DETAILS
MEDIUM/HIGH AR
AR roughly determines canopy
span factor eg. how thin the kite is.
Medium to high AR gives the kite
perfect ability to eat gusts and to
deliver a consistent power.
LE PROTECTORS
Kevlar aramid protectors in wingtip
and seam protections over the
leading edge for maximized durability
on all surfaces.
protective frame
two struts setup
Kite is lighter, great for travellers
and have better low end power.
Struts also allows the usage of
dynamic profiles for increased
power delivery in the centre and
increased stability in the wingtips.
They also help preventing unvanted
“rattle” effect on the bar because
of the less supported canopy.
Whole canopy of the kite is carefully
protected with 3-step layered
polyester cloth frame.
Squared off tips
Swept back and partly squared off
wingtips are perfect combination
of easy relaunch and direct feel &
turning of the kite.
