Design details
SENSORY PERFECTION AND PRECISION IN A NEW DIMENSION
SIZE: 46.5-50cm bar with 24m lines
Based on the same great achievements of the Sensor 4 Bar it has been raised to a new level in terms of safety, functionality and versatility. However, with its high-tech features such as the carbon bar and the Tectanium 2 Vario Lines, it goes a big step further.
Tested and certified by the IKO, the Sensor 4 can also be used to fly fixed-bridled kites such as the Pace Pro for the first time, as the all-new SFS+ ensures complete blowing out on just one frontline. And of course, it is also fully compatible with all other CORE models as well as many other kites on the market.
For the first time, it is possible to switch between a high V and a low V (or Y) in a matter of seconds. While all CORE kites are optimized for a high V, a deep V offers advantages for radical action with short lines under 20 meters.
With SFS+ and High/Low-V-Line Split, the Sensor 4 becomes more versatile and can be universally combined with many kites on the market.
Bar comes with:
24m Tectanium 2 Vario lines (18+4+2m), standard loop/stick set, 50cm/46,5 cm or 45/41,5 cm bar, Short Safety Leash, barbag & manual
Tech specs
100% SINGLE FRONTLINE SAFETY (SFS+)
THE UNIVERSAL SAFETY FOR FIXED AND PULLEY BRIDLED KITES
The Sensor 4 Bar has received an IKO tested SFS+ Safety. When the Quick Release is activated, the bar moves immediately to the kite with both backlines and a frontline. The kite blows out without pressure on only one front line (safety line) without any residual pull. This safety is suitable for fixed bridled kites such as the Pace Pro as well as pulley bridled kites (all other CORE kite models). In combination with our 4:1 adjuster, this is one of the safest safety systems on the market.
HIGH V OR LOW V LINE SPLIT
FOR EVEN MORE ADJUSTABILITY TO YOUR PREFERENCES
The Sensor 4 Bar offers the possibility to switch between a low V and a high V (or Y). While all CORE kites are optimized for a high V, a deep V offers advantages for radical action with short lines from 12 meters and can be combined with many kites on the market. We recommend flying all CORE models with a high V.
UNIVERSAL PIGTAILS
TUNE YOUR BAR TO LENGTH
Any Sensor Bar connoisseur will notice it immediately. The Sensor 4 Bar has universal pigtails. This not only makes it easier to cut your bar to length, but also connects it to many other kites on the market.
AUTO UNTWIST
ALWAYS PERFECTLY UNTWISTED LINES
Often copied, but never equaled. The Auto Untwist of the Sensor 4 ensures that you always have perfectly sorted front lines. Thanks to the extremely low-friction and low-wear ceramic ball bearing below the Quick Release, the Sensor 4 Bar always unscrews the lines immediately. Without any action on the part of the rider. The result: optimal power flows in every situation and outstanding durability in salt water and sand.
4:1 ADJUSTER
LITTLE EFFORT – BIG EFFECT
The force required to operate the adjuster is quartered by sophisticated deflections, allowing for smooth, precise angle adjustments with minimal effort, even in the strongest winds. The integrated elastic band automatically shortens the adjuster rope for added convenience.
STEALTH WINDERS
HARMONIOUS TRANSITIONS WITH FLIGHT AND STORAGE FUNCTIONS
The hinged winders offer a flight and a storage option. After the lines have been unwound from the bar, the winders can be easily folded in for flight mode. Smooth transitions without hard edges.
BAR WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
QUICK ADJUSTABILITY PER KITE SIZE
The bar width of the Sensor 4 can be adjusted between 50 cm / 46.5 cm with a click of the finger. This is made possible by the rotatable control line suspension hidden in the bar ends. In this way, you can optimally adapt your Sensor 4 Pro to the entire size range.
TECTANIUM® 2 VARIO LINES
THIN AND YET BRUTALLY STRONG.
For the flying and control lines, the Sensor 4 Pro Bar uses the high-tech material Tectanium® 2, which has been developed exclusively for CORE, for even higher abrasion resistance and durability. The silver line set is thinner and lighter than the standard line, but still achieves a breaking load that is around 50 percent higher. Above all, the fourfold higher stretch resistance ensures an unrivalled precise and direct control and flight feel.
The variable line set has a basic length of 18 meters and has line extensions in two- and four-meters length. Depending on preference or area of use, it is possible to switch between line lengths of 18, 20, 22 and 24 meters in just a few simple steps.
