I have aquired a new bar and was wondering what size to cut it down to it's 55cm now.

Cheers mate, thats what i was thinking about around 45cm, i fly a 12m havoc, brand new out off box, still waiting to fly it, the anticipation is immense.

Hey klerk5,

I'd fly it with the 55cm bar and see if you like it. If as Dave says, it's too fast, cut it down. If it is just right, leave it as is. It depends upon how fast you want your kite to turn. We rig our 10m Flows on 55cm bars cause they turn that bit faster.

If you're into handle passes, then cut it down, a shorter bar is a little easier to pass.

Good winds,

hey mate, the havoc is awesome.... i have a 12m and fly it on the small 45cm bar...

it flys really smoothly and turns at just the right speed on this bar.... i would reccomend you ues this size otherwise the kite will be less forgiving when performing tricks.
