Who is this for?

The Switchblade Design Works is for the rider who seeks increased performance in a confidence inspiring design.

Ideal for the freeride twintip kiter, who has ambitions to take their jumping to a new level, riding more powered up, jumping with more consistency. This rider is looking for a kite that helps them push harder and progress to new levels without punishing small mistakes.

For kiters who already know and trust the Switchblades unmatched flying qualities and feel, the full Aluula frame of the Switchblade adds a further level of responsiveness, efficiency and high end control.

The introduction of the Vert-X Bridle provides even more choice in how the kite flies, allowing riders to choose between the Unify High-Y or Low-V configuration to fine tune handling characteristics and overall ride feel.

How does it compare?

Versus Standard Switchblade:

The Design Works version maintains the Switchblade DNA with a focus on stability, wind range, easy jumping, and predictable landings. But the full Aluula frame adds a lighter, stiffer, more responsive feel, leading to better efficiency, faster reaction, and improved performance at both the low and high ends of the wind range.

Versus Nitro / Apex Nitro:

The Nitro may reward expert riders with higher peak performance when perfectly timed, but it requires more precise technique to extract it. The Switchblade Design Works is the ideal choice for most riders who want to jump higher more consistently and land with more control. It is is step closer to the high performance big air area, while remaining easier and more forgiving.

Versus Moto Apex:

The 3 strut Moto Apex is lighter, and very versatile, providing better value for riders who who ride in different styles and conditions. The Switchblade Design Works is for the true twin-tip freerider who wants more structure, increased wind range, better support when overpowered and jumping.
