rhino 1 bar

Post by matt k »

I am wondering what size bar to run with 16 and 12 rhino 1's

Would a 20 inch bar be to small for the 16

So anyone who flys or flew the rhinos could you let me know what size bar they came with, thanks.

I think the Rhinos and the Toros came with the same bar last year. It was called the "rodeo" or somthing. Jerry S has mine now and he could measure it for you. I was using this bar with the 16M Toro and it turns it FAST.

Hey Matt,

The bar for my toro 16 is 22". The 20" should work.

Thanks guys,

I am thinking of picking up a cabrinha power lock bar, one loop and you lock in or out depending on how powered you are or while jumping lock in for a nicer air.

Matt,

If you need a bar for those kites, I have an extra (what I think is a 20) bar from my 2002 Toro 12. I ended up purchasing a 2003 bar to use with that kite and am not using and don't have plans to use the 2002 bar at all. It is in almost new condition.

You would need lines and a leash. I'll give you a great deal on it...

If you are looking at other bars I would recommend the 2003 North bar - it is adjustable in size and just great to ride with.

I saw one of those power locks in Storm Warning yesterday. It looks like a very nice system. Some guys on kiteforum.com love them.
