Global Bar

A completely redesigned, now fully automatic chicken loop headlines the Y30 Global Bar, joined by a thinner ergonomic grip, an oversized CNC-aluminium centerpiece that smooths depower travel across all steering angles, and a thicker 12 mm power-rope tube for durability.

RRD's sixth generation Global Bar keeps the one bar for the whole range formula but simplifies the hardware. A rotating chicken loop head untwists the front lines on its own, the depower rope and safety line run inside a protected dual chamber tube instead of dangling loose, and an elastic bungee lets you take up the slack trim rope so it stops flapping around. Rigid Thread flying lines cut stretch by 85% compared to a standard line, so trim holds through a session.

One bar replaced the three separate control systems RRD sold the season before, so every kite in the range flew on the same familiar hardware. Carbon side tubes and a polished aluminum center block keep the depower rope running smoothly.
