Lithium V12 Kite

Performance & Feel

The Lithium sits in the middle of Airush's range as their all-round freeride kite, the one built to do a bit of everything well. The 3 strut delta-hybrid platform is what makes that possible giving a wide wind range, quick and precise steering, and easy relaunch. 

The V3.2 Bridle System keeps the kite steering even when fully depowered, which is what gives it that wide, usable wind range with plenty of depower on tap. The bridle attachment points on the leading edge and the V pulleys keep the steering light while still letting you feel where the kite is. If you want to change that feel, the rear line adjustment at the wingtips takes no time to change.  Set towards the leading edge for more bar pressure and a steadier, slower turn, or back towards the trailing edge for lighter bar pressure and faster steering.

Heavy-duty Dacron leading edge with Gradient Load Technology and double stitching at the bridle points takes the higher loads, Kevlar sits at the critical wear points for strength without the weight, and Airush bumpers along the leading edge take the abrasion of rough launches and shorebreak. The SPS valve and Fast Bladder Inflation gets the kite pumped up nice and quick.
