Available tests mainly cover the 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Hyper versions. It is a five-strut big-air kite delivering strong lift, long hangtime and excellent upwind performance. Later versions are lighter, quicker and easier to loop, but the kite still rewards experienced riders who are comfortable generating speed and actively managing the bar.
Strengths
- Powerful lift and generous hangtime
- Excellent upwind ability
- Very rigid and stable airframe in strong wind
- Later versions turn faster and relaunch more positively after loops
Weaknesses
- Requires technique to get moving in lighter wind
- Less forgiving than a conventional freeride kite
- Sensitive to trim and bar position
- Not the most suitable choice for beginners
Who for
For intermediate to advanced riders focused on high boosting, hangtime and progressive kite loops rather than maximum simplicity or all-round versatility.
