A stronger, lighter freeride bar built for dependable control
The North Navigator Gen 2 Control System is the next evolution of North’s entry-level freeride bar — 20% stiffer and lighter than before, with a refined grip and a safer, easier-to-reload quick release. It’s built for riders who want dependable, confidence-inspiring control session after session, without paying for race-level features they don’t need.
A new fiber-filled polymer internal truss increases stiffness while cutting weight, and the updated power bracket smooths out trimming and reduces line wear. Paired with SK75 Liros Dyneema flying lines and a toolless modular loop system, the Navigator Gen 2 delivers a direct, connected feel across the wind range.

Construction
The Navigator Gen 2’s bar body uses a fiber-filled polymer internal truss for a 20% stiffness increase over the previous generation, without adding weight. The Connect V2 Quick Release features a stiffer security finger and single-action reload for fast, reliable safety releases even in demanding conditions. SK75 Liros Dyneema lines run through an updated power bracket that smooths trimming and cuts down on line wear, while the toolless InterLoop system lets you switch between loop styles to match freeride or freestyle riding.
Why We Recommend It
A great everyday freeride bar for riders who want dependable, direct control and genuine safety features without the premium price tag of North’s top-tier bars. The improved grip and smoother trim make it comfortable for long sessions, and the toolless loop swap means it adapts as your riding evolves.
