Mystic Stealth Freeride Spreader Bar

This is the spreader bar specifically built for anyone who doesn't do unhooked tricks and wants a hassle free experience where there can be no mistakes on whether you are locked in and ready to ride or not. This bar also gives you the option to eliminate your chicken stick as you will just be feeding the chicken loop through the ring and you are set. I like the idea that if you did need to use your safety, there is much less opportunity for the safety system to bind during an emergency situation. Simple utilitarian design.

How is it that nobody thought of this sooner! What a great idea for a spreader bar. With modern chicken loops opening up now compared to earlier designs, this is a total no brainer replacement for the traditional kite hook, and 99% of people should be using this instead. The traditional kite hook design has the huge disadvantage for most people learning to kite that it opens the possibility of accidentally coming unhooked. This can happen when launching your kite if you accidentally don't put the chicken loop on all the way (which I have seen people do many times), from aggressively over sheeting the bar to the point where you unhook accidentally, or just after a really bad wipeout if your chicken stick wasn't on properly. If you don't purposely unhook from your bar for tricks, then this is the perfect option. Once you are ready to launch, you lock your chicken loop to it, and you know you are 100% secure for your session. Brilliant!
