North Orbit Ultra Kite 9 M

Product Description

Our fastest, most reactive version of the iconic Orbit is precision-engineered thinner and lighter for extreme boosting and looping in a wider range. The new higher modulus Aluula airframe means we’ve been able to reduce the LE/strut diameter, for a faster, more forward-flying kite with a more direct feel and even greater efficiency.

Characteristics

• 13-18% lighter airframe
• Faster flying smaller LE diameter
• 5-point bridle for stability and shape-hold
• Refined weight-saving construction
• Stable 5-strut performance with micro strut geometry
• Linear core sizes
• Pro points light and direct steering impulse options
• Response competition bridling for faster control
• Refined HyperFlow strut isolation
• Recycled PET kite bag

Features

• New Aluula Gold Airframe
  We’ve chosen Aluula, an extremely light, strong and durable composite material to add extra rigidity the Orbit Ultra’s inflated structures. The extra rigidity allows us to reduce the diameter of the LE and struts, for a faster, more forward-flying kite, with a more direct feel and even greater efficiency.

• Durable weight-saving construction
  The kite weight overall isn’t too different across the Orbit range, because despite the Aluula material being lighter, it requires more reinforcement – but the kite feels lighter in your hands.

• New Response 5-point performance bridle system
  The Orbit Ultra has five bridle attachment points. The extra point helps to support the thinner and lighter LE diameter, keeping the centre of the kite stable and ensuring consistent high-performance, especially in the high end.

• New Linear sizing
  Constant steps for constant power steps. In competition, you want a linear correlation between sizes, so stepping up or down a size gives you the same 12% difference in power, no matter what size kite you’re flying. The new numbering system reflects the true size of the kite, simplifying the math so you can concentrate on the wind.

• Pro-Point Steering Impulse options
  For lighter or more direct bar pressure options. The Orbit Ultra has two steering line attachment points.
