KITE PERSONALITY

KITE TECHNOLOGY
This premium fabric is designed with a high-density structure that uses high tenacity double-coated polyester yarn in a double ripstop configuration. The double coating protects the yarn as much as possible from UV and abrasion damage, ensuring that the canopy remains crisp and responsive for as long as possible. This exceptional material is used in conjunction with the Airush Load Frame, resulting in the ultimate combination of durability and performance.
The Gradient Subframe creates a more progressive load throughout the kite, greatly reducing strain on key stress points. We are able to optimize each model specifically for its use.
The new compact single pulley bridle is optimized for faster, more responsive steering and stability in extreme conditions. Giving you the best of both worlds, the bridle utilizes a stopper ball when sheeting in and steering giving you the fixed bridle experience with the benefit of a pulley that allows for greater depower when sheeting out.
Adjustment options vary by size – the larger size kites have more adjustment options than the smaller sizes.
Airush Bumpers are found throughout the leading edge of the kites to reduce wear and increase durability on rough surfaces. These bumpers are key for increasing the lifespan of Airush kites.
The oversized SPS valve (Single Point Inflation System) optimizes inflation and deflation. The Fast Bladder Inflation (FBI) features increased wall thickness and oversized diameter tubing, thus eliminating tube kink, reducing stress on your pump, and enabling quick and easy inflation.
Kevlar, found in bulletproof vests, is found throughout the Airush kites. These Kevlar Reinforcements are only put in the most critical areas to protect from wear, while still minimizing weight which affects the kite’s performance.
KITE COMPARISON
LIFT VS. RAZOR
Both 5-strut kites are designed as solid frames to support aggressive, powered riding. The high aspect and bridle system on the Lift are focused on jumping as high as possible with as much ease as possible, while the Razor is focused on freestyle, with sizes 10m and under, it is more jumping oriented while still maintaining the classic freestyle components.

The Lift v3 has a more stable character than its predecessor, which ensures faster stability. A thinner leading edge ensures that the Lift v3 flies more smoothly through the air and catches you faster after a loop or downloop, as well as boosting higher for big air!
