Reach Kite - Orange - 2027
 
Lively, nimble, and easy to ride, the Reach is our most versatile go-to kite for all conditions. Lighter overall with more reactive steering, the 2026 Reach has a slimmer N-Max2 LE for faster-flying and extra bridle points for structural support. The kite's new profile enables cleaner airflow and a smoother feel, with more lift for easier transitions. A more swept design, slightly higher aspect ratio, and refined bridling deliver more direct steering and dynamic recovery, with quick, responsive depower. It excels in light wind and surf, and gives rise to confident boosts, freeride and freestyle. In the 13-19m, the light wind Reach is fast-flying with consistent drive forward.
N-Max2 Pro Material Airframe
 
A durable and lightweight airframe material. The multi-layer longitudinal weave improves consistency and tear strength and has greater bias elongation for more dynamic steering.
 
Massive Wind Range & Upwind Drive
 
A precise, draft-forward profile creates an efficient aerodynamic profile entry and more lift - giving you better upwind drive, and control across a wider wind range.
 
Aerodynamic Contoured Ptp2
 
A zigzag-shaped single transition panel helps reduce spanwise tension in the seams, smooths out the profile shape, and creates a cleaner transition from the leading edge to the canopy.
 
Low Drag Thinner Le
 
The kite is fast-flying with more direct turning, vertical lift, and improved low-end. The thinner LE also increases the loop speed, so it can fly forward and catch you quicker.
 
Response Precision Bridle Points
 
Five bridle points support the slimmer LE, maintaining the rigidity of the lighter airframe and ensuring stability for controlled response and consistent performance.
 
Drift Control
 
With refined bridle tuning for quick, progressive depower, the Reach has tactile surf handling, responsive steering and excellent drift, ideal for foil and surf.
 
Easy Relaunch
 
The kite’s moderate leading-edge diameter provides additional buoyancy, helping the kite release quickly from the water in even the lightest conditions.
 
Initiate Fast Reactive Turning
 
Lighter bar pressure and feather-light steering make the kite feel nimble and easy to reposition. This agility is crucial for quick adjustments and mastering tricks.
 
3-Strut Dynamic Manoeuvrability
 
Lighter weight, with less rigidity than a 5-strut, makes the kite faster, with more direct steering and quicker turning, for a more playful feel and easier kite control in all conditions.
 
Progressive Mid-High Ar
 
The mid-high aspect ratio design with wider wing tips and a balanced bridle provides a compact steering radius, improved loft and hangtime, good impulse slack, and a smooth catch.
