About UsHOW WE GOT HERE!
Renegade kite bars for the non-conformist is our motto,
K-TRAC started life early 2006 when the first protatype X-LITE bars were sold to the powerkite community, Since then Hundreds of these unique Bars have been sold worldwide, all our products are handmade at our workshop based in Newark, fanatic wind seekers and traction is our passion with boards, buggies or bare feet. Our aim is simple. To have fun! Mostly along the east coast and sometimes in a farmer’s field the dream is the same to find that perfect clean wind that powers our sport. So how did we end up with the X-LITE? It all started with a chance remark by a good friend of mine, we were sat down waiting for the wind to make an appearance and I was telling him about my disappointment at not being able to find the right bar for my Samurai, I was looking for something that had a quality brake trimming system like the systems used on depowerable bars. Although depower kites work differently the same technology could be applied to 4 line kites enabling me to fine tune the brakes on my kite for better handling. While explaining the theory to my mate he said “you have been an engineer why don’t you make one yourself”. That comment spurred me to give it a go and K-Trac is the result. That was a few years ago now and with a lot of help, bravery and a bit of faith from my flying friends I started selling the X-LITE to the global kite community, we now have sales all across the world including New Zealand and Australia. What makes the K-Trac bars unique is the centre line brake trimming system. With the brake cleat attached directly to the bar, this enables the user to fine tune their kite , giving them a faster and more precise response than you get from a conventional 4 line bar. All K-TRAC bars are hand made using top quality components from market leading companies such as Clamcleats, Marlow ropes and Dyneema. We only use UK produced aluminium tube as it is renowned the world over for it’s strength. All of our products are based on 3 key elements - Simplicity - Function - Trust All K-TRAC products come with a 100% money back guarantee. |
