The kite that spawned not only a style of riding but also a whole generation of kiters has evolved into the highest performing Switchblade to date.Taking the known Switchblade DNA, the creatives in the Design Works team have evolved this 5 strut design through use of new technologies, construction techniques and internal adjustments, to give a more playful, lighter feeling kite, while still remaining predictable and stable. This Lite Series kite utilizes the HTD Lite materials which make this the lightest Switchblade to date. Combined with the Integrated Structural Canopy (ISC) we have been able to greatly reduce the weight of the kite while increasing longevity and improving steering speed.Features:NEW:HTD Lite: Lightweight ultra rigid dacronNEW: Switchblade DNA, cutting edge handling and performanceNEW: Revised aerodynamic profiles and designNEW: Lighter and more playful control responseNEW: Bi-directional pure profile panelsUltralite bladders for an overall lighter weight kiteTrailing edge EVA rigidity battensNano Ripstop Canopy: Durability, stability and responsivenessSprint 3.0Durable TPU leading edge bumpers.Technology:SWITCHBLADE DNADNA is the genetic chain that defines who or what we are. When redesigning the kite we made sure that one of the DNA stands came from the Switchblade while the other is a new updated twist based on the findings from the Design Works team.HTD LITERefined canopy design to reduce weight, combined with a full HTD Lite Dacron skeleton provides the lightest most reactive kites to date, increasing the range and performance of your product.NANO RIPSTOP CANOPYNano Ripstop is a 55 g/m2 material with a 3mm double rip stop pattern. This micro rip stop material in unison with a newly developed coating, has given us a 2X increase in the canopys tear strength. A smaller rip stop pattern increases the amount of cells in any given panel.BULLETPROOF BUMPERSThese durable TPU bumpers are strong, lightweight and durable. They crossover, protecting the canopy to LE sewing. A new manufacturing process helps with abrasion when the kite is resting on a hard surfaceSPRINT 3.0The Sprint 3.0 inflation system increases air flow from leading edge to the strut. The straight and angled valves allow for no kinking of the inflation tube. It’s secure fit design also allows for easy maintenance.EXPANDAPACK KITE BAGAn all NEW stylish expanding backpack allows for fast pack down and comfy transportation of your kite, pump and control system.
