Gaastra Jet 2013 Kite Review

Kite Features

The Jet is Gaastra’s answer for all your racing needs. This kite is engineered with special focus on speed, power and control. It is built using a no compromise design that pushes the rider to a higher level in racing. Although the Jet is a racer, and a powerful one, it is still easy to use and feels comfortable. As the Gaastra design team says, “Based on the racing requirements the Jet performance is joy for everybody.”

The Jet’s main characteristics are speed, rapid acceleration and superior handling. These features make it a perfect racing machine, but also a reliable freeride kite. To make this kite a race winner, the Gaastra team has made sure that it offers superior low and high end. The new arc with a dynamic profile assures a fast glide and improved aerodynamic performance.

The great thing about this kite is that it offers power on demand. It generates a huge amount of power when required, but it is able to shut it off in an instant if needed. The Adaptive Tune technology allows the rider to set up the kite just the way he need it in terms of speed, turning, bar pressure and more.

The kite is operated through a Logic V bridle system with no pulleys. All bridles are fixed to provide a super stable and clean arc design. Anti Tangle Webbing at the strut ends prevents the lines catching a strut end. Multiple line setup options beside the standard one on the steering lines, so it is easy to adapt the kite to your personal style. A full Dacron frame provides unmatched resistance to wear and heavy loads. The kite is IKA registered.
