Kite Pro Series Xa/r 2018
11m² ($2,690)
They have been designed with a single goal: provide the most performance for racers. It is the most aerodynamic efficient kite with the highest lift to drag ratio.
To achieve this goal, ENATA designers used Fluid Dynamics simulations and optimisations and conducted long testing campaigns with our team of professional riders at numerous competitions to refine the design and the settings of the kite. Kite bar and lines are not included.
BUILT TO PERFORM
As with all of the ENATA Kite Pro Series products, the X a/r is definitely a kite for the racing addict.
PRODUCT DESIGN
High cell density
The Xa/r is the only one on the market with 67 cells (for options of 11m² and above).
This allows a very high aspect ratio whilst retaining sufficient structural rigidity.
The aspect ratio of the 9m² is 7.25, and reached 7.7 for 21m².
Optimized inlets
The inlets position has been optimised to deliver a higher pressure than conventional kites. This also contributes to the high rigidity of the kite, necessary for such extreme aspect ratios.
Turbo
Pulling the bar on the downwind during the last 5cm starts a Turbo that provides better power for the downwind. This is also a better and faster setting for the upwind.
Lines
ENATA Kite Pro Series X a/r lines are made from Liros DC that provide the best accuracy and almost no deformation with the thinnest lines for the drag and all the line are chosen depending on the load. They are composed of Dyneema which lasts longer.
Fabrics
The ENATA R&D department has tested several materials and use the VSF2 fabrics for the Xa/r kites.
This fabric provides the best performance, especially in the high wind ranges.
It also improves the waterproofness of the wing which gives a huge advantage when the kite is in the water.
