Focus On What Matters: Simple – Functional – Reliable – Durable – Safe

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!

In addition to the new features, the RRD Global Bar Y30 is still equipped with special lines called “RIGID THREAD LINES”. These have been used exclusively on RRD bars with great success for over 13 years now. A product that’s now widely tested around the world, yet little is known by kiteboarders about the details of its uniqueness. A pro rider will choose our rigid thread lines over any flying lines on the market. They simply DO NOT STRETCH!!! All our lines are produced and developed in Italy, with a worldwide patent granted only to RRD. The Rigid Thread Linesare the result of collaboration with an Italian manufacturing company that has over fifty years of experience in processing lines and ropes, using the most recent and innovative exotic fibers, combined with an intimate knowledge of the physical and mechanical properties of Dyneema.

What’s New?

  • The PU tube protecting the power rope has been enlarged to 12 mm for increased durability and smoother movement.
  • The chicken loop has been completely redesigned—it is now fully automatic for enhanced ease of use and safety.
  • The new grip is thinner, and its ergonomic design has been carefully studied to ensure the best possible grip and perfect comfort during even the longest sessions. Whether you're riding in winter or summer, the grip will always deliver the ultimate performance.

 The RRD Global Bar Y30 combines cutting-edge technology, premium materials, and a focus on reliability to offer the best riding experience possible.

    Features

    • A COMPLETELY RE-DESIGNED BAR SYSTEM BASED ON THE SAME PRINCIPLE OF ITS PREDECESSORS: SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION. ONLY SIMPLICITY WORKS AND LASTS IN THE WATER.
    • INTRODUCTION OF A VIBRANT NEW COLOR SCHEME TO ENHANCE SAFETY, VISUAL APPEAL AND BRAND IDENTITY.
    • REDESIGNED CENTRAL HOLE IN OVERSIZED CNC ALUMINUM TO OPTIMIZE BAR MOVEMENT ACROSS ALL ANGLES, ENSURING A SMOOTH OPERATION.
    • INTEGRATION OF AN OVERSIZED 12MM PU TUBE DIAMETER TO ENHANCE DE-POWER SPECTRA ROPE PROTECTION AND SAFETY LINE INTEGRITY.
    • INTRODUCTION OF AN INNOVATIVE CHICKENLOOP FEATURING A SIMPLIFIED RELEASED SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED EFFICIENCY.

    GLOBAL BAR TECHNOLOGY: SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION!

    Focus on what matters: simple – functional– reliable- durable – safe

    NEW PU POWER ROPE

    The PU tube protecting the power rope has been enlarged to 12 mm, ensuring greater durability and smoother movement in all conditions.

    AUTOMATIC CHICKEN LOOP

    The completely redesigned chicken loop is now fully automatic, providing enhanced ease of use and maximum safety for every rider.

     ERGONOMIC & COMFORTABLE GRIP

    The new thinner grip has been meticulously designed for optimal ergonomics, delivering the best possible hold and perfect comfort.

    ALUMINIUM CENTER CONNECTION

    Made with CNC-milled and polished aluminum, the center bar piece features an oversized oval hole to enhance de-power tube sliding, ensuring smooth performance even during extreme steering.

    NEW STAINLESS STEEL DE-POWER ROPE CLEAT

    New custom design stainless steel de-power rope cleat conceived around the double chamber tube, allowing the security line to slide freely.

    RIGID THREAD LINES

    EQUIPPED WITH THE LEGENDARY RIGID THREAD LINES

    In addition to the new features, the ‘RRD Global Bar Y27’ is still equipped with special lines called “RIGID THREAD LINES”. These are used exclusively on the RRD bars with great success for over 9 years now. A product that’s now widely tested around the world, but there is little known about the details of its uniqueness by kiteboarders. A pro rider will choose our rigid thread lines over any flying lines in the market.. They simply DO NOT STRETCH!!!

    All our lines are produced and developed in Italy, with a worldwide patent granted only to RRD.

    The ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ are the result of the collaboration with an Italian manufacturing company that has more than fifty years of experience in the processing of lines and ropes, using the most recent and innovative exotic fibers, combined with an intimate knowledge of the physical and mechanical properties of Dyneema.

    WHY ARE THE ‘RIGID THREAD LINES’ DIFFERENT?


    The difference of our lines is that conventional Dyneema braided lines also have excellent breaking resistance characteristics, but can’t keep their original length when under tension. This is due to their entirely braided structure that sees the fibers being crossed over each other with an angle of approximately 30° compared to the load angle (0°). Once a conventional braided line is under tension it’s fibers will tend to align towards the load line and progressively start to stretch. A conventional braided line will stretch up to 10% of their original length when under load. (so a 25 meter line can stretch up to 25 cms).

    Imagine by comparison the ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ like a widely used electric cable. Core copper wires are covered with a plastic protection sock. In the ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ copper is replaced by unidirectional Dyneema pre-tensioned fibers instead of braided fibers, covered (like the plastic part on the electric cable) with a very thin braided Dyneema sock to keep the internal non-braided unidirectional fibers in place and protecting them from abrasion.

    This allows to create an absolutely direct connection between the bar and the kite, since what connects them together is an unidirectional non braided fiber core.
    For this reason our exclusive ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ have a maximum stretch of 0,1% (so a 25 meter line can stretch up to max. 2,5 cms).

    The ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ of RRD Kites will never be subject to adjustment, since they won’t even stretch under stress-related moves, for example by extreme loops or other radical manouvers, and consequently it is impossible to end up with stretched lines and/or of a different length and therefore the trim of the kite remains unchanged through the years.

    The ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ will always be visually, technically and feeling-wise, compact and rigid throughout the course of their lives, maintaining all its physical and technical characteristics unaltered over the time.
    The standard braided kite line has more stretch, which results in different line lengths, power absorption and reduction of performance, especially at the moment where you change the direction of the kite, where the load on the lines reaches its peak.

    Another weakness of the standard braided line that ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ have turned into a strength is the unchanged rigidity over the time.
    Any new conventional line, has a rigid and compact touch/feel because of the resin (generally polyurethane-based) that covers it. This resin has a very short life and after only a few sessions, the touch/feel of the product is softer.
    This translates into a series of annoying consequences such as:

    The softened lines are more subject to unwanted knots.
    The protection of the line is reduced after each session.
    The braid tends to open and it becomes more fragile, allowing the absorption of water which (after drying) will create small salt crystals inside the trhreads, which will weaken the structure of the line over the time.

    WHY ARE RRD KITE LINES INNOVATIVE?


    Unlike standard braided lines, the unidirectional structure of ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ provides a fiber memory that is significantly more efficient. A standard braided line under stress combines all ‘dynamic elongation’ of the fiber and flattening of the braid, whereas the core unidirectional structure uses exclusively the elastic modules of the fiber.
