SHIFTLOCK CARBON WING HANDLE

Product Details

Product Details

The ShiftLock Carbon handles provide an instant reaction to your input, with the bonus of being able to slide and lock into infinite positions. Carbon ShiftLock handles are purchased separately from the wing, which makes it easy to find your perfect setup. There are five carbon handle lengths, from the single 1100 or 950 boom to the 500, 400, and 250 mm handles. Follow the size chart to determine the best handle combination for your wing size. If you're a more experienced rider and you know what you want, then you've got the option to either downsize or go for a boom. The boom is your lightest handle option. It only has two connection points, so the overall weight is lower than two separate handles with four mounts. This suits a rider wanting a lighter rig for lighter winds and larger wings. The boom is also the most cost-effective option and would suit any rider's ability; its more forgiving because it allows you to slide your hand up and down during tacks. The smaller 250 handles target the more advanced rider looking for targeted positioning. The ShiftLock 1100M Boom is not compatible with the Nova Pro 2.9M

Choosing your handle length

Follow the size chart to determine the best handle combination for your wing size. The boom is your lightest handle option. It only has two connection points, so the overall weight is lower than two separate handles with 4 mounts. The smaller 250 handles target the more advanced rider looking for targeted positioning.

1100 or 950mm Boom

It is more forgiving because it allows you to slide your hand up and down during tacks and is easier to grab anywhere during manoeuvres. Although it's the longest handle, it only has two connection points, so the overall weight is lower than two separate bars with four mounts. This suits a rider wanting a lighter rig for lighter winds and larger wings.

Light weight

The ShiftLock handles have a carbon shaft, and you can reduce the overall weight even more by using a boom or smaller handle combination.

Proven strength

Cyclic load and on-water testing have been integral to proving the strength and durability of the ShiftLock system on and off the water. We've been testing for two years without failure or excessive wear.

Slide and Lock into position

Some riders like to slide their handles a long way forward, so the Wing depowers more as they go through the tack. In contrast, if you're jumping, you could slide your handles back into a more powered position. Once assembled, there’s no need to remove the handles or deflate the strut to reposition - simply undo the mounting screw one revolution, shift the handle mount, and then tighten.

Torx T40 Screws

It's loose enough to snap onto the bolt rope without the individual pieces falling apart. Then, once you tighten it up, the clamp will secure around the bolt rope tracks and will not move. The Torx T40 tool is supplied with ShiftLock wings.

Ding protection for you and your board 

When it comes to the debate about soft handles versus hard, ShiftLock delivers the best of both worlds. The rigid carbon handles instantly react to your input, while the soft TPU handle ends help protect you and your board.

Biomechanically optimised

The ShiftLock handles contain some of the technology developed for our new Navigator Pro kite control system, like the stitched seam and the oval finger bar. Both features improve comfort and intuitive control.

Easy pistol grip for torsional control

The thumb indent also allows for an easy pistol grip, so you can use the front of the front handle rather than the depower handle for downwind and chop-hopping – to power up again, only only need to grab the back handle .

Travel Friendly

The ShiftLock track is engineered from tight, woven polyester rope encased in a Dacron material to provide optimal strength without added bulk or weight. The track can be easily folded for storage and travel. We recommend removing the boom or handles for travel. This helps to avoid any damage to the wing canopy while in transit.

Harness Loop Friendly

When using smaller handles on larger wings, use the larger harness loop because the Velcro attachment points are further apart. The attachment points are closer together when you have two 500mm handles.
