About this bar

The Shift rethinks trim: the Sidewinder knob at the bar end delivers one centimetre of adjustment per quarter turn and twenty-one centimetres across five rotations — precise, repeatable, under load, no cleat lines flapping. Paired with Ocean Rodeo's Aluula kites it completes one of the sport's most distinctive systems.
