PERFORMANCE BIG AIR

SKU: K4KONITRA006004

Last year we introduced the big air evolution of the Nitro to the kite market, and it delivered.

One of the most anticipated kites, grasped the kite world by the horns and took riders to all new heights.

For 04 the Nitro is back again and through the work of the Cabrinha International Big Air team and the crew at Design Works, we have taken yet again another evolutionary jump forwards.

Refined profiles to help maintain canopy support during extreme tricks and the new 7 point Apex bridle gives the riders the support and confidence they need to not only do the tricks, but to also provide them with the feedback they need through the bar during the tricks.

The ultimate wingman, the new Nitro will not only help you go to the next level but will also be there with you for the ride of your life.

Key Features

TAKE TO THE SKY

Cabrinha's biggest boosting kite in the range with exceptional hang time.

BI-DIRECTION PURE PROFILE PANELS

The smoothest and most 3d correct shape we've ever created allowing the smoothest transition between the segmented leading edge and curved canopy.

NARROWED TIPS

The new narrow wing tip design puts more canopy area in the centre region of the kite improving projected area and increasing efficiency of airflow.

HIGH SWEEP, HIGH ASPECT

Powerful, well-balanced and responsive leading to massive air and direct, powerful kiteloops.

EXCELLENT UPWIND PERFORMANCE

The unique profile of the canopy allows for effortless upwind performance.

ULTRA HT

Developed exclusively for kite leading edges, this is a strong, stable, and exceptionally responsive material. Ultra HT reduces the weight of the leading edge and struts while boasting incredibly low elongation and response. A unique and proprietary coating process increases durability and performance unlike anything you have felt before.

NANO RIPSTOP CANOPY

A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the kite's design properties are supported by a stable and reactive kite material. Nano Ripstop does just that.

FEATHERLITE BLADDERS

The all new Apex bladders are not only 22% lighter than standard bladders, they are also through controlled elongation, able to work in harmony with UltraHT to increase response and speed of turning of the kite.

BULLET PROOF BUMPERS

These new Durable TPU bumpers are strong, lightweight and durable. They crossover protecting the canopy to LE sewing. A new manufacturing process helps with abrasion when the kite is resting on a hard surface.

SPRINT 3.0

The Sprint 3.0 inflation system increases air flow from leading edge to the strut. The straight and angled valves allow for no kinking of the inflation tube. It's secure fit design also allows for easy maintenance.

NITRO 7 POINT BRIDLE

Working alongside the Cabrinha International Big Air team we experimented many bridle options, but in the end the 7 point Nitro Apex bridle stood out as the best for kite control, reactivity and feel during regular jumps and kiteloops.

EXPANDAPACK KITE BAG

An all NEW stylish expanding backpack allows for fast pack down and comfy transportation of your kite, pump and control system. Easily Expands to carry multitple kites in one bag leading to more adventure and less faff!

"This is a kite that will boost you to new height records. Looping the kite once or twice is easier than ever since the kite gives me a lot of confidence that it will be in time to catch me! We have worked on the kite to make it as stable as possible to be able to ride it super overpowered. This is giving me a lot of control when riding the European storms, exactly what I need to train the big mega loops! The bar feeling is smooth and you can always feel the kite in the air, no matter if you are upside down or flying it one handed. If you want to go big, this is the kite I would recommend!" – Stijn Mul
