Embrace the freedom of kiteboarding with the Duotone Trust Bar, a perfect fusion of safety, adaptability, and precision. Designed for all riding styles, this bar empowers you to navigate with confidence and ease. Whether you're exploring new tricks or breaking height records, the Trust Bar ensures that every ride is a safe and thrilling adventure.
The well-known Duotone Trust Bar is engineered to provide kiteboarders with unparalleled control and versatility in a single, dynamic setup. This bar combines innovative safety features with precision steering, allowing riders to confidently navigate their kiteboarding adventures while adapting effortlessly to various conditions.
At the core of the Trust Bar is the advanced Click-In safety system, which ensures a quick and secure locking mechanism. Riders will appreciate the precise steering offered by FLITE99 2.0 lines, enhancing responsiveness for optimal manoeuvrability. Designed for adaptability, this bar features adjustable line lengths and bar widths, meaning it can accommodate a wide range of setups effortlessly. The optional Low-V position makes the Trust Bar compatible with most kite models, including an edition specifically tailored for schools.
A unique frontline depower setup utilises DPL24 as the depower line, which provides a smooth and effective way to control power. The complete depower line setup includes a custom-developed Dyneema depower line with a 24 mesh cover (DPL24) to minimise wear and deliver excellent tactile feedback, a safety bungee line, and a Vario Cleat with an adjustment clip to neatly store depowered lines. Safety is paramount with the inclusion of the Iron Heart VI Click-In safety system, enhancing reliability in critical moments. Thanks to a friction bearing, the bar is easy to untwist during use, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Minimalistic pigtails are constructed to reduce clutter, while FLITE99 2.0 on back lines and FLITE99 2.0+ on front lines contribute to enhanced performance, leveraging a new monofil layout that reduces friction. The frontlines have a thickness of 1.5mm with higher breaking loads, ensuring robust performance. The Trust Bar is equipped with a metal ring as a V-Distributor for easy assembly and disassembly, along with a suicide ring for those seeking a fixed suicide mode. 20% of the EVA bar grip is made from more sustainable Bloom (algae). Available with only 4 lines, it ensures simplicity while maintaining optimal safety.

The Trust Bar is amazing for my big air sessions, especially when I'm pushing for jumps over 20 metres with loops and multiple rotations. The feedback I get during these jumps is unmatched. I can still feel the kite's response as if it's a direct extension of my body. This direct connection gives me the confidence to execute my tricks with precision, knowing exactly how the kite will react. The Trust Bar is an essential part of my performance, allowing me to go full power always!
Tech features
The updated pigtail construction is sleeved only where necessary, featuring a 1.7mm Flite line without monofilament for a super clean setup, taking simplicity to the next level.
The V-distributor features a 12.6mm metal ring, making bar disassembly and reassembly super straightforward while minimising the risk of tangled lines.
Twists the front lines by 90 degrees and allows an optional low V setup.
The moulded EVA floater is fully integrated into the winding posts to offer a seamless connection, which gives better protection to the lines and the rider, avoids line tangling and gives better overall stiffness between the bar and lines. A push pin on the outside of the winding post gives direct feedback to the thumb for easy operation. The Flip-Flop function allows you to switch between a 42 cm and 49 cm bar width with just one click.
The same integrated floater construction on the M/L bar allows you to switch between a 46 cm and 53 cm bar width with just one click, making bar setup changes far simpler.
The Winding Posts are made of a fully moulded fibreglass-reinforced Polyamide construction, an incredibly lightweight solution with increased stiffness, plus moulded EVA cushioning for maximum comfort. They feature an integrated back line adjustment, which allows the rider to trim the rear lines when needed. Attention: never ride without the cover — it prevents the knot of the leader line from slipping out of its housing.
The exchangeable insert for the centre hole is made of plastic to minimise wear on the depower line. The material is resistant to abrasion and, if sand is present, causes much less damage to the line itself.
The Roto Head permits you to untangle the lines after a rotational jump or a kiteloop while you are riding. It is made from an extremely durable plastic construction where no corrosion is possible. The Roto Head comes with two grub screws making it easy and fast to change the depower line, using an FCS fin key.
The Iron Heart VI features a simple Click-In Safety System including an optical control function that allows you to reconnect the chicken loop as easily as you clip in your seat belt, plus being able to check the green marking to ensure the system is closed properly.
The new Monofil Layout for back and front lines guarantees less friction between lines due to a more homogenic surface and less abrasion within the lines.
The FLITE99 2.0 backlines are 1.3mm SK99 lines in blue, with a red monofil on the left side and a black monofil on the right. The 1.3mm lines offer up-to-date performance characteristics whilst ensuring reliability.
The FLITE99 2.0+ frontlines are 1.5mm SK99 lines in grey, with a red monofil on the left side and a black monofil on the right. These lines boast a 20% higher breaking load, enhancing your safety and performance on the water.
The Suicide Ring allows you to set up a Suicide System while keeping the ring and the leash up and out of the way of the Chicken Loop. This increases your ability to quickly hook in and out after Freestyle tricks. This setup is not recommended by Duotone!
The Duotone V-Distributor III can be adjusted easily, allowing you to set the front line to split quickly. It can also be removed entirely, very easily, so you can have a very low V. This makes the Click Bar and Trust Bar compatible with most kites on the market.
