Technology

What makes it work.

Modern-C design

Impressive line slack for handle passes and unhooking. The kite provides explosive pop, and then lines stay untensioned, giving you time to perform your most impressive freestyle tricks.

Efficient and smooth handling

The Pulse has a narrower span to help you build up speed for unhooked tricks. It’s curved central arc and profile entry produces power and the flatter wingtips enhance dynamic steering.

Performance tuning options

Finetune your bar pressure or steering impulse on the rear wing tip. The Pulse has two settings – closer to the wingtip for lighter bar pressure, closer to the centre for more direct.

High-Performance N-HTRS canopy

All our kites are manufactured using North High Tenacity Ripstop (N-HTRS) polyester yarn canopy material for lightness, high tear strength, zero porosity and longevity.

DuraLite seam protection

Lightweight Duralite reinforcement patches create a durable buffer along the LE seams, protecting the stitching from chafing and abrasion.

Powerful turns

The front lines are attached directly to the wingtips, without a bridle, resulting in a powerful steering impulse, and higher bar pressure, which contributes to the impressive pop and slack.

5-Lines*

The 5th line is loaded to support the arc shape and ensure safe relaunch. The single bridle allows for a more 'open' shape than a non-loaded five-line-kite. *Requires a 5-Line Control Bar

Leading Edge Segments

Each panel of the leading edge is curved, for a smoother, more aerodynamic arc shape. The curved panels eliminate the need for transition panels between the LE and the canopy.

N-Dure2 inflated structures

The Pulse airframe and wingtips are constructed from the highest-quality industry-proven N-Dure2 Dacron, ensuring longevity and durability for protection against chafing when self-launching.

Durable high tensile LE seams

Considering force from inflation and steering movements, we’ve used a lightweight thread with high breaking strength and shock absorption to enhance resistance to fatigue, impact, and wear.
