German company Free*Spee have created a speed bar that uses a clamp, enabling it to be easily adjusted in flight with one hand. It sits tidily below the harness, out of the way for take off, and then when you need it you just push on it and it slides easily out. Length adjustment is via a trigger system on the clamp (See pictures).
The company tell us that the DHV (German hang gliding and paragliding federation) liked it so much their test pilots are using it for the certification tests.
The Free*spee is available in white and blue, or black and yellow, and for those keeping an eye on the weight of their pack, it weighs 70 g.
