The flexible back section of the strut allows the kite to twist over the entire profile when sheeting in and out. As a direct result, the kite is able to generate better low end and a more responsive turning.

In order to improve top end, we flattened the canopy profile towards the tip and quarter struts of the kite. This also gives less drag, less luffing and less flutter. The north rebel – the benchmark since many years and the ultimate high performance freeride machine! The range of power or de-power in this is very big and is what lets you change your attack angle immediately. Rigged on the 5th Element, it offers the feel of the direct bar and the response to instant turning of a kite that is c-shaped. The normal flat kites that you come across come with the problems associated with pulleys and bridles - but you will find none of those here.
