high-performance bar that blends safety, comfort, and precision into one cohesive system. Designed for riders who demand both simplicity and innovation, the Unify marks Cabrinha’s most refined bar to date, setting a new standard for intuitive control and long-term reliability.

A Legacy of Innovation

For years, Cabrinha has been at the forefront of kiteboarding technology, continually refining the connection between riders and their kites. Following the success of the C.O.S. (Cabrinha Operating System), the Unify Control System introduces a new level of refinement and user confidence. Its design is lighter, more ergonomic, and engineered to meet the demands of modern kiteboarding—whether you’re boosting big airs, carving waves, or cruising in light wind.

Cabrinha’s tagline, “Confidence at your Fingertips,” sums it up perfectly. Every component, from the grip texture to the quick-release mechanism, has been engineered for seamless interaction between rider and kite.

Key Features

Click-In Quick Release System

The heart of the Unify is its click-in, quick-release, an industry-proven safety system trusted worldwide. It combines immediate release with effortless reassembly. Riders can re-engage the system simply by pushing the loop back into place, eliminating the need for fumbling or force.

Dual PU-Coated Tubes and Auto Unwind

A hallmark of Cabrinha’s design is its auto-unwind function, powered by dual PU-coated tubes and high-performance ceramic bearings. These components allow your lines to automatically untwist after rotations or loops, maintaining control line symmetry and reducing wear—perfect for riders who push their kite through spins and advanced maneuvers.

Lightweight Trimlite Cleat System

The Trimlite cleat, featuring a CLAMCLEAT® CL211 anodized cleat, offers micro-precise trimming for power adjustments. Lightweight yet strong, this system makes depowering your kite smooth and controlled even in gusty conditions.

Low-V Geometry with Optional Hi-V Setup

The Low-V connection provides a direct steering feel, enhancing response and stability. For riders who prefer a quicker, more pivotal turning kite, Cabrinha includes an optional Hi-V setup, allowing you to fine-tune your bar for your riding style.

Ergonomic Grip and Bar Design

Cabrinha has rethought bar comfort with a reduced-diameter EVA grip featuring pressed textures and an asymmetric design. This combination provides exceptional comfort, enhanced traction, and reduced hand fatigue during extended sessions. The injection-molded EVA bar ends add durability while remaining soft enough to minimize impact in crashes.

Technical Specifications

• 22 m lines + 2 m extensions for tuning line length to riding conditions
• Stainless steel dual-chambered bar center for strength and longevity
• Full ceramic bearings for frictionless performance in saltwater environments
