RACE TO THE SKIES

Go much bigger and faster in less wind. This is THE gateway for advanced freeriders to enjoy even more epic sessions while rediscovering the awesome sensation of kite power that got them hooked in the beginning.

We’ve taken the most powerful elements of race kite design and re-tuned them to suit a wider range of riders, delivering rocket-fuelled big air twin-tip performance and fluid, high-speed riding on a hydrofoil.

Developed from the R1 V4 and Chrono DNA, the Mach 1 sets a new benchmark for freeride performance possibilities, especially in lighter winds.

15 & 18M

Very powerful light wind kites, still capable of a great big air experience.

11 & 13M

Offering more manoeuvrability and playfulness. Superb big air in lightwinds, huge hangtimes and extremely wide wind range.

7 & 9M

These sizes are more based on the Chrono lower aspect design, compared to the bigger Mach 1 sizes, which have the higher-aspect R1 V4 shape. Being smaller, the 7 and 9m are for use in stronger winds and have a crazy ability to manage power. They also offer more manoeuvrability for freeride hydrofoiling. So these retain the Chrono’s smaller size, superb ease- of-use and kite looping ability.

WHY HAS THE MACH1 REPLACED THE CHRONO IN OUR RANGE?

Given that our latest high-performance hydrofoil race kite, the R1 V5, is now highly specialised for hydrofoil racing with a two-line setup, minimal overhead lift and is built with ultra-lightweight materials, we saw an opportunity to merge race kite performance with freeride durability. We wanted to create a robust machine that excels in big air while maintaining the efficiency that tube kites can’t match.

When the R1 V4 was still current, many advanced twin-tip riders were choosing its high-aspect design for big air and hangtime.

Recognising the demand for a freeride foil kite with race-like performance, we took the DNA of the R1 V3 & V4 models and re-tuned things — removing race-specific constraints while reinforcing durability and enhancing big air capability.

BRAKE LINE SETTINGS

Three settings allow you to fine tune kite feedback and bar pressure to your liking. It is quick and easy to change with no extra lines to add or remove.

1: HYDROFOIL/SHORT LINES

The hydrofoil/short lines setting is the upper knot on the PB1 line. Recommended for hydrofoiling and when using lines less than 21m. This setting decreases bar pressure and offers a longer lifting period, more suitable for foiling manoeuvres.

2: ALL-ROUND

The All-Round setting is the middle knot on the PB1 line (factory setting). This offers an ideal balance in performance and feeling for most riders and conditions.

3: TWIN-TIP

The twin-tip setting is the lower knot on the PB1 line.
This setting increases bar pressure and offers a sharper, more direct feeling, perfect for twin-tip riding. If you prefer a heavier and direct feel this could be the setting for you.
