The new carbon speedbar will fit all gliders fitted with Slipstream or Slipstream 2 control bars. A Litestream compatible version is available for all gliders that have Litestream Control Bars. Features of the new carbon speedbar include a redesigned shape, with a deep offset planform. The grip positions are optimized for comfort, control and aerodynamics in all phases of flight. Specially designed flares in the grip area allow for effortless maintenance of optimum bank angle when thermalling.

Structural features include an extra-thick laminate constructed from aerospace-grade carbon and Kevlar pre-preg, cured at 230 degrees Fahrenheit and 105 psi pressure. A stainless steel internal safety cable and corner fittings machined from solid blocks of wrought aluminum ensure the structural reliability of the basetube.
