FAQs about Cabrinha Bars
What is the difference between TrimLite Cleat and Recoil on the 2016 Cabrinha Bars?
TrimLite Cleat allows precise trim adjustment. It's very light in weight as well as design. There is PU tubing throughout the as well as internalized mainline and landing lines, giving you the bare essentials with perfect balance and trim. Recoil is the way to keep your trim adjusters in the same position consistently. Recoil is able to return the trim adjusters to the exact same position, even after you've depowered your kite.
