North Navigator Control System - Freestyle
The Navigator Freestyle is a 5-Line Control Bar engineered for use with a 5-Line kite, such as the 2025 Pulse. It has the same refined ergonomics, durability, comfort and tactile control as the Navigator, updated for Freestyle with a 5th line, Freestyle Loop and HandlePass leash. Offering fast, safe release and intuitive single-action reload in all conditions, the patented Connect Quick Release (QR) and leash comply with ISO Standard 21853:2020. You're connected intuitively to your kite by industry-leading SK99 Dyneema lines from Liros for precise performance. The blue 5th-Line attaches to a single bridle on the Modern-C shape Pulse kite, which is loaded to support the shape and ensure the safe relaunch of the kite. The blue colour makes it easier to identify when running your lines out. We've designed the Navigator with a comfortable ergonomic grip for a natural grasp, and the tactile offset finger bar is slightly oval, so you can feel when the control bar is orientated correctly. The bar features a unique micro-textured compound bar grip and colour-coded bar ends, leader tubing and line retainer pull tabs which give a nod to our sailing heritage, port (red) and starboard (green). We supply the Navigator Freestyle Control System with the Long Freestyle loop without a security finger for easier unhooking. However, the Navigator Freestyle does feature the North Modular Toolless Interloop System with LockGuard, which can be used with any of the Navigator Harness Loops*. Simply push, twist, pull, lock and go. Loops are made from optimised TPU material for flex and durability, and the flexible LockGuard safety ring prevents accidental release of the loop. The Freestyle leash ring allows you to partially flag out so you don't get tangled lines - it is a releasable suicide - you can still pull the QR and the kite will flag out. We've also supplied the Navigator Freestyle Control System with a longer HandlePass Leash for unhooked riding. Raising the bar on safety and comfort, the HandlePass leash has a refined sand-repellent geometry, and the leash QR mechanism has been modified to ensure the correct orientation is maintained when released for consistent, reliable release and reload in all conditions. The Navigator Freestyle is available in one 38-43cm bar size, which we recommend for all Freestyle/Wakestyle kite sizes. *Navigator Pro Harness Loops are not compatible with the Navigator Freestyle Control System.The details

Features
- 100% Dyneema SK99 flying lines — Strong, thin diameter (1.6mm), pre-stretched flying lines mean less parasitic drag and uncompromised direct performance. High-load LIROS DC-401 Pro flying lines have extreme stretch resistance.
- 5-Line Bar for Modern-C Kites — 38-43cm bar size recommended for all Freestyle/Wakestyle kite sizes.
- Lightweight trimming — Easy-to-reach moulded trim handle with soft-touch grip and extremely high wear and abrasion resistant Dyneema depower and trim line.
- Adjustable cleated trim system — Industry-proven line-adjustment. The cleat base has a circular geometry for consistent bar spin, in other words, no jamming when you’re doing a barspin megaloop.
- Durable TPU-covered mainline — The flexible TPU tubing has a symmetrical multi-bore channel, so the landing line and flying line can pass through without snagging, regardless of orientation, when deploying or reloading.
- Custom low-friction spinning handle — Unspin your front lines easily.
- Omnidirectional colour-coded grip — Ergonomic micro-textured compound grip with slightly oval offset finger bar, so you can feel when your bar is orientated correctly. Nautical colour-coding - port (red) and starboard (green).
- Soft bar ends with line winders — Floating EVA bar ends with retractable line winder bungees and concealed rear line adjustment. Even the best-quality lines shrink over time, so after a month, check your lines are even.
- Intuitive single-action reload — Patented, ISO 21853:2020 Connect Quick Release (QR) with ergonomic push-away release. All loaded or running surfaces feature highly polished 316 stainless steel and low-friction components.
- Long Freestyle Loop (no finger) — Modular Toolless Interloop System with LockGuard. Supplied with the Long Freestyle loop without security finger for easier unhooking, and a Freestyle Leash Ring.
- Adjustable flying lines 12m + 10m — 22m lines have a split at 12m, which is far enough for the bar to travel to completely depower our largest kite when you flag out. 8m, 6m and 2m line extensions are available.
- Designed to be exactly the same length so you can easily change the front (knotted end) and rear (lark's head loop) connectors to match most other manufacturers' kite configurations.
- Premium Quick Release Leash — Longer HandlePass Leash with swivel included. Raises the bar on safety and comfort, with sand-repellent geometry and QR mechanism for consistent, safe release and reload in all conditions.
- Spinning leash attachment ring
