About this bar

The AP Bar was Airush's redefined control system: a deliberately short 40 cm bar to keep the kite steady, five lines for the Razor and its kin, a grip compound built not to wear off and a cleat trim anyone can operate. It does the essentials excellently and skips the gimmicks. Airush pulled the product page during 2025; the V5 and V6 are 2019–2022 bars.
