| The U-Turn Nitro Evo2 has an impressive pedigree.
In 1998 Ernst Strobl designed the AiREA Raptor, arguably the
most significant development in race kite performance. This
was followed almost immediately by his Raptor II that brought
stability and ease of use to the raw power and speed of the
original. The U-Turn Nitro Evo2 is the logical evolution from
these classic designs Nitro Evo2 is built to be
the best without compromise. Only materials of the highest
specification are used and the paraglider standard construction
is second to none, with double stitching throughout and added
reinforcement at all critical points
The design borrows heavily from the latest paraglider development
and is the most sophisticated of any race kite in terms of
aspect ratio, number of cells, internal structure and bridle
optimisation. The result is the smoothest profile in the sky,
offering top performance that is still very user friendly
in the hands of an experienced flyer
The aerodynamic efficiency of the Nitro Evo2 can be surprising.
It’s not unusual to find yourself overpowered at speed
on a reach, only to find that when you stop to come back there’s
barely enough wind to keep the kite in the air. The bigger
sizes in particular are capable of seemingly ‘magical’
propulsion in virtually no wind
If you take racing and going fast seriously, or you’re
the type that just needs to have the best toys, then the U-Turn Nitro Evo2 is the kite for you |
