The 2021 Hyper – Go big or go home
Elevating sensation.
This kite is hyped up. High performance. Big confidence. Power. Muscle. No hassle. Emotion. Devotion. Addiction. Perfection. Pure power. Rush hour.
Meet the long awaited king of the air. This rocket launcher of a kite takes you to the moon and back. From zero to hero. In split seconds. No jokes. It delivers.
With the strongest 5 strut kite frame we have ever made, the Hyper is rock solid. No fuzz in the air, just pure lift, glide and smooth touch down. With Triplex Ripstop, it pulls. It pulls a lot, like a train.
Medium bar pressure gives power on demand and ultimate control for this big air boosting machine.
High aspect, no respect. Pull to play, accelerate. Oh damn, hit the break, Load up, get high. Let fly. Come down. Retry.
Hyper news:
With the 2021 Hyper we continued improving what has been a trend in kites in recent years: strength to weight ratio. The 2021 Hyper 12m kite is 0,4 kg lighter than in 2020 yet the strength and rigidity of the air frame and canopy are the same. The 2021 Hyper 12m weights 4 kgs or 0,33 kg per square meter, which is very light for a five strut kite. This year, we also bring a light wind version of the Hyper in 15m size. Incredibly, the 2021 Hyper 15m weights 4,4 kg only, which is the same weight as the 2020 Hyper 12m (4,4 kg).
The reduced weight and same strength were achieved by:
A new bridle system which reinforces the kite better and adds to strength of the air frame.
Reduced number of panels on the kite. Again, we joined more panels together.
New lighter trailing edge with two layers of Ripstop instead of heavyweight material.
In addition, we moved the back lines attachments directly to the leading edge, which puts less pressure on the canopy and creates a much more direct response and faster turning of the kite.
The leading edge seam was reinforced with an additional layer of Dacron, but at the same time, we reduced Dacron covering the struts on the canopy, as there is now less pressure on the canopy.
As a cherry on the top, we introduced a new Airlock valve which is simple, quick and secure to use.
The reduced weight of the kite, new bridle and new back line attachment points position result in much better relaunch, better low end, less bar pressure and faster turning. These aspects were all improved, while the hangtime and lift of the Hyper stayed untouched and we all know how amazing it is.
