ULTIMATE BIG AIR KITE BY NORTH
Key Features
- Response 6-point bridle system to support the thinner airframe
- High-velocity ultra-thin bridles for reduced drag and faster flying
- Contoured PTP2 Aerodynamic Profile Transition Panels
- Boost high lift profile for incredible upwind ability and massive boosting performance
- Higher aspect ratio for snappier response and dynamic recovery
- FORM draft-forward profile for stability, especially when overpowered
Description
The 2026 Orbit Ultra is the fastest and most reactive Orbit yet, completely re-engineered for riders who demand the ultimate in height, speed and control. Built with the new N-U80 Composite Airframe, the kite is lighter overall and delivers smoother, more responsive steering and improved bar feedback.
Its ultra-thin leading edge and struts, combined with a 6-point bridle system and high-velocity bridle lines, create a faster, more forward-flying kite with a more direct feel and greater aerodynamic efficiency.
The forward and cambered profile ensures stability and control in overpowered conditions, while the slightly higher aspect ratio compared to the Orbit provides snappier response, more dynamic recovery and incredible boosting potential.
Tech Features
N-U80 Composite UPE Airframe
An ultra-strong and lightweight UHMWPE weave combined with an internal PET laminate. This structure provides directional stiffness with torsional flexibility, allowing progressive twisting for earlier response and lighter steering input.
Low Drag Slim Leading Edge
The thinner leading edge improves aerodynamic efficiency, resulting in faster flying speed, more direct turning and stronger vertical lift. The reduced diameter also increases loop speed, helping the kite fly forward and catch riders faster during loops.
FORM – Draft Forward Profile
The Orbit Ultra features a forward and cambered profile that delivers consistent stability across a wide wind range, especially when riding in overpowered conditions.
Aerodynamic Contoured PTP2
A zigzag-shaped transition panel reduces tension along the seams and smooths the canopy profile. This design creates a cleaner aerodynamic transition from the leading edge to the canopy.
Energetic Feel & Increased Depower
The six bridle points support the slimmer leading edge while maintaining the rigidity of the lighter airframe. This ensures stable, controlled response and reliable performance, particularly in high wind conditions.
Ultrathin High Velocity Bridle
The thinner, low-drag primary bridles attached to the leading edge are lighter and reduce aerodynamic drag. They help balance the additional bridle points required to support the slimmer airframe.
Boost High Lift Profile
With a slightly higher aspect ratio than the standard Orbit, the Orbit Ultra flies faster, responds quicker to steering input and delivers powerful vertical lift with dynamic recovery for big air riding.
