New 2013 Turbo Bar?

Sier_Pinski - 20-9-2013 at 02:40 PM

I just saw this video uploaded in late August detailing an updated version of Ozone's Turbo Bar. It looks like it comes with a new chickenloop along with the Chevrolet-shaped bar decals.



Do any of you know where one can be bought online in US dollars or if it's even on sale yet?

Dammit I just bought mine... and no, it isn't the 2013 version, lol.

Call up the distributer: http://ozonekitesusa.com/proddetail.asp?prod=ozone_turbo_bar...

Same chicken loop, innit?

Another video of the bar being used from the same YouTube user:



And Demoknight: do you see any differences between this "new" bar posted in my first post and the turbo bar you currently own other than the bar decals?

Looking at the video's, it looks just like the 2012 bar other than the new graphics on the bar grip areas. The "old" turbo bar has all the same features, Megatron chicken loop, Ronstan pulley's, amsteel leaders, top hat safety release ....etc....

Still a very nice bar though. :)

the new one looks to have the push away chicken loop

Nope, same old Megatron.

I *have* seen pictures of a new push away QR from Ozone though - but that ain't it.

Different pulleys. My pulleys are ronstan, but not the passthrough pulleys. If my pulleys break, I lose the kite. Those pulleys can fail but stay connected so you can at least limp back to base. That looks about the only difference I see so far.

I know this isn't the turbo bar; but it shows the new bar with the Chevy emblems and the new chicken loop:
