OVERVIEW OF THE KITE
TX-Light Single Skin Concept
The single skin concept has high buoyancy profiles and a very
ecient depower. Reducing its weight to a minimum brings
advantages in terms of stability, drift and light wind handling.
Single skins allow the use of our B-Safe system and absorb
hard impacts. The excellent longevity of these kites is not only
due to the concept but by their material. High ageing and tear
resistance, three ripstop threads and enormous rigidity at only
33g / m² make the TX-Light the perfect fabric. The leading edge
consists of 44g / m² DLX+ cloth, protects against abrasion and
sharp-edged objects. Every material optimizes a specific area of
the kite. We use UV-resistant surfaces and air-tight coatings to
absorbent properties to improve airflow when wet.
Hybrid Wingtip Technology
The Hybrid Wingtip Technology consists of two self-inflating
cells on each side of the kite. The openings are protected with
mesh material to prevent the entry of snow or dirt. Both wing-
tips have our proven drainage system. The more ecient aero-
dynamics allow for tighter turning with constant pull, as well
as increased backstall resistance. Through that, the wingtip is
only flapping when you depower the kite. The bar feedback is
considerably improved. The kite feels sporty and gives you a
confidence-inspiring feeling.
B-Safe System
The B-Safe System is a (extra optional Y-) line configuration
that slides along the B-level through eyelets. After activating
the quick release, the bar moves 4 m up on the 5th line. The
kite is reefed horizontally in the middle and reduces the wing
span to a minimum. The kite comes down gently and flags out.
After reactivating the quick release system, you can launch the
kite through the power zone. The B-Safe System is ideal for self-
landing or for taking breaks.
Camber Trim System
Bridle levels of the kite are controlled by the mixer, a pulley sys-
tem which modulates the angle of attack and the profile camber.
The mixer features the two-ring camber trim system. Moving the
rings changes the relationship between the B or C level relative
to the A level. The profile of the foil kite can be trimmed to be
either flat or curved.
