Experience the Aluula construction, massive hangtime, and technical looping of this 3-strut kite.Here’s what’s new on the V2 Code NXT…What Slingshot has to say:Code NXT V2 is the next evolution of the worlds first rider-designed New School Big Air kite. Built by Jeremy Burlando and refined with Adi through years of collaboration, competition, and relentless testing. The Code NXT V2 brings a new level of connection between rider and kite: instant feedback, vertical lift that feels weightless, loops that stay fast and controlled, and a confidence-building bar feel that lets riders push without hesitation.The Code NXT V2 doesnt just react it communicates. Jeremy describes it as a character that tells you everything without saying a word. Every design decision was made to help riders progress faster, feel safer in extreme winds, and unlock the explosive, technical riding that defines the New School Big Air movement.Features:20% faster, cleaner loops thanks to a redesigned trailing edge(CODE95) and minimized drag.Significantly improved vertical lift with a refined arc and weight savings throughout the airframe.New 7-point fixed bridle that locks structure in place during extreme overpowered riding.Updated LE + seam construction, lighter, stiffer, more responsive.Calmer, more intuitive steering pressure that boosts control in gusty winds.Aluula Laminate airframe delivers a stiffer, lighter, more responsive structure that holds its shape under extreme load. The added rigidity gives V2 its signature precision: cleaner loops, tighter lines, and instant recovery even in chaotic wind. Compared to V1, V2 feels like upgraded technology, more precise, more forgiving, and more explosive. It is built to perform in the sketchiest, highest wind, highest consequence conditions without losing its identity. Jeremy calls it the Silent Killa, because it speaks through feel, not force.Tech Features:CODE95 Trailing Edge Material – Lighter, stiffer, eliminates flutter, accelerates loop speed.Refined Arc & Paneling Layout – Optimized airflow and reduced drag for vertical takeoff + hangtime.7-Point Fixed Bridle System – Increased stability in overpowered conditions; no pulleys, pure feel.Re-engineered Leading Edge Construction – Lighter weight + reinforced durability.New Fiberglass Batten Layout – Enhances rigidity and consistent recovery after loops.Intuitive Mid-Setting Steering Line Tuning – Balanced bar feel straight out of the bag.Aluula Laminate Leading Edge + Struts – Ultra-stiff, lightweight composite material that dramatically increases structural integrity, responsiveness, and wind-range efficiency. Maintains kite shape under maximum load for tighter loops, cleaner feedback, and improved vertical lift.Rider Designed Performance:Every rider knows the moment a session feels different. When the kite becomes an extension of you, when power builds smoothly into your hands, when lift arrives exactly when your body expects it. That feeling is what the Code NXT V2 was built around. From the first dive of the kite, you feel a cleaner connection. The pull is more deliberate, the timing more intuitive. As you edge and load, the kite holds steady and predictable, giving you the confidence to commit fully. When you release, the lift isnt just stronger… its smoother, carrying you upward with a sense of control that feels almost automatic. And on the way down, the catch is softer, more supportive, more controlled, as if the kite knows where you want to land. These sensations arent an accident. They come from subtle but meaningful refinements in tension, structure, and airflow, updates you dont have to understand to appreciate, because you feel them instantly on the water. The Code NXT V2 isnt just about boosting higher or looping harder. Its about the feeling of riding a kite that responds the way your mind does, fast, fluid, and instinctive. A kite that gives you confidence the moment you launch. A kite that turns progression into something you can feel. This is the Difference.The Feel:Cleaner Connection – From the first loop, Code NXT V2 feels more connected and deliberate. Feedback stays predictable so you always know where the kite is without needing to look. As you load and edge, it holds steady and supports commitment. The result is confidence that shows up immediately.Smoother Vertical Lift – V2 doesnt just boost higher, it lifts smoother. Timing feels more intuitive, and the takeoff comes with a controlled, weightless rise instead of a harsh hit. You float with more composure at the apex, ready for late tricks and technical combos. It makes big air feel more automatic.Faster, Cleaner
