ACE 6m

By default power kite ACE 6m is configured with handles but not with bar and chicked loop.
I think to order this power kite but wanted to know if I'll be able to use it with bar instead of handles in case I'll be not happy with handles.

I know that some lads prefer handles vs bar and vs.

Thanks for expertise

This kite isnt a kite that works best with a bar. Unless you intend to modify it to a depower bridal. You want and NEED the fast braking ability of handles.

You can fly it on a bar x-over bar, or fixed bridal bar. (no-depower)
I would recommend not to, as it is very aggressive.

I started with my 5m Ace on a crossover bar and thought it handled pretty well. One night I was struggling with dirty wind coming over rooftops and I decided to move it to handles. The added control made all the difference and it was like I had a completely different kite.

Don't be spending big money to put it on a bar.
