Premium Freeride Experience

Pimped to a shiny new level, the RS+ V2 is like a top-performing racing car that’s light, direct and powerful. Combining the core DNA of the RS with our innovative Dynea Tex material, the RS+ offers a premium high-performance freeride experience.

New for V2

Version 2 has been refined even further with more efficient force distribution and an improved yet stable low end. The bar pressure has been reduced while maintaining direct feedback, and the turning characteristics are more harmonised throughout the wind range. The RS+ V2 has impressive predictability overall and will surpass your flying experience.

Superior Dynea Tex fabric

Featured uniquely in the RS+, our superior Dynea Tex fabric outperforms regular Dacron with a higher tear and tensile strength that is up to 32 times stronger. Dynea Tex is also 30% lighter than traditional Dacron and other normal materials used in inflatable kites. By weaving a complex structure of ultra-strong Dyneema fibres, Dynea Tex is the optimum balance between responsiveness, lightweight and long-term performance.

Less deformation and more direct​

The XT Light material featured in the struts of the RS+ has been designed to reduce weight even further. It gives the right amount of stiffness for the frame structure yet will allow enough twist when needed. The increased structural rigidity supercharges the responsiveness in the kite. Less deformation and more direct and precise flying characteristics have been achieved as a result.

RS+ will upgrade your Session

Infused with superior materials and technology, the RS+ will upgrade your session to VIP with exceptional advancement in freeride potential.

The RS+ reacts instantly to steering impulses to immediately turn tightly on demand. Sheer grunt power is generated throughout the turning arc to maximise any boost.

  • Medium to high AR
  • Great upwind performance
  • Massive windrange

The RS+ covers a massive wind range with outstanding upwind performance. Even in light wind, you can sheet-in and go or boost impressive airs.

  • Medium sweep
  • Grunty power
  • Long hangtime

The RS+ has maximised hangtime and yet is super versatile. Thanks to the medium swept wingtips precise bar feedback is delivered with extreme power development.

Technology

Eleveight kites are built with innovative and quality workmanship. Details are strategically designed for long lasting durability, while keeping the kite light and agile.

1/15

Our XT cloth has extremely high tenacity and is used in our inflatable structures to allow them to twist while balancing stability and stiffness. XT ensures high performance and is developed exclusively in partnership with Teijin, the leading supplier of sailcloth materials. It features a highly specialised UV-resistant coating and is woven to produce a structure that guarantees strength.

2/15

Our superior X4 canopy fabric is strong and tear-resistant to guarantee durability and lasting performance. X4 is engineered to be dynamic and developed exclusively in partnership with Teijin, the leading supplier of sailcloth materials. Made from the best 4×4 ripstop polyester yarn, X4 has less elongation and a high-temperature UV-resistant resin finish.

3/15

To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.

4/15

The large diameter of our valves and strut connectors ensures fast, easy inflation and deflation of your kite without the need for a hose connector.

5/15

Each Strut has a double strut head reinforcement to create a solid inflatable kite frame. This allows for optimum turning and smoother handling.

6/15

The short pulley-free 5-point bridle setup enhances the kite’s turning speed and agility. Your bar input is direct, while the risk of catching the wingtip is reduced.

7/15

The redesigned 3D bridle deflector has structural reinforcement covering the closing seam. It decreases the possibility of bridle wrap, making water starts easier and safer.

8/15

Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity (XT) cloth reinforcements eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.

9/15

A kite’s bladder is the core element of its inflatable structure so we use the toughest and lightest material available, made in Germany. Engineered specifically for kites, our material defines the kite’s weight and durability.

10/15

We help you rig your kite safely and avoid mixing up lines with the kook-proof front and backline connection points.

11/15

Fly the kite your way by easily switching between backline trim options with the pull-to-pull tags. Two steering line settings are available, allowing you to choose your turning speed and bar pressure.

12/15

A triple-reinforced closing seam along the leading edge makes it practically indestructible. The centre segments have stronger reinforcements as the material load is much higher compared to the smaller diameter of the wingtips.

13/15

Angled reinforcements along the trailing edge diffuse the load and strain on the canopy, making it more durable while improving kite stability and longevity.

14/15

Trim the kite according to your riding style and the wind conditions by switching between different bridle line turning settings. The pivot set-up makes the kite faster and offers more depower, while the tip set-up increases the turning radius and offers more power and grunt. All our kites have the standard middle set-up pre-selected to offer the best balance.

15/15

The load transition between the inflatable frame structure and the ripstop material is optimised for improved stability and durability. An extra layer of double ripstop sits between the inflatable structure and the X4 ripstop to protect the load.