CIC QUICK RELEASE
RELIABLY RELEASED, QUICKLY ASSEMBLED
The ISO-compliant CORE Intuitive-Connect QR is designed to work effectively even in the most critical situations and can be intuitively released under load as well as with sagging lines. The QR body is made of carbon-fiber-reinforced high-performance plastic and V4A steel at its core. The revised cap of the QR offers a good grip without the risk of accidentally getting caught with the wetsuit. After a trigger, the system is ready for use again in a flash with just one click. The revised locking mechanism with green marking line for easier control prevents false triggering due to loops that are not clicked in correctly.
To attach your Safety Leash, the Sensor 4 is delivered with the Triple Ring. This makes it possible to hook two leashes at the same time when the kite is handed over.
GRIPLOC 2
EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL
The new EVA base is both more abrasion-resistant and more comfortable and durable. It ensures a non-slip, comfortable hold at the bar. Thanks to the calming color scheme and a red line on the back, the correct position of the bar can be seen at first glance at any time.
CARBON SOUL
ULTRA STABLE AND DIRECT
Thanks to the use of a carbon fiber composite, the handlebar of the Sensor 4 Pro Bar is incredibly light, but at the same time extremely stiff, which is noticeable in the form of an unprecedentedly direct steering feel. Kitesurfing has never been more precise!
TITANIUM CORE
LIGHT AS A FEATHER AND ULTRA-STRONG
The titanium carrier in the handlebar ensures extreme rigidity and a particularly crisp flight feeling. In addition to a significant increase in breaking load, it enables double line guidance in the center with interchangeable inserts.
SENSOR 4 PRO COMPACT
FOR SMALL KITES AND BIG WAKESTYLE
The Sensor 4 Pro Bar in the Compact version has a shorter bar with a width of 45 cm. The rotatable control line suspension hidden in the bar ends allows the width of the bar to be reduced again to 41.5cm. With two advantages: smaller kites can be controlled more precisely when wave kiting, for example, and larger gliders can be taxed less easily by freestylers.
SHORT SAFETY LEASH
EXTRA SHORT IS EXTRA SAFE
All CORE bars are supplied with the ISO-compliant Short Safety Leash as standard. At only 55 centimeters, it is pleasantly short, yet elastic for comfortable hooking, and guarantees that the release mechanism is always within easy reach of the rider's field of vision at the front of the harness. If you want to ride unhooked, you can alternatively combine the longer CORE Pro Leash with the Sensor 4 Pro Bar.
FREE FLOATER
BETTER STEERING. ALWAYS IN REACH
The floaters are positioned a few centimeters above the bar, unattached, providing a unique, smooth, and dynamic sensor control experience. Their new shape enhances the bar's floatability with increased volume. An inner grip surface ensures an intuitive and direct hold for easier kite relaunching. Additionally, the line above the floater is encased in a tube to maintain optimal positioning even without tension.
SPLICED ENDS
STRENGTH IN THE DETAILS
A special detail of the sensor lines are the spliced line ends. They are not simply secured by parallel seams but are elaborately spliced before sewing. This guarantees higher strength and more favorable aerodynamics – laying out the lines is also smoother.
REPLACEABLE WEAR INSERTS
REPLACEMENT MADE EASY
In the middle of the bar, the depower lines run from an insert with double channel guide through the spar in an orderly manner. The special material acts like lubricant on the coated linen. In the event of wear, the insert can be easily replaced.
MULTIBAG
MORE THAN JUST A BAG
The foldable CORE Multibag offers optimal protection for your Sensor 4 Pro Bar when traveling or on the way to the spot. Several compartments offer space for accessories such as line extensions or an exchange loop. The mesh insert on the back ensures good ventilation.
HIGH-QUALITY RAW MATERIALS
THE DNA OF THE SENSOR-FEELING
A bar is only as good as the quality of its individual parts. This is exactly why we rely on high-performance polymers made in Germany for all components. Extreme stiffness, low frictional resistance and excellent dimensional stability are the hallmarks of these high-performance plastics.
Titanium has a similar resilience to steel, but at the same time is much lighter and corrosion resistant. That's exactly why the core of the Barholm, as well as some other parts, is made of this high-tech material. Marine Grade A4 stainless steel is used for the metal components, the ultimate in maritime applications.
