Description
North's safest, most compatible bar
The Navigator Pro is the evolution of the Navigator: now with auto-untwist, stronger, lighter and with unrivalled grip and comfort in any conditions. North put in more than 25 years of research, three years of development and hundreds of hours on the water, redesigning 70 % of its 130 parts. Its modular spare parts are easy to swap to extend its life.
