Fuel Kite / Kite Backpack / Bladder Repair Kit / Quick-Start Guide
The Fuel is the first C kite to employ our new Nitrous 4 point pulleyless bridle system. This system allows you to run your Fuel two different ways. First, is in Nitrous mode with the bridle installed. Second, is in direct connect mode with the bridle removed. The first thing dedicated hard core riders will notice about the 2015 Fuel is the bridle comes installed, as engineered by our designer Tony Logosz. According to Tony, “The Fuel in Nitrous mode will deliver explosive pop, massive travel, and for the first time, you get incredible range. Nothing is sacrificed with looping speed or turnability. Basically it makes the Fuel fly like an RPM on Steroids.
NITROUS BRIDLE
