![]() Use this setting for light bar pressure and a slightly more direct feel in the steering. Setting B is the factory setting your kite will be delivered with. Setting A is ideal for lighter riders, and for cruising in lighter winds, when you don’t load up the kite fully. Less sensitive and the least responsive, this setting gives the kite a lighter more forgiving feeling. It requires less strength to turn the kite, but you need to pull the bar a greater distance to steer. It is the lightest bar pressure or steering impulse option. Setting A – closest to the wingtip, is one of the two original settings. The Orbit has your back when the rules of gravity don't apply. It is ideal for heavier riders on smaller kites and boosts wingtip support on those crazy 40knot + days. This new fourth setting gives you the confidence to loop the kite even lower. We've also introduced two additional bar pressure options so you can choose from a lighter, more forgiving feeling in cruise mode, right through to ultra-direct steering with shorter depower travel in megaloop mode. We've constructed the leading edge and struts in our lighter N-Dure Dacron to save significantly more weight without compromising strength or durability. ![]() The lighter the kite, the faster the steering, the more lift it creates, and the higher you jump. We've reduced the kite's overall weight with lighter bladders in larger sizes and introduced a new 2-ply canopy material reinforcement on the trailing edge. We've made small structural refinements to smooth out the canopy, optimizing the profile for less drag, faster forward speed and smoother turning. Slightly refined bridling means the kite feels more stable and forgiving in overpowered, gusty conditions yet retains its ability to fly forward and catch you in kite loops. At North, we understand what riders want in a performance, big air kite. For 2023 the Orbit feels even more responsive in all conditions. Without changing the DNA of the kite, we've engineered it to feel smoother, lighter, faster, and even more predictable in the unpredictable. The Orbit rockets you upwind fast, with effortless steering, extreme boosting and hangtime guaranteed to take your breath away. Our iconic premier 5-strut kite delivers incredible top-end control and allows you to hold down more power than any other kite per square metre. Committing to overpowered airs and megaloops in gusty conditions demands an unwavering trust in your kite.
