The inspiration behind the Alliance originates from the Torch, with a flatter arc for a better low end, it utilizes Geo-Tech and Sigma to provide friendly all terrain performance and improved depower capabilities. Unhooked riding, freestyle, kiteloops, cruising, wind raqnge, and easy handling all benefit from the perfect blend of the technical featrures and advantages of Geo-Tech and Sigma. no pulleys and the benefits of the 5-line Shift System... equal the Alliance. *Colors may vary]]> DESIGN:

SIGMA SERIES

The core concept of Naish Sigma kites is a radically re-shaped leading edge that moves much of the center canopy area behind the tow point. The result is a kite that delivers significant performance improvements in 4 key areas :

1) Overall stability
2) Bar pressure and feel
3) Turning
4) Relaunch

The Sigma design produces a balanced, linear power band combined with bar pressure that remains light but steady through a wide range of trim angles, creating a nearly perfect feedback loop between rider and kite.
]]> HELIX https://www.forward.gr/product/helix-3/ Fri, 05 Jun 2020 18:13:42 +0000 https://www.forward.gr/index.php/product/helix-3/ Naish Helix defines the evolution of technologies to adapt to the large depower range required in modern kites. If you are looking for the one kite to work in the widest range of conditions for all styles of riding, look no further than the Helix. Stability, turning, wind range, jumping, upwind ability, free riding, kitelooping, speed, freestyle, waveriding, easy water relaunch, all benefit from the engineering innovations incorporated into Geo-Tech and Sigma. The Sigma outline provides two significant advantages, first it changes the center of effort in the kite such that this point does not change during the depower range, and secondly Sigma allows the kites wingtip to twist in a manner that initiates lightening quick turning. *Colors may vary]]> DESIGN:

GEO-TECH

By incorporating straight segments in the leading edge from strut to strut, canopy tension is kept constant. Wind pressure is not necessary to maintain the canopy profile and at low angles of attack Geo-Tech keeps the canopy from collapsing. By maintaing a consistent aerodynamic leading edge Geo-Tech provides a wrinkle free canopy, large depower range and stability at broad angles of attack where historically kites with a large depower range have experienced distortion. Combined with Sigma shape, Geo-Tech creates the most precise and controllable kites ever, which maintain this feeling and control through an amazingly broad wind range.

New Direct response Wing tips

The Angle of Attack on the wingtips has been increased from the previous Naish Cult to keep them more actively engaged. On the new Naish Cult, when bar inputs are added, the wingtip instantly reacts and produces drag while the opposite wingtip instantly accelerates and creates quicker and more responsive turning. Relaunch is also optimized as the lines hang to the inside of the kite and have less chance of becoming wrapped around the wingtip.

For this year, it has been totally redesigned to provide super fast turning, superior glide, great upwind ability, easier water relaunch, more direct bar feel, and a 5th line friendly option. These improvements have been achieved by reducing the number of struts, lowering the aspect ratio, developing a new bridle platform and reworking the arc; making it the first ever GeoTech Generated C-Shaped arc. We have also incorporated the Low Drag Wingtip and Direct Response Steering technologies into our new wingtip design. To complete the Helix line, we have added two new sizes. The Helix is for intermediate to advanced riders who seek the highest all-terrain performance, and those looking to course race. *Colors may vary]]> Design
