North Vegas 2014 Kite Review
Kite Features
Over the years the Vegas has proven to be one of the most reliable wakestyle and freestyle kites. Well, this legacy continues in 2014, as the new Vegas boosts an improved performance that will blow your mind. The kite is able to deliver the right power when slag exactly when you need it. It is designed to take your skills to a new level and make you a better rider. It is available in a wide size range in order to cover a huge wind range.
The Vegas offers a unique blend of power, speed and control, mixed into one versatile, high depower C-kite platform, so there is no wonder that it is the weapon of choice for many top freestylers and wakestylers. It has the best pop in the North range, offering extreme height in jumps and powered tricks. At the same time it features multiple tuning options, so you can set it up for wakestyle, freeride and freestyle, depending on your choice. This can all be done through simple pigtail adjustments.
A new enhancement on the 2014 Vegas is the power delay. After the pop the kite has no power allowing you perform tricks without the kite pulling. The Vegas has an aggressive lift when loaded and powers through loops with fast speeds. It is extremely dynamic and offers you a direct and precise control. The new Vegas offers one of the best unhooked performances ever. It features the North Loaded 5th Line, a system which assures a direct bar feel, as well as reactive steering when the kite is powered or depowered.
The Vegas uses Cam Battens that assure a deeper profile and make the kite more powerful. The deeper canopy combined with a round entry profile gives better stall resistance and superior hangtime. These battens also reduce drag and improve overall stability. The kite is powered through the simple and efficient North Lazy Pump system which assures quick and easy inflation and deflation.
Control Bar
The new 5th Element Trust Bar is designed with focus on safety and reliability. It has been reinvented to offer a unique and complete kiteboarding experience. It is the perfect control system for all riders. The comfort, control and easy handling of the ride are taken to new levels with it.
