Technical features▼
Penta TX Frame Construction
Penta TX, the guarantee for a more sporty, more precise and crisp feel of the kite, achieved by 15% less overall weight and a five times higher tear resistance. Penta TX replaces Dacron and is showing 50% less elongation compared to standard Dacron. Penta T is a quite stiff material, resulting in a high structural stiffness, especially recognizable in strong wind conditions, leading to less deformation of the overall structure of the kite. It's responsible for a very precise timing when edging, releasing the edge and all steering impulses - the precise and reliable steering of a racing car. Penta TX is used in the leading edge and the center strut.
Trinity TX
Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of polyester fabrics and sail materials to marine sports. The combined creative power of Duotone Kiteboarding saw the formulation of TRINITY TX. Exclusive to Duotone Kiteboarding, TRINITY TX is a 3x2 canopy material, which has proven to be far superior to other canopy materials in terms of durability and dynamic performance. The 3x2 yarn combination has proven to be the best solution in performance as well as durability, overall superior to any 2x2 or 4x4 yarn solutions. TRINITY TX. Made to stand the test of time.
Kook Proof Connectors
The kook proof line connection points prevent accidents by guaranteeing that you cannot accidentally connect your lines incorrectly when rigging your kite.
Anti Snag
The Anti Snag webbing is preventing the lines from tangling around the tip of the kite. Waterstarts are made easier and safety is increased.
Hybrid Flex Struts
The new Hybrid Flex Strut offers the kite its exceptional performance and leads to slightly smoother and more refined handling. The turning is faster and feels more dynamic. These features are controlled by the precisely tuned ratio of Penta TX and STW70 adjusted to each size. The percentage of flex material in the tip struts decreases as the size increases.
Micro Batten Construction
The Micro Batten Construction is 40% lighter compared to regular models and part of the overall concept to reduce weight and provides a cleaner and sleeker look of the kite without compromising durability or performance.
Single Stitch Trailing Edge
The Single Stitch Trailing Edge is a refined design feature that minimizes weight and reduces flutter, enhancing the kite’s overall durability and performance. By streamlining the construction, we've achieved a cleaner, more aerodynamic profile that not only improves efficiency but also extends the kite's lifespan.
MOD 3S
The MOD 3S is evolutionary in kite canopy technology, offering enhanced strength and stability. This innovative material provides three times the tear resistance and significantly less stretch compared to previous generations, ensuring that your kite performs at its peak in even the most demanding conditions.
Micro Loop Connections
The Duotone Micro Loop Connection is 40% smaller than in regular models and part of the overall concept to reduce weight on the leading edge.
Double-V Pigtails
These pigtails distribute the load of the line connections to the kite, minimizing the risk of fatigue, making the kite less prone to distortion and helps it to steer more smoothly.
