North Orbit Ultra Kite 2025
IN A NUTSHELL...
The latest version of the iconic Orbit has been engineered to be the fastest and most reactive yet. This Orbit Ultra has a thinner and lighter design for extreme boosting and looping across a wider range. The higher stiffness and modulus of the Aluula material have allowed for a reduced LE/Strut diameter, resulting in a faster, more forward-flying kite.
Design details
High Performance Big Air
SIZES: 5.9 / 6.6 / 7.3 / 8.1 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12m
The higher stiffness/modulus Aluula material has enabled North to reduce the diameter of the LE and struts, for a faster, more forwardflying kite, with a more direct feel and even greater efficiency. Available in competition-ready core sizes for overpowered airs, choose the North Orbit Ultra for exceptional top-end control and performance you can rely on.
- Aluula composite 13-18% lighter airframe
- Faster flying smaller LE diameter
- 5-point bridle for stability and shape-hold
- Refined weight-saving construction
- Stable 5-strut performance with micro strut geometry
- Linear core sizes
North have chosen Aluula, an extremely light, strong and durable composite material to add extra rigidity the Orbit Ultra’s inflated structures. UV-resistant outer film is sustainably bonded to the ultra-strong high-modulus ALUULA Core material. The resulting lamination produces a high-performance non permeable fabric with an unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio.
New Aluula Gold Airframe:
We’ve chosen Aluula, an extremely light, strong and durable composite material to add extra rigidity the Orbit Ultra’s inflated structures. The extra rigidity allows us to reduce the diameter of the LE and struts, for a faster, more forward-flying kite, with a more direct feel and even greater efficiency.
New Response 5-point performance bridle system:
The Orbit Pro has five bridle attachment points. The extra point helps to support the thinner and lighter LE diameter, keeping the centre of the kite stable and ensuring consistent high-performance, especially in the high end.
New Linear sizing:
Constant steps for constant power steps. In competition, you want a linear correlation between sizes, so stepping up a size gives you the same 12% difference in power, no matter what size kite you're flying. The new numbering system reflects the true size of the kite, simplifying the math, so you can concentrate on the wind.
Pro-Point Steering Impulse options:
For lighter or more direct bar pressure options. The Orbit Pro has two steering line attachment points.
Stable 5-strut performance:
When you’re chasing a storm, the Orbit Pro provides incredible top-end control. The five-strut design gives it impressive stability and wind range, and you have a lot more control over the canopy movement at low attack angles.
