The benchmark for Big Air. The North Orbit 2027 is back with refined aerodynamics, smoother handling, improved hangtime and even faster kiteloops. Built around the proven 5-strut platform with the lightweight N-MAX2 Airframe and durable N-RS3 Canopy, the latest Orbit delivers more direct steering, greater stability and effortless confidence whether you're chasing your first jumps or pushing the limits of Big Air. Built for Every Big Air Rider The North Orbit 2027 continues its legacy as one of the world's most trusted Big Air kites. Whether you're sending your very first jumps or chasing personal height records, the Orbit delivers the confidence to progress session after session. Its refined aerodynamic profile and updated bridle geometry create an incredibly smooth, stable kite that remains perfectly positioned overhead in both steady winds and gusty conditions. Steering feels lighter, more direct and more responsive than ever, allowing you to focus entirely on your riding. From freeride sessions to technical Big Air competitions, the Orbit is engineered to help every rider push higher. What's New for 2027 Refined aerodynamic profile for smoother, more stable flight. Updated bridle geometry delivers quicker steering and more direct bar feedback. Slimmer wingtips reduce drag for faster turning and increased vertical lift. Improved hangtime with more float and softer, more controlled landings. Faster, more predictable kiteloops for easier progression at every level. Retains the proven N-MAX2 Airframe, N-RS3 Canopy and PTP2 Load Distribution Panels for outstanding durability and performance. More Lift. Longer Hangtime. The redesigned slimmer wingtips generate less drag and allow the Orbit to climb even faster through the window. Combined with its efficient high aspect ratio design, you'll enjoy explosive vertical lift and noticeably longer hangtime. More airtime means more opportunities for grabs, board-offs, rotations and smooth, controlled landings. Fast, Predictable Kiteloops The updated steering characteristics make the Orbit feel more playful without sacrificing control. Kiteloops are faster, smoother and easier to predict, while the kite delivers excellent catch and recovery for confident progression. Whether you're learning your first loops or sending massive Big Air tricks, the Orbit gives you complete confidence throughout every maneuver. Premium North Construction N-MAX2 Airframe delivers exceptional stiffness while keeping overall weight low. N-RS3 Canopy provides long-lasting shape retention and precise power delivery. PTP2 Load Distribution Panels reduce seam stress while improving airflow across the canopy. 5-Point Response Bridle offers precise steering and consistent performance throughout the wind range. Wide Wind Range & Outstanding Stability The Orbit remains incredibly stable overhead while offering impressive upwind performance and excellent depower. Its balanced design gives riders confidence across an exceptionally wide wind range, from freeride cruising to fully powered Big Air sessions.
