Switch Element V2 (2013)

Development Concept
Designed to attack any terrain with rock solid and predictable behaviour, the Element2 gives the weekend warrior or pro the opportunity to blast around on the same canopy without jeopardizing performance. If you are looking to jam up wind with ease, bust some air, demolish waves with power, carve your lines in powder or grind the local park bench with your land board the new Element2 provides a fill for every rider’s need without any question.
 
Improvements
Voted by many riders as the best kite in 2012, our development team was hard  pressed to come up with improvements. Listening to our customers we gave the Element 2 more depower, reduced the back line slack, increased low end and now offer different bar pressure and depower settings. The improved depower was accomplished with longer drooping wingtips, changed outline and repositioned bridle attachment locations. The bridle was optimized and now no longer features any pulleys, sliders or any other moving parts.
 
The bridle optimisation allows the kite to tip more gradually and reduces the back line slack when sheeted out. You now will never lose the feeling of your kite even when completely depowered.
By redistributing the surface area - we reduced the wing tip area but added to the center body of the kite - the Element2 now features better low end. Better low end combined with improved depower, increase the wind range substantially and will be most definitely very noticeable to all customers.
 
Two wingtip bridle positions allow the rider to adjust for wake style or free-ride handling and by moving the rear line attachment points, you now can adjust the bar pressure to your personal preference.
