DESIGN
VISION
Version 4 of our radical freestyle and big air flagship has arrived. The FSeries activates explosive high-performance characteristics allowing you to boost higher, loop harder, and pop more aggressively than ever before. It is tailored to the needs of professional riders while ensuring that the performance is accessible even to less advanced riders too. The Open-C design has all the traits of a genuine C-kite such as direct control, explosive lift, and a wide angle-of-attack that comes into play when looping the kite or popping out of the water. It is the most progressive kite design a rider can choose. Still, the kite is incredibly stable, covers a huge wind range, and swiftly takes the rider upwind.
TECHNICAL
DETAILS
- High velocity turn
- Wingtip turner
- Powerful turn
The turning characteristics of the FS are optimized for radical boosts as it instantly reacts to steering impulses. During turns, the kite generates grunty power, and you will experience staggering forward momentum in kite loops. The FS is perfect for sending massive mega loops.
- High AR
- Good upwind performance
- Efficient high lift / drag ratio
The 5-Strut high aspect ratio enables the FS to travel upwind readily. It is highly performant throughout the whole wind range thanks to its superior aerodynamics.
- Medium to low sweep
- Explosive power
- Vertical lift
The low wingtip sweep of the FS enhances the radical power of the kite. Thanks to the open C-Design, the kite has a vertical lift while always providing direct control.
E/8 Trusted Quality
Eleveight kites are built with innovative and quality workmanship. Details are strategically designed for long lasting durability, while keeping the kite light and agile.
1 . Teijin TechnoForce™ - X4 Ripstop canopy
The superior X4 Ripstop canopy is strong and tear resistant. It is made by Teijin Techno Force™ in Japan and guarantees lasting performance.
2. Double Bond Canopy
To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.
3. Quick Flow
The large diameter of the valve and strut connectors ensures easy and fast inflation and deflation of your kite.
4. Strut Force Distribution
Double strut head reinforcement for a solid and robust kite frame.
5. Short Bridle
The short bridle setup with only one wingtip pulley enhances the kite’s agility and the direct bar feeling while reducing the risk of catching the wingtip.
6. 3D Bridle Deflector
Redesigned 3D bridle deflector with structural reinforcement covering the closing seam, decreasing the possibility of bridle wraps.
7. Canopy Guards
Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity canopy reinforcements to eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.
8. German made PU Bladder Material
The lightest and most durable bladder material on the market. Quality made in Germany.
9. Safe Connect
Our kook proof front- and backline connection points eliminate any mistake when rigging the kite.
10. Easy Trim
Trim the kite’s flying behavior to suit your needs. Simply switch between backline trim options with the pull-to-pull tags.
11. Load dynamic super seam
A triple reinforced closing seam along the leading edge makes it practically indestructible. The center segments have a stronger reinforcement as the material load is much higher, compared to the wingtips with their smaller diameter.
12. Ultra-Light Load Diffuser
The trailing edge diffuses the load and strain on the canopy while reducing flutter, highly increasing stability as well as longevity.
13. Turning Trim Setting
Trim the kite according to your riding style and wind conditions by switching between different bridle line turning settings.
