AIR AND AIR PRO
LIGHTWIND PERFORMANCE - REDEFINED
Building on decades of lightwind expertise, we are presennting a completely new lightwind kite model – available in two distinct constructions, yet united by one goal: maximum efficiency, riding pleasure, and performance when the wind alone isn’t enough.
Whether you're cruising in light air, freeriding with flow, or sending serious Big Air – the all-new Air and Air Pro open up an entirely new lightwind experience. Lead developer Frank Ilfrich and his team evolved the design of the Pace to unlock true lightwind potential. The result: a highly efficient high aspect ratio shape for superior lift and upwind performance, an agile 3-strut frame, and a fixed 14-point bridle system for ultra-direct and precise steering.
Air Pro
The New Benchmark in Lightwind Performance
The Air Pro is built from the ultra-stiff and radically lightweight Aluula Airframe – allowing near-zero deformation and an extremely responsive feel. Every steering impulse is instantly translated, and its aerodynamic efficiency takes lightwind performance to the next level. Thanks to its slimmer leading edge and struts, the Air Pro flies faster, drives harder, and is targeted at ambitious riders chasing real Big Air – even in winds below 20 knots.
Air
The Comfortable Lightwind Allrounder
Crafted from ExoTex 2 in the leading edge and ExoTex Light in the struts, the Air combines the strength and efficiency of these proven materials with outstanding ease of use. Its smooth turning and playful handling are remarkable, especially for its size. With its wide wind range, high durability, and intuitive flying characteristics, the Air is the ideal choice for beginners, progressing riders, and anyone looking for control, accessibility, and fun in lightwind conditions.
Linear Power Delivery. Effortless Relaunch. Massive Wind Range.
Both kites feature the robust and low-stretch CoreTex 2 canopy, ensuring a smooth, linear power curve and outstanding control. A slightly more swept leading edge and compact tips improve relaunch. The Air and Air Pro deliver impressive low-end performance while covering a remarkably wide wind range.
The Best of Both Worlds
The Air and Air Pro combine the strengths of the former XR LW and Nexus LW, positioning themselves right in between. As a 3-struter, the Air is noticeably more agile than the XR and more powerful than the Nexus. Thanks to its lower weight – around 200g less than its sibling – the Air Pro offers the best low-end of both. Still, the Air also shines with excellent drive, intuitive handling, and easy relaunch, making it the go-to lightwind companion for progressing riders and laid-back freeride sessions.
