Beetje marketing maar geeft een goede indruk. (grinnik_kitesmiley)
The Takoon eNova belongs to the second BOW kite generation developed by Takoon.
The original Nova concept which integrates both the control system and the kite, was aimed at keeping the feel of the classical 4-line kite while at the same time enhancing the wind range, reinforcing security and making the gear simpler to use.
Takoon now develops this concept by proposing a kite that is easy to handle, without embellishment, for all riders who want to ride in simplicity with performance equipment.
The eNova has a 5 struts shape, a smooth feeling in navigation and a simplified construction. While keeping a great level of performance, the eNova is a light, stable and easy to re-launch.
Last but not least, it is the first kite in conformity with the new standards on safety. Less aggressive but more stable, the eNova kite is ideal for Wakestyle, Surfing, and Free-riding.
REVOLUTIONARY SHAPE
The eNova range:
- high performance thanks to a shape inspired by the Nova2. Same exclusive bridle system.
- light and stable. 5 struts, less panels. Reinforcements positioned at the critical points.
- easy relaunch. Ideal for school use.
The feeling is very close to traditional “C “kites where the kite gets more bar pressure while remaining light.
Ideal for beginners who have a better hold over the kite and more bar pressure.
Wake style addicts will keep the contact with the kite during the jump and find their way.
The Takoon Nova concept offers better performances thanks to a new kind of kite with a flat profile. These new profiles increased power delivery and immediately depower when you let go of the bar, without anything to release. This unique integration of kite + bar provides a wind range equivalent to 3 traditional C kites in full safety and for equivalent performances.
Moreover, re-launching is done without swimming, just by pulling a rear line. Performance and safety characterize this kind of kite, but the eNova and the Nova2 differ on certain points:
The eNova has less aspect ratio and a thicker profile, which provide steady power band.
Nova2 has more lift; the eNova being more stable with the same turning ability.
The eNova kite’s optimum wind range is slightly different than the Nova2. The eNova has a better low end and the Nova 2 has a better high end.
The eNova has more bar pressure and a better depower rate, perfect for beginners.
They both have the instant re-launch function, the eNova is more user friendly to re-launch.(less fabric in contact with water).
Nova2 has Single Inflation.
In short, the 2 kites are great freeriding and surfing kites.
If ultimate performance and technology are most important for you, then the Nova2 is your kite. If you are looking for a light kite, stable and easy to handle, then eNova would be a perfect match.
