Switch Kiteboarding - What's new?
Rock Solid Stability - A refined wing tip profile and totally new Spider bridle system has reduced the drag and strengthened the structure to give the kite improved efficiency and an increased ability to maintain its shape in the toughest conditions. The already wide wind range is increased and upwind angle improved.
 
Super Smooth - The Nitro’s improved stability and it’s ability to maintain its shape in gusty conditions gives you unquestionable confidence along with a smooth bar feel throughout it’s entire range. The innovative Spider bridle inherently controls the shape while allowing quick turning and effortless de-power. The Nitro’s Spider bridal is incredibly smooth compared with conventional bridge bridles.
 
Lighter bar feel - Adding to the smooth feel of the Nitro5 we have decreased the bar pressure for a high-end effortless ride that any rider can enjoy all day.
 
Turning Speed - Turning speed is increased with a dynamic, quick and powerful turn directly responding to bar input allowing a more precise positioning during high boosts.
 
Anti-Wrap Spider Bridle - The new Spider bridle system is short and simple and you can rely on the kite to relaunch after rolling or inverting during a crash.
