Blade V 4.9m ~
The Flexifoil Blade 5 (V) has combined the very best elements of all the Blade series over the years and has produced a kite with even greater lift and better stability than ever before. The all new design pushes more raw power and lift, into a legendary powerful canopy, giving all air junkies the ultimate weapon.
The Blade V is designed to push the Blade series to a new level. Blade V significantly raises the performance and usability of fixed 4-line big lift kites. The Blade is and has always been the most versatile
kite. Its unique characteristics have made it well suited for buggy jumping, freestyle kite landboarding, snowkiting and recreational jumping.
With the Flexifoil Blade 5 (V) flyers will jump higher than ever, and experience the raw power that only this kite can generate, giving pure exhilaration every time they fly the kite. Flyers of previous Flexifoil Blades will notice that the Flexifoil Blade 5 (V) kite turns faster and holds the power better through the turn. They will feel that the kite is very reactive to control inputs and has a more powerful feel giving longer higher floating jumps.
The Flexifoil Blade 5's (V's) high aspect ratio, swept plan form creates a fast crisp turn rate, which combined with a monstrously powerful aerofoil creates insane lift and float, yet it retains the stability loved by all Blade flyers. The kite's thin profile is fast and efficient. This efficiency is aided by a high cell coupled with internal V ribs to support the profile. The V ribs also reduce the amount of bridle, which minimized the drag in the kite, whilst keeping the wing shape smooth and aerodynamically efficient. Designed with a lightweight and new tuneable bridle, the kite can be adjusted to suit the rider's style and maximize the wind conditions.
