Product information "CABRINHA Switchblade Kite 2024"

PERFORMANCE FREERIDE

SIZES: 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 14

 
The longest running and most successful kite in the industry is back for it’s 17th year, and what a year it is.
 
The kite that spawned not only a style of riding but also a whole generation of kiters has evolved into the highest performing Switchblade to date.

Taking the known Switchblade DNA, the creatives in the Design Works team have evolved this 5 strut design through use of new technologies, construction techniques and internal adjustments, to give a more playful, lighter feeling kite, while still remaining predictable and stable.
 
This Lite Series kite utilizes the HTD Lite materials which make this the lightest Switchblade to date.   Combined with the Integrated Structural Canopy (ISC) we have been able to greatly reduce the weight of the kite while increasing longevity and improving steering speed.
 
5 Strut, Hybrid design, Fusion wing tip shape, Draft forward profile, Hybrid strut.

CABRINHA Moto X Lite 2025
CABRINHA Moto X Lite 2025
Colour: c11 wildcard Kite Size: 8m

Branching off the Moto X DW kite this Lite Series product is one of the most intriguing kites we have designed to date.  A key fundamental feature of the HTD Lite material is it’s unmatched elongation control and reflex bias.  Two attributes that are shared with the Aluula material. From the moment we flew the first prototype we knew this was going to be something special.  The rigid frame that HTD Lite provides gives the stability you need during flight, while the bias reflex gives you that unique snappy turn feeling that people have been accustomed to with ‘Gold’.While this kite could be seen as being made out of standard materials, you will quickly forget that when you put it in the air.  Sharing many of the same features as the other Moto X kites, such as Pure Form Panels and ISC.  This kite is a one stop ticket to some of the best times you will have on the water.  3 Strut, moderate aspect ratio hybrid design, Reactive wing tip, Fast, lean and efficient profiles.
