Orbit N-Max Pro 2027 Kite

Performance & Feel

The Orbit is North's dedicated big air kite, and the N-Max Pro version for 2027 is designed and made for boosting, looping and holding its shape when the wind gets strong and gusty. The 5-strut platform adds extra canopy support, keeping the profile steady at the top end and giving you more control over the kite even when conditions turn rowdy. Sizes run from 6m to 14m, covering the wind range serious big air riding demands.

For 2027, a slimmer leading edge and struts, supported by a new five-point bridle, keep the kite light without giving up rigidity, sharpening the turning and adding a more direct feel at the bar. A higher aspect ratio and a more forward, cambered profile add loft and hangtime, so the kite catches you cleanly and holds you up through a loop rather than dropping you early. DuraLite seam protection and Kevlar reinforced strut attachments keep the kite durable under the load that big air riding puts through it.

Key Features
