NORTH ORBIT 2024
BIG AIR/FREERIDE
DESCRIPTION
Committing to dominated airs and megaloops in gusty conditions requires unwavering confidence in your kite. Our iconic 5-rib premier kite offers incredible high-end control and allows you to maintain more power per square meter than any other kite. Big jumps. Great waiting time. Large wind range. The North Orbit launches you quickly into the wind, with effortless steering, extreme momentum, and hang time guaranteed to take your breath away. For 2024, we have softened the shape of the LE, introducing a continuous curved arch that is slightly narrower at the shoulders and wider at the wingtips. The wingtips have a more bielliptical shape to reduce drag and accelerate turning speed, while a slightly deeper profile in the center creates more lift. The wingtip changes inspired a completely reworked flange and attachment point position, for the most stable orbit yet. The kite feels even more reliable and forgiving in gusty and overpowered conditions, but retains its ability to fly forward and catch you in kite loops. It's intuitive Riders of all levels can experience the best of both worlds, without worrying about the position of their kite in the sky. Responds best in all conditions. In the smaller sizes, we slightly reduced the aspect ratio and refined the profiles to improve hang time and a faster, tighter turning radius for doubles and S-loops. In the larger sizes, we've updated the profiles for a livelier, more responsive feel, with greater low-end performance for heavier riders. We have also reduced the overall weight of the kite with lighter bladders now in all sizes. A lighter weight means your kite flies faster, sooner, because you need less wind to lift the kite into the sky. Tested by nature, tested on the podium. The Orbit has your back when the rules of gravity don't apply.
