The Width AKA 2 is distinguished by a Expanded Central Hole, allowing the safety line to slide even more easily when dropping ... but also in the other direction when you bring back the bar. Thanks to his outstanding compactness, it is perfectly adapted to ridersin adepts wave, of foil or raceFor whom an ultra-short system is essential.
Very simple to reset, the width is also easy to disassemble, which facilitates its maintenance. The upper part of the dévrilleur is now equipped with a shock, reducing the impact against the center of the bar during maneuvers or shocks.
The contributions of version 2
The V2 version incorporates many improvements:
- a new alloy devour, light and ultra solid, manufactured by Clamcleat, world reference in hardware.
- a Load capacity tested at 800 kg (!) For total reliability.
- Even more efficient drop: Less than 10 kg strength for 300 kg load, better although the requirements of the AFNOR standard.
- a Chicken loop end finer, allowing if necessary a connection in suicide leash.
The Chicken Loop is declined in three sizes according to your practice:
- Court (s) : Ideal for wave, foil and young people.
- Medium (M) : The versatile size.
- Large (L) : Perfect for committed freestylers.
Security, essential points
The standard AFNOR NF S 52-503 advocates a annual replacement of the width or more frequent in case of intensive use.
For the aka width, it is not necessary to change everything every year, but it is essential to replace the chicken loop rope (and the elastic) at least once a year.
Rope Dyneema 800 kgAlthough doubled, undergoes permanent abrasion due to the friction of the harness. This wear increases sharply if:
- You are a rider of more than 85 kg,
- You jump regularly,
- You browse very cravole,
- You use box wings,
- You're riding with a HARNAIS ENGINE, whose rope uses the tube further.
In case of frequent use (several times a week), count a replacement of Chicken Loop every six months, or even earlier. Your safety depends on this key piece, especially in foil where we navigate away from the coast. The complete width can be replaced all two years. Remember to open it regularly to check the internal state and avoid sand. Never put the open width on the sand, especially with a harness engine.
