Technical Description
Control handles
The control handles on the Spitfire 2 PLUS are made of a strap padded with neoprene.
The best way to hold them is shown in the photo. In this way, they are ideally adjusted for
the Spitifre 2. For safety reasons, we generally recommend that you loop your hands
through the brake handles.
Fig. 4: Recommendation: hand looped through the brake handle
