Is rev bar and lines compatible with Cabrinha switchblade kites? Will the depower and safety system work well?

It is compatible, yes. If you are talking about an IDS bar, the IDS will not work, but you can fly the kite just fine, and go to a single line with a leash.

You need to look up the throw on each bar and kite. It's not recommended if you don't know what you are doing.

All kites have a required amount of throw. Throw is the distance between from sheeting in, or powered, to sheeting out, or de-powered.

You need to find out what the recommended throw is for your kite.

You need to find out what the length of the bar is supposed to be for your kite.

You need to make sure the lines on your bar are the right length, or tuned.

If you don't know for sure you need to get somebody who knows what to look for. If you get to much the throw bad things happen. If you don't have enough, bad things can happen.
