Re-engineered for maximum height, speed and control
The North Orbit Ultra 2027 represents a complete re-engineering for high-performance riders seeking maximum height, speed and control. North’s proprietary N-U80 Airframe technology delivers a lighter kite with smoother, more responsive steering and superior bar feedback for extreme boosting and looping across an expanded wind range.
An ultra-thin leading edge with reduced diameter cuts drag, while a 5-strut performance design with progressive torsional flexibility keeps the kite snappy and dynamic through recovery. A higher aspect ratio sharpens response, and six bridle points paired with high-velocity bridle lines result in a faster, more forward-flying kite.
