SK Shapes bars stand out due to their high-performance design, meticulous Swiss craftsmanship, and commitment to innovation. All our bars are handmade or assembled in Switzerland, ensuring unparalleled quality, durability, and a unique feel tailored to your riding.

Beyond just weight savings, SK Shapes bars are streamlined for peak performance and durability. Unlike many commercial bars, we focus on making essential features highly efficient, organized, and exceptionally long-lasting. Crucially, we custom-tailor your bar to your exact riding style, personal preferences, and body size, providing an unmatched connection to your kite.

Our bars are primarily crafted from premium carbon fiber, renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. We use high-modulus carbon layups and durable, marine-grade components for all other parts, ensuring longevity and performance in harsh conditions.

Our intuitive online configurator guides you through each step. You’ll select options such as bar model, rigging, line length, and harness connector. As you make choices, you’ll see a preview of your unique bar, ensuring it meets your exact specifications before you order.

SK Shapes bars are designed for broad compatibility. They generally work with most four-line kites on the market that utilize a single front line flag-out safety system. For specific compatibility questions, please refer to our detailed technical specifications or contact us directly.

After each session, rinse your bar thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Allow it to dry completely in the shade. Periodically inspect lines for wear and the quick release for smooth operation. Avoid harsh chemicals. Always store your custom carbon bar clean and dry, ideally in a bar bag, to protect it.

Absolutely! Our custom bars are designed for all levels of riders, not just professionals. While developed with kite foiling in mind, our carbon bars deliver superior performance and customization benefits whether you’re into freeriding, big air, or racing.

Yes, jumping is not a problem at all. Through extensive breaking load tests, we’ve confirmed that the strength of our carbon bars exceeds that of most commercial big air bars, providing robust performance for demanding maneuvers.

We’ve intentionally designed our bars without soft pads to provide the most direct and unfiltered kite feedback. The matt finish of our carbon offers ample grip. While new users might need a short adjustment period, riders consistently find this direct connection superior once accustomed.
