ENDURO V5 DNA

The Enduro V5 Ultra-X is based on the same new shape as the current Enduro V5 and also features the Vortex-inspired 16-point bridle connection for extreme stability. Now with:

- Even more exciting lift, hangtime and balanced handling for all-round performance
 

- Further enhanced airframe stability and rapid upwind pull 
 

- Plus the Variable Bridle Geometry remains on the Ultra-X model - offering adjustable settings for freestyle / freeride & big air / wave & foil

THE UPGRADES

The Ultra-X material upgrades are lighter in weight and make the kite stiffer throughout, for higher levels of engagement and control. The new Aluula airframe provides the increased stiffness, especially in the tips, which can really be appreciated in gusty winds. With less deformation of the airframe in challenging conditions, the canopy remains tight and under tension for longer, resulting in a smoother ride with more control at your fingertips.  

SUPER DIRECT, PRECISION HANDLING 

Turns with scalpel-like precision. The Enduro V5 Ultra-X slices through the air with fingertip control.  

EFFORTLESS POWER 


Lift and pull exactly when needed to keep your style fluid, at any speed, and with improved low end power to get you shredding sooner. The harder you push, the more you get, with no ceiling in sight. 

WHAT IS ULTRA-X?

Look out for our Ultra-X range explainer video which will release later this week, revealing more details on the Ultra-X performance journey
 

Ultra-X is our umbrella term for any product that focuses on a specific discipline and produces performance levels above and beyond the ‘industry standard’.

Not limited to a single aspect of design or particular material, Ultra-X represents our commitment to peak performance. It’s about finding and applying the innovations that will help push the boundaries of a particular discipline or riding style — whether ultra-light, ultra-strong, ultra-stiff or ultra-responsive.
 

THE ENDURO V5 ULTRA-X PERFORMANCE COMES FROM MORE THAN JUST WEIGHT SAVINGS...

WEIGHT SAVING IS IMPORTANT ALONGSIDE WELL DESIGNED STIFFNESS

The Ultra-X Aluula airframe material weighs 82g per m², which is just over half the weight of standard dacron. 

True weight saving advantages continue in the performance canopy material, which weighs 46g, compared to the 55g sail cloth used in the standard construction Enduro V5. 

The Enduro V5 Ultra-X leaves our factory on average 17% lighter than the standard V5 model. When you consider all our kites are naturally Born Light, these are large gains and each percentage point weight saving translates powerfully into the super-tuned Ultra-X design.

ENDURO V5 / ENDURO V5 ULTRA-X HANDLING AND PERFORMANCE COMPARISON 

The exotic performance materials in the Enduro V5 Ultra-X add to the production cost, so this model has a higher price, but the reward is increased speed, more low-end power alongside top end control and greater feedback. Please see the wind and range of use charts below for comparisons.  

You should also note that, like a performance carbon road bike, the Ultra-X model needs just a bit more care to not scuff the material on the beach, as it’s more susceptible to careless abrasion.
