Hi Peeps,

There is an english version coming soon. Looks pretty sweet, even in German!

Yeh look forward to understanding the technology through an english version. Looks elegant, yet quite simple. Wonder how easy it is to change the chicken loop line- always my bug bear. German engineering at its best one feels.

I froth on new stuff! I feel like a kid on Christmas Day usually around September/October.

The slow burn of anticipation morphing into excitement as the days count down, then ......... Woohoo! Can't wait to see what the design Santa's have cooked up!

yo.

New Core Sensor Bar:
This is the lightest bar on the market, no doubt (240g)! The bar feels great in my hands, it is much slimmer compared to ESP bar and got a new grip material which is very comfi.

The bar travels light along the trim line with almost no resistance up and down.
Trim line are made out of some light material which seems to be coated.
The trim line is very thin ( not like old ESP bar) and the fingers don't feel any traction in between when placing hand on middle of bar.

Quick release is so easy to use and bar got a swivel ( Rotor-Quick-Release) and the depower strap can pulls and locks/unlocks effort less.
The donkey stick hands on a rubber band and can easily be used or placed.

I recognized that the backlines are thinner than the frontlines.

Overall great design!

Looks a bit like the Norths suicide mode ring option ;) or is it just a double ring !

the bar does have a suicide ring and feels very similar to the north bar. Very light with great feedback. Going from the old bar to the new bar is like fishing in 50m of water with braided line instead of mono line. lighter with much more feel.

Anyone know if the recall will be on all new bars or was it specific to a "first run" batch ?

It looks like a really nice bar, but I quite don't understand why they would invent a new type of release. After pulling or pushing the release, now some of us will have to turn it...

Think it was first batch they are addressing at the moment, but it was a worldwide recall apparently, maybe its a rebadged toyota

Guys, None of the bars shipping to Australia will have any issues as the recall was done before any bars were sent to Australia. Sometimes it good to be a little slow. Stock should be shipped in the next few days! Hold tight and apologies for any delays.
