RRD - GLOBAL BAR Y30

Because of the great history of performance, RRD have kept the new version simple, reliable, and packed with the same great features of the previous versions. But with the Global Y30, RRD now take another step forward with new components

The following new features have been added to the RRD Global Bar Y30 of 2025:

• The PU tube protecting the power rope has been enlarged to 12 mm for increased durability and smoother movement.
• The chicken loop has been completely redesigned—it is now fully automatic for enhanced ease of use and safety.
• The new grip is thinner, and its ergonomic design has been carefully studied to ensure the best possible grip and perfect comfort during even the longest sessions. Whether you're riding in winter or summer, the grip will always deliver the ultimate performance.
•  The RRD Global Bar Y30 combines cutting-edge technology, premium materials, and a focus on reliability to offer the best riding experience possible.

Standard Features RRD Global Bar Y30:

• A moulded chicken loop finger that has a multiple pre-set position rotor head which allows you to move the finger to any desired position. It’s very easy to move it out of the way for riders that like to un-hook
• A double chamber de-power rope with safety line is made of high quality indestructible polyurethane which makes the bar slide easy and you will never have to replace it
• CNC milled and anodised aluminium central bar component with oversized oval recesses to improve de-power tube sliding; even during some extreme steering
• Test-winning diameter of the bar tube for the best grip
• Chicken loop safety release system with oversized handle and increased sliding potential of all components to secure an effective functionality over the years. This is the safety release system in the market with the least amount of steel components, meaning longer lifetime and less maintenance
• Moulded stainless steel safety leash double ring, angled to a position that facilitates safety leash attachment
• Customised stainless steel de-power rope cleat designed around the double chamber tube, allowing the security line to slide freely
• Moulded floating side caps injected with high memory EVA which facilitates a better bar grip and increased safety
• Oversized color coded side floaters that guarantee the floatation of the bar and easy rolling of the flying lines with line-locking system.

In addition to the new features, the ‘RRD Global Bar Y30 2025 is still equipped with special lines called ‘Rigid Thread Lines’. These are used exclusively on the RRD bars with great success for over 8 years. A product that’s now widely tested around the world, but there is little known about the details by kiteboarders.

The ‘Rigid Thread Lines‘ are the result of the collaborations with an Italian manufacturing company that has more than fifty years of experience in the processing of textile fibres, using the most recent and innovative exotic fibres, combined with an intimate knowledge of the physical and mechanical properties of dyneema.

Why are RRD kite lines innovative?

Unlike standard braided lines, the unidirectional structure of ‘Rigid Thread Lines’ provides a fiber memory that is significantly more efficient. A standard braided line under stress combines all ‘dynamic elongation’ of the fiber and flattening of the braid, whereas the core unidirectional structure uses exclusively the elastic modules of the fiber.
