Cabrinha Bar Compatibility Chart

Cabrinha Kite/Bar Compatibility Chart

So, this post doesn't necessarily have any cool videos featuring women in bikinis or Nick Jacobsen running around in a flower thong, but it does have some valuable information for everyone looking for a Cabrinha control bar. We've heard your questions, and we've decided to post Cabrinha's Compatibility Chart here, along with some tidbits about the latest Cabrinha bars.

FAQs about Cabrinha Bars

What is the difference between TrimLite Cleat and Recoil on the 2016 Cabrinha Bars?

TrimLite Cleat allows precise trim adjustment. It's very light in weight as well as design. There is PU tubing throughout the as well as internalized mainline and landing lines, giving you the bare essentials with perfect balance and trim. Recoil is the way to keep your trim adjusters in the same position consistently. Recoil is able to return the trim adjusters to the exact same position, even after you've depowered your kite.
