The most Premium Construction in the Airush Range, the Lithium uses the Teijin Technoforce D2 Double Ripstop Canopy, alongside their exclusive Airush Load Frame with WebTech. This combination makes for a kite that’s by far the strongest kite Airush have ever designed. For riders who spend countless hours on the water, the Lithium is the one!
The Single Point System on the Lithium Core features an XL Boston Inflate/Deflate Valve, making inflation effortless. The V3.2 Bridle improves the steering when overpowered or sheeted out, ideal for wave riding or riding powered up.
The focus of Wingtip and Strut Layout, in conjunction with the Delta Hybrid Design, ensures the quickest response through the air as well as instant relaunch. With amazing park power, stability, and ease of use, the Lithium is simply the perfect kite for anyone looking to go out and get their kiteboarding fix.
Included in this premium package is the Deluxe Bag, made using recycled materials. This bag has ample features and pockets to keep everything organized, accessible and clean, in turn allowing you to get out on the water with minimal faff!
Tech specs
Airush Load Frame V4
Now featuring WebTech! The Airush Load Frame featuring WebTech has been the key to setting the ultimate benchmark in durability, without compromising on weight.
By expanding Airush’s exclusive Load Frame with WebTech throughout the areas normally occupied by Dacron, they’re able to minimize or completely remove the heavier fabric, and utilize the Ballistic high-modulus polyethylene web fibers instead. This, in turn, increases strength and minimizes weight.
Integrated High Modulus Polyethylene Yarns
Central to the Load Frame are the lightweight Ultra High Modulus Yarns, of which each single yarn can carry 40kg. These yarns are integrated into the canopy through reinforced taping that allows them to elongate when under extreme load, absorbing most of the shock that traditionally would have run through the canopy. At the same time, they carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch and increasing long-term performance.
Technoforce D2
This premium fabric is designed with a High-Density Structure using High Tenacity Double-Coated Polyester yarn in a Double Ripstop Configuration. The Double Coating protects the yarn as much as possible from UV and abrasion damage. This ensures that the canopy remains as crisp and responsive for as long as possible. This material is used in conjunction with the Airush Load Frame, resulting in the ultimate combination of durability and performance.
XL Inflate/Deflate Valve
The XL Inflate/Deflate Valve features an insanely easy and fast way to inflate and deflate your kite. The large opening creates maximum flow of air and reduces fatigue and stress on your pump.
Safety Handles
On all Airush kites, the emergency safety handles are provided on each wingtips. This maximizes the control and security when performing a self-rescue.
Airush Bumpers
Airush Bumpers are found throughout the leading edge of the kites to reduce wear and increase durability on rough surfaces. These bumpers are key for increasing the lifespan of Airush kites.
Kevlar Reinforcement
Kevlar, found in bulletproof vests, is found throughout the Airush kites. These Kevlar Reinforcements are only put in the most critical areas, to protect from wear and tear, while still minimizing weight that affects the kites performance.
SPS and FBI Technology
The Oversized SPS valve (Single Point Inflation System) optimizes inflation and deflation. The Fast Bladder Inflation (FBI) features increased wall thickness and oversized diameter tubing, thus eliminating tube kink, reducing stress on your pump, and enabling quick and easy inflation. The SPS cover supports the tubing, further limiting UV damage to the material and preventing over flexing when packing.
Rear Line Adjustment
The Rear Line Adjustment featured on all Airush kites allows for quick changes in the kites bar pressure and response. With adjustment towards "High" the kite will have increase bar pressure and decrease turning speed. Moving back towards the rear of the wingtip will decrease bar pressure and increase turning speed.
Smaller kites have 3 Bar Pressure settings, Larger kites only have Medium and Low Bar Pressure options available.
V3.2 Bridle System
The V3.2 Bridle System, now 10% shorter, contributes significantly to the turning speed and performance of supported Leading Edge kites. The Airush Pulleys are made of tough Zytel material for High Strength and resistance to Abrasion and Impact. The Pulley has the pigtails hole directionally correct to eliminate bridle wear. With a breaking strength of 550 kg, the Airush pulley was designed specifically for use on all Airush kite
