North Navigator PRO Control System 2025: The New Apex of Precision

For the serious rider, the connection to the kite is everything. Whether you are hunting for a new world-record height or sticking technical kiteloops in 40 knots, your control bar needs to be an invisible extension of your intent. The North Navigator PRO Control System 2025 is not just an update; it is a complete mechanical overhaul, redesigned with 70% new parts to provide the lightest, strongest, and most responsive kitesurfing bar experience available today.

Available at Water Sports House, the Navigator PRO is engineered for high-stakes performance, featuring industry-first technology that solves the age-old problem of tangled lines and parasitic drag.

Engineering Breakthroughs: What Makes it “PRO”?

While the standard Navigator remains a versatile workhorse, the Navigator PRO is a specialized kitesurf power bar built for the “Ultra” tier of riding. North’s engineering team spent over 25 years in research to deliver a system that is 20% lighter and 20% stronger than its predecessor.

Front-Line Auto-Untwist

The hallmark of the Navigator PRO is the frictionless auto-untwist mechanism. Utilizing a premium Zirconia ceramic bearing, the bar automatically unwinds your kitesurfing lines after every rotation or loop. This means you never have to manually spin the chicken loop again, keeping your landing line clear and your safety system always ready for deployment.

New Internal Truss Structure

To reduce inertia and increase steering impulse, North developed a single-piece over-moulded bar with an internal truss structure. This design provides maximum stiffness under the extreme loads of Big Air while stripping away unnecessary weight.

Technical Specifications: Navigator PRO vs. Standard

Choosing the right kite bar depends on your discipline. Below is a breakdown of how the PRO stands apart:

Precision Kitesurfing Lines: SK99 Pro

The Navigator PRO comes standard with the highest quality German-made Liros Dyneema SK99 Pro lines. These lines are thinner than standard sets, significantly reducing wind resistance (parasitic drag) so your kite can fly faster and further forward in the window.

• Front Lines (1.55mm): Built to handle the primary load with zero stretch.

• Steering Lines (1.33mm): Thinned down to sharpen steering response and promote even line shrinkage over time.

• Modular Length: Comes in a 22m (12m + 10m) configuration, allowing you to quickly switch to short lines for kiteloop training or foil racing.

Safety and Harness Compatibility

Safety is the cornerstone of North kitesurfing bar design. The Navigator PRO features the patented Connect Quick Release (QR), which is ISO-21853 certified.

Toolless InterLoop System

You can switch your harness connection in seconds with no tools required. This makes the Navigator PRO compatible with any kitesurf spreader bar setup:

• Standard Freeride Loop: The all-rounder for most riders.

• Surf Slider Loop: Essential for use with a spreader bar kitesurf rope slider, providing 360-degree freedom for wave riding.

• Freestyle Loop: Larger loop for easier unhooking and re-hooking.

Key Performance Points:

• Single-Action Reload: Simply click the loop back into the QR like a seatbelt.

• Micro-Grip Traction: 3.5x more abrasion-resistant than standard EVA, providing a non-slip feel even with cold, wet hands.

• Nautical Color Coding: Red (Port) and Green (Starboard) bar ends ensure you always grab the kitesurfing control bar correctly.
