Page 30: The Rrd "Rigid Thread Lines
But what we definitely didn’t want and/or need to change are the lines. In addition to the new systems, the ‘RRD Global Bar V7’ is still equipped with special lines called “RIGID THREAD LINES” . These are used exclusively on the RRD bars with great success for over 6 years. A product that’s now widely tested around the world, but there is little known about the details by kiteboarders. - Page 31 WHY ARE RRD KITE LINES INNOVATIVE?
