Could a manufacturer please conssider designing a kid bar?

The issue is that due to the length of the chicken loop and the safety release above, when powered, the bar is already at half reach for my 11 years old daughter.

This gives her a maximum depower reach of about 15cm, it is a shame because it would be so much easier if she could depower at the bar.

With more older kiters getting the young ones into our sport, there has to be a market for a bar that would sit real close to the hook giving the grommets ample reach to depower.

if a manufacturer actually decides to create one, could I get a free sample for bringing it up????

Naish offer three different sized chicken loops for the smart loop system, which can decrease the length somewhat. The smallest is 25cm, which means about 12cm long under load, a good 5cm shorter than the stock loop. the bars also feature clean and simple length adjustments and the 2013 ones are a thinner diameter through the grip which are all good things for smaller riders.
still not a dedicated Kids bar but might be worth a look.

The bar is specially made just for the small hands and shorter arms. The bars design is to cater to the strength to weight ratio of those under 12 and 110 pounds. Designed with a reduced diameter and a small chicken loop to make it easier to hold onto and release the safety. A shorter depower line that has no stopper and a break line 2 meters above the swivel make this a very safe bar for kids and teaching

No probs sebol.

Just for interest and I admit I haven't researched thoroughly but Dimitri seems to be the only one who caters so much for the little ones.

Junior Pro kite with junior bar - 4m kite (small version of the renegade)








Looks you're sorted for a while with the 4m Reo.

The bar just looks like a normal bar with short throw and a small C-loop. This is an easily attainable mod for just about any bar these days (as mentioned above). Also most bars come with a small reduced diameter grip these days which would be fine for a small kid.
Good to see someone is thinking of the groms though! I wonder how much longer till brands design for advanced riders and not just kooks ...
