ION have just released their new patent-pending lightweight aluminium Quicklock hook, their revolutionary take on kite hooks. The construction offers single-handed hook-in and eliminates the risk of the chicken dick slipping out and releasing the kite by accident. Especially riders that ride hooked-in for the most time will appreciate this convenience. It underlines ION’s mission to create products that are superior in performance and function to anything else on the market.
SINGLE-HANDED HOOK IN AND NEXT LEVEL SAFETY
“It is especially suitable for freeriders who rarely or never unhook and want a comfortable and above all safe hook solution, where you can hook in super-fast and easy and don‘t have to worry about the loop or if it might unintentionally come loose in any situation. This probably affects 80% of people who just cruise around and jump a bit. It is also suitable for the wave, but not predestined.”– JULIAN LANGE, PRODUCT MANAGER ION WATER
ION’s new Quicklook hook is a revolution in the hook area. It underlines ION’s mission to create products that are superior in performance and function to anything else on the market.
MODULAR SPREADERBAR SYSTEM
MIX ‘ N ‘ MATCH
ION offers a modular hook system for every C-Bar, which means you can choose your preferred hook option regardless of the spreader bar – Choose between Stainless steel, Aluminium or the all-new Quicklock hook. If desired, detach the hook before the next wave session and use the already installed Webbing Slider.
C-BAR 3.0
Comfort, light weight, and a sleek design – the C_Bar 3.0 Slider unites all these properties into a single piece. In terms of dura-bility, the rope has been replaced with Dyneema webbing that is usually found in climbing gear. Molded EVA on the inside provides a comfortable fit and contributes to the slim design.On top, the tension lever system allows a quick and perfect adjust-ment of the webbings.
