Tough Bar

Ventum's standard control bar, sold in 45, 50 and 55 cm widths on one 22.5 m line set measured from the quick release to the pigtails. A stainless steel bar center and a PU covered depower line target the usual wear points, trim runs on a cleat above the bar, and the seatbelt quick release carries a ceramic ball bearing so the front lines untwist easily after a rotation. Lines are 1.6 mm SK76 rated at 450 kg, and the first 8 m of the front lines can be replaced on their own. Front pigtails end in loops, back pigtails in knots. The low V splitter is standard; a high Y adapter and 2 or 4 m extensions are sold separately.

The third Tough Bar, sold in 45 and 51 cm widths on one 22.5 m line set, with 2.5 m and 4 m extensions and a high Y adapter offered separately. Front and back lines are now the same 1.6 mm Dyneema rated 450 kg, supplied by BraidTech in the Netherlands and coated against shrinkage, and the pigtails became adjustable so the four line lengths can be trimmed against each other. The bar also gained an NFC tag in the bar end, which a phone reads to identify the bar and, if the owner registers it, to show that it was reported lost. The rest carries over from the V2: stainless steel bar center, PU covered depower line, seatbelt quick release with a ceramic ball bearing, low V splitter and single frontline safety, with front pigtails ending in loops and back pigtails in knots.

The second Tough Bar, sold in three combinations: 45 cm on 23 m lines, 51 cm on 23 m and 51 cm on 25 m. A stainless steel bar center and a PU covered depower line target the usual wear points, and the seatbelt quick release carries a ceramic ball bearing so the front lines untwist after a rotation. Lines come from Teufelberger in Austria and are spliced at both ends: 1.8 mm front lines rated 510 kg, 1.6 mm back lines rated 460 kg. Front pigtails end in loops, back pigtails in knots, red on the left and blue on the right. The splitter is a low V with single frontline safety.
