North’s premium control bar — auto-unwind, ultra-direct, built to last
The North Navigator Pro Gen 2 Control System is the top-tier evolution of North’s control bar range, built for riders who want the most direct, refined feel on the water. It’s 20% stronger and lighter than the previous generation, with an auto-unwinding front-line system, a titanium PVD-coated stainless steel centerpiece, and premium SK99 Dyneema Pro lines that cut drag and sharpen response.
A rubberised EVA grip delivers triple the comfort of a standard bar grip and holds up in all temperatures, while the refined Connect V2 Quick Release adds a stiffer security finger for extra peace of mind. Universal Low-V split compatibility means it works with any Low-V bridled kite, making the Navigator Pro Gen 2 a genuine one-bar quiver for serious riders.
