QUICK-RELEASE
OPERATION
The new F-ONE quick-release has been designed to work effectively in most of the critical
situations and can be triggered under load but also when the lines are slack. A stopper
at the top holds the kitebar to make sure the system works even when the bar is pushed
towards the rider and blocked in the lowest position. Its new push-away system enables
to trig-ger the release with minimal force.
