The Vegas, the choice of Freestyle world champions, is widely recognized as the ultimate performance kite for freestyle and wakestyle. It is favored by top riders around the globe. Whether you're looking to execute unhooked tricks or powerful kite loops, the Vegas will elevate your abilities beyond your expectations.
The handling of this kite is finely tuned to perfection. You can focus on your tricks without worrying about controlling the kite. Its exceptional maneuverability allows you to unhook, pop, and execute the latest moves effortlessly.
In today's kiteboarding scene, big air has become an integral part of the sport. The Vegas is designed to deliver powerful loops and big jumps, enabling you to mix up your riding and join forces with other riders on windy days.
One of the outstanding features of the Vegas is its intuitive power delay. After you initiate your trick, the lines go slack, providing the opportunity for multiple rotations.
This kite prioritizes lightweight design and superior performance. It incorporates materials like Trinity TX, which not only reduce its overall weight but also ensure excellent durability.
When it comes to freestyle performance, C kites are unmatched. Unlike hybrid-style kites that cater to a wider audience, the Vegas proudly remains a pure C kite.
The Vegas offers two different setups, allowing you to trim the kite according to your preferences. You can choose between a competition wakestyle setup or a setup ideal for freeriding and mega loops. Adapt the kite to the way you want to ride each day, whether it's unhooked tricks with maximum power delay or powerful loops with maximum power.
The Vegas boasts an impressive collection of championship victories. It has been the kite of choice for renowned champions like Mikaili Sol and Gianmaria Coccoluto, as well as progressive legends like Aaron Hadlow. Designed to excel at the highest level of freestyle performance, this kite is meant for the most demanding riders seeking the best.
The key to the Vegas's ongoing success lies in its power delay. This feature provides explosive pop and causes the kite lines to go slack after take-off, enabling you to execute the latest tricks effortlessly. The only limit is your own imagination.
For unhooked riding, there is no kite on the market that performs better than the Vegas. With its loaded 5th line and pure C kite shape, this kite is a powerful force waiting to be tamed.
Sometimes, the allure of big air and powerful loops takes over, pushing freestyle to the background. The Vegas is designed with this in mind, delivering an exhilarating ride with ample control and abundant power. Whether you choose to pull the trigger, send the kite, hang on, park the kite, load, edge, or pop, the choice is yours. Defy gravity in your own unique way with the Vegas.
Duotone, in collaboration with Teijin, the world's leading supplier of polyester fabrics and sail materials for marine sports, developed TRINITY TX. This exclusive 3x2 canopy material, only available from Duotone, outperforms other canopy materials in terms of durability and dynamic performance.
The combination of a 3x2 yarn configuration has proven to be the optimal solution for both performance and longevity, surpassing alternatives like 2x2 or 4x4 yarn solutions. TRINITY TX is built to withstand the test of time.
As kite geometry continues to improve, the canopy must also withstand increasing forces. Load-Distribution-Panels are utilized to spread these forces, ensuring that the kite maintains its shape even under extreme loads. This leads to a smoother and more consistent performance in any riding situation.
To minimize the risk of fatigue and distortion, as well as enhance steering smoothness, these pigtails distribute the load from the line connections to the kite.
The kook proof line connection points are designed to prevent accidental misconnections when rigging your kite, guaranteeing safety and preventing accidents.
The leading edges of all kites are fortified with a heavy-duty closing seam for exceptional durability. Dacron material, reinforced with self-sticky Insignia Tape and double stitching, ensures high resistance to tension and diagonal forces.
This construction allows for controlled distribution of forces between the strut and leading edge. Struts are seamlessly connected to the leading edge using flexible Dyneema lines, promoting higher canopy tension and a clean profile.
The Anti Snag webbing prevents the lines from tangling around the kite's tip, making waterstarts easier and increasing safety.
To reduce wear and create a more streamlined kite profile, the trailing edge is narrower and made with a lighter combination of materials.
