I demo'd the AirRush Lithium kite and bar today.

I actually really liked the bar. It has a below the bar swivel to untwist your lines. Pull pull de-power.

To be sure the cabrinha chicken loop and de-power system are more sophisticated but its hard to argue with the simplicity of the AirRush.

What I really liked better about it vs the cab bar was the grip. It was solid hard plastic that seems it would be resistant to the wear problems of the cab. It was comfy and have a great feel. Overall the bar is 25-50% heavier than the cab but Lo liked that feeling it felt very 'solid'.

Given that the bar pressure of the lithium is half at least of the switchblade this made for an overall nice and comfy and solid direct feeling.
