Get off of my cloud Get people off your cloud with the new TRIGGER, where every jump is higher and the hangtime lasts longer. Designed by Ralf Grösel while still boasting the F-ONE DNA, the new TRIGGER by Brainchild is different and unique, but yet feels at home. This new Big Air kite is all about lofty hangtime, effortless high jumps, and intuitive handling to throw huge airs and big loops. FULL DESCRIPTION With its five-strut, high aspect ratio design and outstanding light weight, the TRIGGER by Brainchild is super responsive and efficient, while featuring a very intuitive and direct handling. With its light steering pressure, this kite is a joy to fly, and it remains incredibly easy to always know where it stands with closed eyes. The fixed bridle system keeps the shape stable in the air in the entire wind range. The TRIGGER also stands out for its ability to send controlled loops with the right amount of boost. It catches you perfectly after every trick, and makes looping safe and easy for everyone, while allowing pros to perform double loops with ease. The TRIGGER by Brainchild features a new and exclusive panel layout concept, where the panels on the wingtip areas are all joint together into one panel, as well as the main panel between the tip and the S2 strut. This new panel design enhances the aerodynamic behavior of the kite, as well as reduces the amount of seams, therefore decreasing the weight even further. An exciting new opportunity is here with the advent of a new kite manufacturing facility in Northern Macedonia in Southeastern Europe, headed by Ralf Grösel. The production facility, named Brainchild, is distinguished by its adoption of state-of-the-art assembly technologies and an unprecedented commitment to sustainability, offering an environmental record unmatched in the kiteboarding world. Brainchild uses new, state-of-the-art, extra-light materials as well as innovative techniques like PROWELD – where all the segments of the leading edge are welded together rather than stitched, which leads to an overall increased stiffness of the kite and even further weight reduction. Moreover, the kites are now digitally printed instead of using typical screen-printing processes. The freedom offered by this printing process allows us to explore new and unique graphics and colors. KEY FEATURES Designed by Ralf Grösel and benefitting from all the cutting-edge Brainchild technologies High aspect ratio and five-strut design for a responsive sheet-and-go feel Easy take-offs for high, lofty jumps with plenty of hangtime Intuitive handling with light steering pressure Offers maximum confidence to send loops, even the most committed ones Extremely light thanks to state-of-the-art materials Designed for easy and efficient upwind performance Fixed bridle system for stability of the profile TECHNOLOGY BRAINCHILD Brainchild uses innovative, high-tech and extra light materials on both the inflatable structure and canopy of the kites. Strength and lightness are guaranteed for incredible flight performances. The TRIGGER Brainchild notably benefits from the latest recycled canopy material development available on the market. The materials used on this kite are 48% recycled, undyed and unbleached to be as eco-friendly as possible. BRAINCHILD VALVE The broad, eco-friendly single-point inflation system guarantees optimal airflow and quick inflation. DIGITAL PRINTING WITH ECOINK BRAINCHILD Production has developed a unique process to print materials digitally, only using Eco Solvent Ink. Printing uses four times less water compared to dyed cloths. Moreover, only white fabrics are used for the canopy, which means there is no wastage of dyed material offcuts or the issue of any material colour shortage. This unique process makes resource planning much easier as well. PROWELD PROWELD is a unique and revolutionary process technology that Ralf Grösel has patented and developed himself With PROWELD, segments are ultrasonically welded together seamlessly at one point and then glued on the back to increase the structural rigidity of the joint. With all the segments of the leading edge welded rather than stitched, it creates a stiffer frame with better structural integrity, while also saving weight and reducing the stress on the bladder inside. This leads to a super precise bar feedback and astounding reactivity from the kite. The big advantages of the PROWELD method: – The diagonal stiffness of the Dacron is much higher than with conventional stitching, leading to greater reactivity in each manoeuvre. – Increase in the overall stiffness of the kite (+25% increased torsional stiffness) – Saves weight as less material is required for this type of seam (-15% weight compared to conventional seam construction)
