PROGRESSION FOCUSED KITE The Catalyst V5 is based on the proven V4 planform and now benefits from several key design developments that further enhance stability, durability, and handling. 10 bridle line attachment points – Now featured on the leading edge of all sizes (previously only on 14 m and 16 m). Added frame and canopy stability delivers an even, confidence-inspiring feel for inexperienced kiters across a wider range of conditions. Enhanced durability – Dacron reinforcements added to sail sections that experience increased abrasion during regular ground contact in the learning phase. More arc in the rounder air frame – Delivers slightly faster handling for more progressive rider development and increased fun. OVERVIEW OPEN ARC DESIGN The lightweight one-strut design combined with an open arc shape delivers smooth power and impressive light-wind performance, making it easy to get up and riding. WIDE WIND RANGE AND PROGRESSIVE DE-POWER A wide wind range with progressive de-power makes riding in variable or gusty conditions comfortable, while strong upwind performance gives you more time to focus on developing your skills. RE-LAUNCH IS SIMPLE By turning the bar or using the re-launch balls on the leader lines, the kite easily rolls into the re-launch position, even in light wind conditions. RETRACTING REAR BRIDLE LINE SYSTEM Introduced on the V4, the retracting rear bridle line system reduces the chance of line tangles. It also increases rear line tension when riding sheeted out, improving bar response and overall control across a broader range of conditions. RELEASE SYSTEM The time-proven Front Line Flag Out release system is simple and effective. When the Click-in Loop is released, the kite flags out to one front line, instantly removing all power. DEVELOP YOUR PASSION AND MAKE YOUR FIRST MOVES Once you’ve mastered the basics and are ready to progress, the Catalyst’s jumping ability will surprise you. Smooth lift with precise feedback makes learning your first boosts easy, while the intuitive turning characteristics help you carve confidently in no time.
