Eleveight kite RS+

Design of the Eleveight Kite RS

Continuous investment in development has made the Eleveight kite RS profile even more efficient, especially in lighter winds. Its super aerodynamic delta hybrid shape gives it incredible capabilities. With just two sizes, it can cover the entire wind range typically encountered at spots.

The aspect ratio (the ratio of length to width) of the kite is medium to large, making the profile more efficient. An aggressive angle adds extra power while maintaining stability, making it suitable for riders of all skill levels. Three strong struts ensure the kite’s rigidity and stability at all times.

Pure Joy on the Water

The kite feels highly responsive, flying forward swiftly, which makes it fast and responsive during turns, allowing you to easily control the kite during jumps. The Kite Eleveight RS is a truly unique all-around machine known for its dynamic speed, massive hangtime, and effective wind flying.

It won’t disappoint whether you’re riding waves or performing freestyle tricks, no matter how gusty the wind or turbulent the sea. With the RS, you can conquer stormy winds, break your height records, and enjoy to the fullest at any spot.

X4 Fabric

Eleveight uses superior and stronger X4 fabric made from 4×4 ripstop polyester threads. This fabric is highly resistant to abrasions and wear, ensuring kites maintain their optimal performance for much longer. X4 fabric was developed in collaboration with the Japanese brand Teijin, a leader in sail material development. X4 has minimal undesired stretch and is coated with high-temperature and UV-resistant resin.

Bonded Seams

Bonded seams ensure the kite’s durability, making it withstand any kite drop.

Quick Flow Valve

A larger main valve diameter and connections on the struts allow for quick inflation and deflation of the kite, requiring less effort for pumping.

Strut Force Distribution

Each strut has double reinforcement, creating a highly rigid kite frame. This rigidity affects the kite’s turning, stability, and maneuverability.

Short Bridle

Short bridles (cord pyramids to which main lines are attached) improve turning and kite agility by eliminating tangling. The shorter lines reduce the likelihood of pyramid entanglement around the kite’s corner.

3D Bridle Deflector

Further reducing the risk of line entanglement around the kite’s corners is the 3D bridle deflector system at the tip – structural reinforcement of the rear edge.

Fabric Protectors

Strategically placed fabric protectors reduce fabric wear at critical points.

Inner Elements Made of German PU Material

The kite’s inner bladder is a crucial element of its inflatable structure. Eleveight uses the strongest and lightest material on the market, manufactured in Germany. This material is specially designed for kite use.

Secure Connection

To avoid incorrect bar attachment, the front and rear connection points are different, preventing confusion.

Easy Adjustments

Various settings at the rear edge allow you to customize the kite to your preferences. Adjusting these settings changes the kite’s turning speed and bar pressure.

Leading Edge Dynamic Super Seam

The front edge of the kite is nearly indestructible due to triple-reinforced stitching on the main tube of the kite. Central segments have stronger reinforcements, as this area experiences higher material stress than the edges where the tube circumference is smaller.

Lightweight Reinforcements on the Rear Edge

Fabric reinforcements on the rear edge distribute the load caused by kite flutter over a larger surface area, reducing fabric stress and improving kite stability and durability.

Pyramid Adjustments

Different pyramid attachment points allow you to tailor the kite’s behavior to your style and the day’s conditions. Adjusting pivot settings increases kite responsiveness and provides more depower, while tip settings increase the kite’s turning radius, offering more power and a consistent pull.

2-Step Load Transfer

Additional layers of ripstop material optimize load transfer between the inflatable structure and ripstop fabric for stability and durability.

XT Fabric on Inflatable Parts

XT fabric is highly durable and is exclusively used on inflatable structures. This fabric allows for structure flex while ensuring stability and strength. XT fabric is also developed in collaboration with the Japanese brand Teijin.

“We’ve pushed the RS DNA to the furthest limits of technology using top-notch fabric to give even better performance. The resulting RS+ offers a superior ride that feels like the RS on steroids!” –Peter Stiewe Kite Designer
