The kite harness spreader bar is the metal component that connects your harness to your chicken loop, and it is worth getting right. A good kitesurfing spreader bar distributes load evenly, stays hooked in reliably and releases cleanly when you need it to.
Spreader bars come in different shapes and lengths to suit various harness types and riding styles. A longer bar spreads the load wider and suits freestyle and freeride, while a shorter bar concentrates the pull and works well for wave riding and foiling. Some bars feature sliding hook systems for added freedom.
We stock spreader bars and replacement hooks from Mystic, ION, Duotone and other brands. When replacing or upgrading your spreader bar, make sure it is compatible with your harness – most brands have specific mounting systems. If your spreader bar is showing signs of wear, replacing it is a small investment in safety. Check our harness collection if you are looking for a complete setup.
