FREERIDE / BIG AIR

SIZES: 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12

The 2026 Orbit takes big air performance to unprecedented heights. This legendary 5-strut kite is engineered for riders pushing their limits in extreme wind conditions, chasing higher boosts, faster loops, and ultimate control. Designed for kite loop progression, it offers a huge wind range, exceptional upwind drive, and pinpoint steering.

Completely redesigned for 2026, the Orbit features a faster-flying, thinner leading edge for reduced drag, direct turning, and lightning-fast loop recovery – allowing it to fly forward and catch the rider sooner. The new higher aspect ratio (4.3 → 5.2) and more forward, cambered profile provide extra vertical lift, improved low-end power, and explosive hangtime.

At its core, the Orbit’s N-Max2 pro-technology airframe delivers a perfect balance of lightweight agility and durability. Combined with the N-RS3 high tenacity triple ripstop canopy, the result is a stable, responsive kite that can handle anything from light wind sessions to full-power big air days.

The kite’s Response 5-point precision bridle supports the slimmer LE, maintaining airframe rigidity while enhancing control, depower, and overall energetic feel. The aerodynamic contoured PTP2 panel shaping smooths canopy transitions and reduces tension for a cleaner, more efficient profile.

A C-ARC continuous curved segment arc design and refined wingtip shaping reduce drag while increasing turning speed and lift. Stability is maximised by the 5-strut frame, ensuring canopy control at high speeds and in challenging gusty conditions.

Key Features:

• Faster-flying thinner LE for direct turning, quicker loops, and improved low-end power
• Aerodynamic contoured PTP2 panel for reduced seam tension and a cleaner canopy profile
• Response 5-point bridle system for stability, control, and increased depower
• Reduced drag, increased lift through optimised arc shaping
• Higher aspect ratio design for upwind efficiency, vertical boosts, and improved relaunch
• C-ARC continuous curved segment arc for stability and smooth turning
• Stable 5-strut performance for a wide wind range and top-end stability
• Ultralite StitchHold Technology to maintain canopy shape session after session
• Low-profile bridle lines to minimise drag
• Three performance tuning options to customise feel and response
• DuraLite seam protection for enhanced longevity
• Airlite lightweight bladders to reduce overall weight
• HyperFlow rapid inflation for fast, easy setup
• Lightweight trailing edge reinforcement to prevent flutter
• Kevlar reinforced strut attachment for maximum durability
