Airush Ultra V5 Team Edition

THE ALL NEW ultra v5 TEAM EDITION.

The Lift Team Edition carries through the same great kite attributes in terms of flight characterstics and shape, but incorporates the Airush Ho’okipa technology.

LOAD FRAME.

The Airush Load Frame has been the key to setting the ultimate benchmark in durability without compromising on weight. Ultra-high modulus yarns carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch, and increasing long-term performance. The Load Frame is further enhanced by WebTech which is featured in the areas traditionally occupied by Dacron. This enables us to minimize or completely remove the heavier fabric and utilize the ballistic high-modulus web fibers instead – increasing strength and minimizing weight.

WEBTECH.

WebTech minimizes or replaces the traditional Dacron reinforcement by channelling the broader loads into the Load Frame through a web ‘subframe’ of ultra-high molecular polyethylene (ultra-high modulus). This is featured in key areas such as the primary attachment points on the leading edge or the rear attachment points, while also being used to support structural components such as the center strut.

HO’OKIPA ULTRA PE.

Developed in partnership with Challenge Sailcloth, this unique Ultra PE leading edge and strut composite material is 25% lighter and 10x stronger than traditional fabrics. This allows for 50% higher pressure, creating increased stiffness combined with a thinner leading edge. The result is supercharged responsiveness coupled with sublime handling, and of course the long-term performance you expect from Airush.

HALOWEAVE.

Haloweave is the next generation of lightweight woven polyesters designed to be used in areas of the kite that require either increased durability, when replacing a traditional canopy cloth, or reduced weight where replacing a traditional Dacron. This new capability to fine tune all areas of the kite’s construction create truly stronger and lighter kites, resulting in enhanced riding experience.
