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.

TEIJIN 130G DACRON RIPSTOP

For over two decades, we have built our kites in the most state-of-the-art cloth from Teijin’s factory in Japan.

They have developed the best technologies and quality material for our kites over the years. Teijin has worked on a few major developments with the double ripstop on the canopy cloth and durability treatments.

The kite industry was lacking choice of cloth density. We could build kites with a 52g per square meter for the canopy and about 160g for the leading edge, strut, and reinforcements. Having only two choices was not easy because on some parts the 52g was too light and the 160g too heavy.

After numerous developments and tests with Teijin, we are now using a new Dacron 130g double ripstop. As a result, we have saved weight while keeping excellent strength. The kite is more reactive and of course feels lighter; that is particularly important for the bigger sizes, especially in light wind or for the turning speed during kite loops.
