PL Alpha Bar (Bar & Release Only)

FAQ

What is the ProLimit PL Alpha Bar?

The ProLimit PL Alpha Bar is a composite spreader bar attachment system supplied with an integrated release hook (Bar & Release Only). It serves as a connecting element between the harness and the float and can be combined with a galvanized windsurf or kiteboard spreader bar.

For which sports can I use the Alpha Bar?

According to the manufacturer, the bar is compatible with electroplated spreader bars for windsurfing as well as kiteboarding. This makes it suitable for riders who want to use the same harness concept in both disciplines.

What material is the Alpha Bar made of?

The Alpha Bar is made of composite. This makes it lightweight yet dimensionally stable, ensuring that the release hook engages cleanly and the pulling forces are evenly transferred to the harness.

In what sizes is the bar available?

The ProLimit Alpha Bar (Bar & Release Only) is offered in several widths, allowing you to adapt the width to your harness size and riding style. Choose the version that matches the width of your harness base.

How can I tell which size I need?

The size specification of the bar (in cm) corresponds to the spreader bar width. Measure the distance between the side mounts on your harness and compare it with the available sizes. If you are unsure, our team in the shop will be happy to help.

What does Bar & Release Only mean?

The addition Bar & Release Only describes the scope of delivery: You receive the composite bar including the integrated release hook. The actual spreader bar (galvanized version for windsurf or kite) is not included and must be combined separately.

How do I properly care for the composite bar?

Rinse the bar with fresh water after every session to remove salt and sand residue. Let it air dry and regularly check the release hook for smooth operation. This keeps the mechanism reliable and ensures a long service life.

Does the Alpha Bar also fit other ProLimit harnesses?

The bar is designed for the ProLimit Alpha system and is coordinated for ProLimit harnesses with a matching composite mount. For other models or third-party manufacturers, check the compatibility of the spreader bar mount before use.
