The stiffness of FrameLITE’s unique weave structure significantly reduces elongation of the airframe and increases multi-season durability. At 160 grams per square meter, FrameLITE uncompromisingly offers the optimum balance of flex, strength, stiffness, and weight.High-Pressure InflationIn 2025 we decided to move to a high-pressure valve, originally designed for the military to inflate their boats quickly, with the ability to deflate just as quickly. This gives the rider the most durable and fastest inflation and deflation system on the market. Inflation takes half as much effort and deflation takes half as much time.4X4 Canopy TechThe strongest, stiffest, and most durable canopy material used in any kite. 4X4 Canopy Tech is rein-forced ripstop nylon with a 4X4 weave that delivers unrivaled tear resistance, near-zero stretch, and season-after-season durability.TrimFlight BridleThe TrimFlight Bridle delivers the least amount of drag, which significantly increases the Machine’s efficiency and response. More than just lightweight, the 6-point bridle geometry creates a cascade effect that maintains structure in the kite while providing the rider with pinpoint steering accuracy.Rider Customization System (RCS)The Rider Customization System allows you to fine-tune your kite’s performance to match your unique riding style and conditions. With multiple attachment points and adjustable settings, you can optimize bar pressure, turning speed, and power delivery, ensuring a personalized and seamless experience every session.DLE 135 Trailing EdgeWith structure and durability being paramount, DLE 135 (a material that is more stretch resistant and lighter than DLE 175) was implemented.Fiberglass BattensThe fiberglass battens installed on the canopy towards the wing tips goes a step further in raising the stiffness of the kite overall. These battens also aid in preventing unwanted flutter and wrinkles.
