The all new QuickLink™ control system with IDS is all about connections. Without a doubt the most important piece of
kiteboarding equipment is a control system with the ability to securely connect and dis-connect on demand. It shatters the status quo and sets an entirely new standard in design. From its functional form to its ergonomic geometry to its proven handling of security, the QuickLink control system raises the bar to a new untouchable height.
The first thing you’ll notice about QuickLink is its unique ergonomic design. We have gone through great lengths to design a quick release harness loop system with all the security functions intact while actually reducing the external clutter often found in control systems. The QuickLink’s ergonomic design becomes an extension of your body with its smooth curves and clean lines. Each feature is made to function using the body’s intuitive movements and form factors. Each feature is strategically positioned for optimum activation or deployment. The top of the harness loop is perfectly shaped to fit your hand for positive control while hooking in or when activating the main quick release. Both the QR 1 and QR 2 quick release handles meet the AFNOR standard for release loads when tested to 150 kgs.
