Features

FLAT SEWING 

Stronger assembly of the panels: they are now glued and sewn together to make the canopy more rip resistant. 

STREAMLINED LEADING EDGE END TIPS

The leading edge tips benefit from a reduced diameter, they are streamlined to lower the drag and equipped with a strap to avoid bridle tangling

VERTICAL STRUT CUT

The kite's struts are designed with a vertical cut in order to optimize the strength / diameter ratio.

KEVLAR® REINFORCEMENT ON LEADING EDGE 

Most seams on the leading edge are protected with an abrasion-resistant Kevlar® fabric to prevent the seams from deteriorating when the kite's profile is subjected to aggressive ground friction

ONE PUMP COLLAR VALVE

Easier to remove and put back.
Convenient for bladder replacement.

SPIDER BRIDLE

The Spider Bridle is a multi-point of connection well dispatched along the leading edge which offers a better control of the arc of the kite during the flight. The stability in all wind conditions is very impressive and pushes the high wind range to incredible limits.

CNC'D PULLEY

The new, CNC-shaped, anodized aluminum low friction «pulleys” are super lightweight and increase the kite’s reactivity. They also raise the bridle’s resistance to abrasion and its overall durability.
