HQ Apex III bar

AJsnowkiter - 25-1-2011 at 06:29 PM

Is the HQ Apex III bar the same as the new HQ Montana bar? If it's not, could someone post a picture of it here on PKF.

Thanks,
AJ

Seanny 's picture of the apex bar appears to be a apex 2. the new apex 3 bar has the same robo chicken loop as the montana. I think the main difference between the montana and the apex is the apex has the adjuster strap and the montana has the cleat. I have both new kites here so I will take a look to double check.

Does the M5 use a 5th lines safety or what is the red line in the pciture coming off the chicken loop?

Those are NEO bars that Seanny posted above. Minus the floaters on leaders & 5th line system that is the Montana bar.

FWIW: If the Spec Sheets in the SnowKiteFlyer Brochure is accurate, the Apex III uses standard 4 lines, Montana 6 throws a Y-Line into the mix.

here is the actual bar that comes with the apex3. I personally took the bar out of the bar and took the picture myself. Its not some picture I found online somewhere.
