KITE PERSONALITY
Versatile all around, easy to ride, and light at the bar, the Lithium is predictable and stable in the air, and has incredible park ability.
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.
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 powerful three strut delta hybrid design enjoys a huge wind range, and combined with the wingtip shape and strut layout, ensures the quickest response through the window as well as instant relaunch.
The Airush Lithium kite features two bar pressure adjustment settings.
The Lithium is equipped with the V3 Bridle System. The key benefit of the V3 bridle system is that the kite maintains steering even when completely de-powered and increased bar feedback throughout the wind range. The positioning of the bridle attachment points on the LE of the kite, combined with the V pulleys result in constant steering feedback with a direct enough feel to know where your kite is at all times while riding.
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 wearing while still minimizing weight which affects the kites performance.

KITE COMPARISON
LITHIUM vs. SESSION
The Lithium features a longer center chord for more parked power and bar drive, with more sweep in the wingtip for improved relaunch.
The square wingtips on the Session create a kite that pivots more, while the reduced sweep creates a more direct input.
