Duotone Kite Control Bars – Click Bar & Trust Bar Quad Control 2027

Duotone kite control bars from the UK's Duotone specialist: the Duotone Click Bar Quad Control 2027 and Trust Bar Quad Control 2027, plus the quick release kits, chicken loops and safety leashes you need to go with them. We ride these bars every week off Worthing beach, so we can tell you exactly which bar, size and line length suits you.

Duotone Click Bar Quad Control 2027 – our favourite bar

The Duotone Click Bar is unique to Duotone. The patented depower and trim system is built inside the bar itself, so there's no overhead depower cleat and no loose trim line swinging in front of you. Push the button to add or take away power in precise clicks without letting go of the bar. It's smooth, tidy and incredibly easy to use, which is why it suits everyone from beginners right up to high-performance freeriders. The Click-In safety system resets in seconds after a release.

• Click Bar Small (42cm wide, 20-22m lines): for kites up to around 6m, lighter riders and wave riders on small kites.
• Click Bar Medium (49cm wide, 22-24m or 12-24m lines): for kites from around 7m upwards. This is the one most riders need.

New for 2027: the front line stopper ball is gone, the Low V-Distributor now comes in the box, and there's a new colourway.

Duotone Trust Bar Quad Control 2027 – the big air choice

The Duotone Trust Bar uses a traditional depower line through the centre of the bar. Some big air riders prefer it because the bar rotates very freely: if you're throwing multiple kite loops, the centre line runs without anything to snag on. It's also the lower-priced bar, so it's a great choice if budget matters.

• Trust Bar Small-Medium (flips between 42 and 49cm, 22-24m or 12-24m lines): the right bar for almost everyone, from small kites right up to 13-14m.
• Trust Bar Medium-Large (22-24m lines only): for specific uses. A longer bar turns the kite faster, so it suits dedicated big air riders doing mega loops, and riders flying very big kites in very light wind or kite foiling, where you need to turn an underpowered kite.

New for 2027: a black DPL24 depower line and extra front line pigtails for finer trim.

Which line length?

Almost everyone should choose 22-24m lines (or 20-22m on the Click Bar Small). The 12-24m option adds short lines for kite schools, technical big air and kite foiling, when you want the kite closer to you.

Don't forget your quick release kit

Neither the Click Bar nor the Trust Bar comes with a chicken loop or chicken dig. You need to add a Duotone Quick Release Kit to your order: Freeride, Freestyle, Wakestyle, Rope Harness or the new Combi Kit, which pairs the larger chicken loop with a short front-facing safety leash. You can also buy a chicken loop (Small 16.5cm or Large 24cm) and chicken dig separately, but the sizes must match: a Small dig with a Small loop, a Large dig with a Large loop.

Sam's tip

If you're not sure, go for the Click Bar Medium with 22-24m lines, and add a Freeride Quick Release Kit. If you ride smaller kites or you're lighter, take the Small.
