The safest, most universally compatible, high-performance control system ever. Now auto-unwinding, stronger and lighter, with unrivalled comfort and grip in all conditions.
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.
New Aluula Gold Airframe
A UV-resistant outer film is sustainably bonded to the ultra-strong high-modulus ALUULA Core material. The resulting lamination produces a high-performance non-permeable fabric with an unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio. ALUULA Gold is 40% lighter than N-Max2, 15x stronger than Dacron when new, and more than 35x stronger after the same UV exposure. Its extremely high modulus gives extra rigidity to inflated structures.
Durable weight-saving construction
Like the Pro, the Orbit Ultra has many weight-saving features for lighter more agile handling. We’ve reduced the overall volume on the leading edge and struts by 12L between the Orbit and the Ultra. We’ve stripped back the scuff guards, used the lightest bladders, reduced the HyperFlow hardware and steering impulse attachment points. The Ultra canopy is constructed using a triple ripstop N-HTRS polyester yarn canopy material for high tear strength and longevity.
New Response 5-point performance bridle system
We’ve optimised the bridles for a controlled response and faster steering, while giving the kite a more energetic feel with increased depower. Our competition athletes have put the Orbit Ultra through hardcore testing in extreme conditions, enabling us to refine the steering behaviour and give the kite a more responsive feel. When you’re in inverted rotations, you’ll know where it is.
Pro-Point Steering Impulse options
Closest to the wingtip (-) is the factory setting your kite will be delivered with. Use this setting for light bar pressure and a slightly more direct feel in the steering. Further away from the wingtip (+) gives a medium bar pressure, firmer, more direct steering and shorter depower travel. It’s a Formula 1 feel, requiring a little more force to control the steering.
Lightweight bladders in all sizes
This additional weight reduction improves the low-end capabilities and helps the kite fly more efficiently. It also improves the overall static balance by reducing weight in the front of the kite.
