North Orbit 2023

[Jeremey76]

Leading edge has a different color. And The yellow color scheme is back

[Havre]

Faster and more reactive? Other brands should learn a thing or two from North

Not even better upwind? Kinda disappointing....

Brands are getting lazy

[Leon van Bergen]

Some news for the new North Orbit 2023?

Thanks

My guess;

It will be even lighter than last years model
It will be even faster than last years model
It will have slightly better low end than last years model
It will have slightly better high end than last years model
It will have slightly more durability than last years model
It will have a thinner leading edge than last years model

We didn't degrade it so it's our best Orbit yet. Oh and uhh, It will be much more expansive than last years model

I think the 2022 Orbit looks really nice (much better than the 2021 - I think the text looks silly on those with the contrasting colour). I like how clean they are. Not sure why they want to mess that up, but I won't judge until I see them of course.

Bringing back the yellow is cool.

Agree on the colors, 2021 yellow on blue or blue on red - way to ruin nice looking kites. Yellow was the best color

The yellow one is a brighter yellow than The 2020 model The struts are black.

Think you got this wrong. It´s the new kite. The new kite is always so much better in every single aspect that we cannot even imagine until we buy it.

I think it was three years ago (2019 that is) that I tricked a few kite friends that I had bought the coolest new stuff and they could try it. I launched a 2008 Royal Era and made a on water switch, so they couldn´t see that it was worn to pieces more or less. Every single one of the three that tested it really liked it and started to talk about how much kites have improved in terms of lift, feel and upwind ability. And it for sure looked like they had a good time... Until I took the kite down and told them that they just flew an eleven year old kite in a shape ready for the dumpster

They've noticeably changed a few things. Side by side sitting on the beach it's pretty easy to tell.

It will be even lighter than last years model - yes
It will be even faster than last years model - noticeably yes, like half a size quicker
It will have slightly better low end than last years model - probably if it's lighter
It will have slightly better high end than last years model - yes
It will have slightly more durability than last years model - no idea
It will have a thinner leading edge than last years model - no idea


I will definitely be swapping out my 10 and 11m this year. I can't wait.

Good one

I never flew a Royal, but I heard good things about them.
