The R1 V4 has been derived from the extremely successful R1 V2 and V3, both of which set the benchmark in kite racing competitions. The V4 design takes it to the next level, delivering supercharged performance while maintaining the R1s well known ease of use and accessibility.

The Next Level…

• Race specific kite
• Ultimate performance
• State of the art technology
• Advanced riders only

The V4 design takes it to the next level, delivering supercharged performance while maintaining the R1s well known ease of use and accessibility.

R1V4 Internal structure:

The new re-designed internal structure has allowed us to increase cell count up to 8% while reducing bridle line up to 12%, accounting for major parasitic drag reduction.

• Internal Airfoil Sections

• Internal Diagonal Ribs

• Internal Tension Straps

• Double Transverse Sail Shaping

  The Leading Edge now features Double Transverse Sail Shaping creating a cleaner surface on the most important area of the aerofoil. The result is less turbulent airflow and longer skin adhesion, which positively effects the lift to drag ratio increasing overall performance.

  

• Refined Leading Edge Air Intakes

  The Leading Edge air intakes have been refined for faster progressive inflation, improved seal and optimised positioning to maintain internal air pressure. This enhances land and water re-launch capabilities.

  

• Materials:

  The top and bottom surfaces use our time proven Ultra Light materials (top 35g/sqm; bottom 27g/sqm)with an even lighter weight material (27g/sqm) for the internal structure on the 15m to 21m sizes keeping weight down and improving light wind flying characteristics.

  

• Pro-Tune Speed System:

  The all-new R1 V4 Pro-Tune Speed System is lightweight and low drag using reduced line diameters and features incredibly simple adjustment via the stream line self-locking Splice Trim System.
