SPECTRE BAR 2

The SPECTRE Bar 2 is ION’s latest innovation in spreader bar technology. Its baseplate is made from carbon infused polyamid, making it incredibly light. Thanks to the bar’s stiff properties, riders receive direct feedback. A super-slim and even softer EVA pad minimizes pressure points, allowing you to focus entirely on your riding. Integrated Spectre Flaps on each side prevent the bar from twisting while still following your movements. Lever buckles on both sides ensure even force distribution and make it easy to put on and take off the bar from the harness without undoing the webbing. The bar comes with an aluminum hook and attachment loops.

FLEX INDEX (1–20) The flex index describes the rigidity of the harness. Higher flex index = hard and rigid. Lower flex index = soft and flexible.
