Description:

This PLKB Navigator V5/6 chicken loop tube is a durable replacement part designed to restore the safety and performance of your Navigator control bar. Molded from tough PU (polyurethane), the 12 mm diameter tube provides a sturdy, yet slightly flexible loop that withstands repeated load and abrasion typical in kitesurfing. The thick-wall construction improves longevity and gives a secure connection point for your chicken loop and harness hook, while resisting deformation under heavy use.

The robust design enhances rider confidence by maintaining a consistent loop shape and smooth release behavior, contributing to safer self-rescue and depowering maneuvers. Compact and lightweight, it’s an easy field-replaceable component that keeps downtime to a minimum.
