Ev your one lucky mofo how do the home town boys get their hands on this stuff? sure would be nice to have this stuff out b4 the US or UK ( oops now thats going to get some controversy)....
Yeah, I think that color is really sexy, and just looks fast as hell. Aside from the performance benefits, losing the center strut also make the canopy look super clean and more aesthetically pleasing.
Miltsface,
Switching to the different bar length is extremely simple, and best illustrated by these photos. It doesn’t get any simpler (or brilliant!) than this!

so is it just a larks head connection to the line that passes thru the bar end?
Harry, with regards to cost, while I have no clue what goes on across the pond (but yes, your pricing is susceptible to currency fluctuations), I can say that in the US the price of the 2010 bar has dropped from $415 USD (2009) to $375 USD for this killer new upgrade.
The drop in US price is nice, but I don’t think we, as UK riders, should be waiting for the kind of prices we had until recently. Today’s exchange rate is about $1.6/£1. That’s about normal for our 2 economies. It was only when the US economy started having problems and the UK one lagged behind that we got the benefit of almost $2/£1 making stuff considerably cheaper for us for a short period. What we’re seeing now is normality restoring itself. Both our ecominies are in the pan, to almost the same level. We should be thankful it’s not back at $1.4/£1. Ouch.
Of course, the prices for nearly everything have increased, mostly due to the Japanese Yen. When that rate restores itself again, we’ll get cheaper electrical goods, but not kites.
