Naish Pivot LW

The Naish Pivot LW 17m bridges the gap between light winds and higher performance riding.

With great control and a bigger wind range, the Pivot LW has the same characteristics as a smaller Pivot, yet provides a solid foundation for bigger jumps, better relaunch and high-performance freeride in lightwind conditions from 8-15 knots.

If you compare it to the Boxer, the Pivot LW 17m flies further forward in the window, has more depower and better jumping ability.

A great option for schools due to its lightwind abilities and for those seeking higher performance in marginal conditions. 

Quad-Tex Material:

Taking this sought-after C-kite to the next level, the addition of the Quad-Tex canopy makes the Pivot LW practically indestructible. Already engineered for solid control and handling in strong winds, the addition of Quad-Tex’s 4x-reinforced ripstop and perfectly balanced weave matrix—testing 30% stronger and stiffer than any other around heightens the stability and responsiveness of the Pivot design. The pinnacle of freestyle performance just became stronger and more accessible; time to experience the pure precision of the Pivot.

Swift Tips:

The new wingtip construction is 30% stronger than previous versions while being lighter and using less dacron.

The canopy now extends all the way to the Leading Edge, giving the kite a more streamlined look and performance benefits such as more direct turning.

Naish PIvot Depower:

The Naish Pivot LW is a kite that depowers by flying to the edge of the window. Compared to other kites, the Pivot’s foil profile is thinner, and its Leading Edge diameter is smaller.

These two characteristics allow the kite to fly further forward in the window, and get there fast. This gives it the ability to depower quickly.

Key Features:

• Profile Lock Seam - Holds the position of the draft in place and keeps it more rigid over time.
• TLS 400 Bridle Lines - Resulting in a more aerodynamic flight, lighter weight and easier relaunch.
• Load Seam to Each Strut - Transfers steering input to the head of each strut, resulting in faster feedback and a crisper feel.
• Bladder Cap - A new rounded aramid wingtip closure and strut closure eliminates any chance of bladder explosions at high pressure.
• Bridle Point Construction - Stronger, cleaner, and lighter than ever before.
• Refined Bridle Lengths - To ensure perfect tension to each point and provide ultimate light wind performance.
