“Fully refined performance freeride and freestyle machine”
The most positive steering we have ever engineered into a high de-power kite. Combining Roll over re-launch, high de-power and increased stability. Excellent for all level of riding from dedicated wave riding to dedicated freestyle, with improved un-hooked performance and reduced back stall.
The steering performance and characteristics of an advanced C-Kite with a radical increased top end wind range, roll-over re-launch and depower comparable to a BOW, SLE or Hybrid kite.
Constant Canopy Support- One of the keys to the vapors high performance in wide wind range is the constant canopy support (CCS). With traditional 5th line systems, changes in depower and trim cause the canopy to have reduced support in the center area. This causes elongation of the center of the canopy which reduces the kites performance, depower and stability. With constant canopy support, the unique design ensures the load on the center lines and front lines is unchanged when trim is adjusted. The CCS can be bypassed by releasing a simple “pigtail” style connection.
Adjustable Bar Pressure- By moving the front attachment points on the vapor III, the rider can adjust the amount of bar pressure and bar feedback. Typically, Freestyle riders would prefer a higher level of bar pressure and feedback while for Freeride the standard setting is ideal. A user guide with line dimensions has been printed on the kite to make adjustments really simple.
Frame Tech- The Vapor III offers FRAME TECH reinforcing through out the canopy. This technology is designed to optimize material strength. Where the light weight canopy cloth meets the Leading edge and struts, and also at the trailing edge, it is sandwiched together with other materials to maximize the overall strength of each individual panel of the kite.
