Cabrinha 1X Control Bar 2016 with Trimlite
IN A NUTSHELL...
The 2016 1X Control System is Cabrinha's ultra light weight, fixed length control system. The non-adjustable control bar features the QuickLoop opening harness loop and utilises Cabrinha's all new TrimLight cleat system.
Design details
The Carbinha QuickLoop’s safe and simple activation of single line flagging makes it possible to kill the power of the kite so it will rest motionless on the water or land. The TrimLite Cleat is a light weight, simple trim system, that uses a 2:1 purchase to give your kite the perfect balance and trim to match the changing wind conditions.

OVERALL FEATURES
 |
Internalized Lines The protective PU tube allows us to run the depower mainline and the 1X landing line through the center of the bar without the risk of abrasion or tangling. |
 |
Low V Cabrinha have lowered the front line connection to the CAS in order to provide a more direct and immediate response from your bar input. |
 |
1X Security System The 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite whether it be on land or water in all wind conditions. |
 |
Depower on Demand Cabrinha introduced Depower on Demand in 2005 along with our revolutionary Crossbow kite. Even today, every Cabrinha kite (except the Chaos) incorporates Depower on Demand as the default method to precisely control the power of a kite. |
 |
Ergonomic Floating Bar Ends The EVA ends are buoyant enough to float the entire control system with lines attached. The tips have Flex grooves which aid in bending the tips while winding your lines onto the bar or while steering your kite. |

QUICKLOOP
QuickLoop is an opening harness loop connection designed to work specifically with Cabrinha's 1X single line flagging system. Its defining feature is its ridiculously simple operation. When you activate the 1X’s single line flagging system, the power of your kite is immediately killed and will rest motionless on the water or land.
The main quick release (QR) is a push away release with a catch that holds the QR in the released position until you are ready to reconnect. To reconnect, simply push the open end of the loop into place, and the latch will automatically engage the loop. Dropping the QR body back down secures the loop back into place.
 |
Centralized flagging line connection point Ensures a tangle free leash during rotations. Swiveling connection also helps to avoid flagging line twists. |
 |
Multi bore tubing protection system Dual chamber PU tubing houses and protects the 1X security line and the depower mainline. |
 |
Spinning handle Ultimate control for unwinding front line twists. Indexed top piece allows advanced riders to easily hook back in without removing their hands from the bar. |
 |
Push away quick release Industry standard QR system gives full confidence for reliable activation in all conditions. |
 |
Removable centralized security pin |
 |
Comprehensive safety New safety feature allows for QR1 activation even with bar fully sheeted in. |
