Lithium V14 Kite

Performance & Feel

The Lithium sits in the middle of Airush's range as their all-round freeride kite, built to do a bit of everything well rather than chase one discipline. The 3 strut delta-hybrid platform is the reason it can: a wide wind range, quick and precise steering, and the easy relaunch. It's light and intuitive to fly, predictable and stable in the air, and as at home drifting down the line as it is ripping on flat water.

The V14's headline is that completely new frame. It holds its shape better as the wind builds, keeping the kite stable and the bar direct in conditions where an older frame would start to flex. Paired with it is the new Compact Single Pulley Bridle, tuned for faster, more precise steering with more stability when jumping. It blends the direct feel of a fixed bridle with the extra depower of a pulley, so there's plenty of range to sheet out and dump power when you need to.

It's built to last the conditions an all-rounder lives in. The Technoforce D2 canopy resists UV and abrasion to stay crisp over time, a heavy-duty Dacron leading edge takes the higher loads, and Kevlar reinforcement sits at the key wear points for strength without the weight. The result is a kite that's forgiving enough to learn upwind riding and your first jumps on, with the range and response to keep rewarding you as you start boosting and looping.
