Description

The fastest, most reactive North Orbit Ultra gas been completely re-engineered for riders who demand the ultimate in height, speed, and control. Featuring our very own N-u80 Airframe for a lighter overall kite, with smoother, more responsive steering and bar feedback, more extreme boosting and looping, and a wider range.

It's ultra-thin LE/struts, with 6 bridle points and high-velocity bridle lines, result in a faster, more forward-flying kite with a more direct feel and even greater efficiency.

The 2027 Ultra has a more forward and cambered profile, stable and consistent in overpowered conditions, and a slightly higher aspect ratio than the Orbit, making it snappier in response and more dynamic in recovery.

Features:

N-u80 Airframe for an exceptionally stable and fast turning kite
Thinner LE for increased loop speed and recovery
Response 6-point bridle system to support the thinner airframe
High-velocity ultra-thin bridles
Contoured PTP2 Aerodynamic Profile Transition Panels
Boost high lift profile for incredible upwind and boosting performance
Higher aspect ratio for snappier response and dynamic recovery
Form draft-forward profile for stability - especially when overpowered
Refined weight-saving construction for a lighter overall kite
Lo Drag thinner LE for faster-flying and improved low-end
Aerodynamically efficient C-Arc segmented curve arc design
Predictable in the unpredictable - stable 5-strut performance
Linear sizing in core competition sizes
Tested by nature, proven on the podium
+/- Two bar pressure performance tuning options
Includes Premium recycled fabric Kite Bag
UltraLite Stitch Hold Technology
AirLite Lightweight Bladders
HyperFlow Rapid Inflation System
Kevlar Reinforced Strut Attachment
N-RS3 High Tenacity Triple Ripstop Canopy
Industry-leading ultra-light, ultra-strong N-U80 composite airframe

Features

Technology

N-u80 Composite Airframe:

N-u80 is woven from 100% Ultra PE, a fiber with five times the tensile strength of polyester at the same weight. It features a PET lining and cross–ply Technora reinforcement. That strength lets us build the weave in the 81–85gsm range, striking a balance between stiffness and weight.

Dynamic Torsion:

N-u80 airfame pairs directional stiffness with torsional flexibility. The cross-ply Technora reinforcement and PET lining sit on the inner side only, giving the material its progressive, tuned twisting ability. This translates into a exceptionally fast-turning kite, while improving UV, tear, fold, and abrasion resistance.

Tuned for Performance:

The Ultra kites are developed in collaboration with North Pro riders and tested in extreme competitive conditions. We tune them to highest performing kites.

High Boost Lift:

The Orbit Ultra has a slightly higher aspect ratio than the Orbit, which makes for faster recovery, higher boosting and more hangtime.

Ultra Thin High Velocity Bridle:

Thinner, lower-drag primary bridles (attached to LE) are lighter and lower drag, helping to compensate for the weight of the additional bridle points, which help to support the slimmer LE.

Consistent Stability:

The Orbit Ultra has a more forward and cambered profile for consistent stability in a wide range, especially when overpowered.

Low Drag Slim Leading Edge:

The Orbit Ultra is fast-flying with more direct turning, vertical lift, and improved low-end. The thinner LE also increases the loop speed, so it can fly forward and catch you quicker.

Energetic Feel Increased Power:

Six bridle points support the slimmer LE, maintaining the rigidity of the lighter airframe and ensuring stability for controlled response and consistent performance, especially in high-end.

Aerodynamic Contoured PTP2:

A zigzag-shaped single transition panel helps reduce spanwise tension in the seams, smooths out the profile shape, and creates a cleaner transition from the leading edge to the canopy.

Control Bar

North Navigator Control Bar System:

Engineered with Pro-innovation, the iconic Navigator now features a stronger, lighter bar with an extra comfortable, wear-resistant grip, and the Pro Connect V2 Quick Release, which minimises your risk of accidental unhooking or release.

Updated with SK75 Liros Dyneema lines for greater performance longevity, the refined ergonomic design offers exceptional value and tactile control. Knowing your kite's position just became second nature.

Features:

Patented symmetrical multibore tubing for frictionless line deployment and reload
Refined for smoother trimming action and line longevity
Extra secure single-action reload Connect V2 Quick Release
Minimised risk of accidental unhooking or release
Ceramic bearing for effortless manual unwind
Streamlined Toolless Interloop System with Freeride Loop
Compatible with Connect V2 Surf and Freestyle Loops
SK75 Liros Dyneema Lines
Triple comfort rubberized EVA wear-resistant grip

Safe Connect V2 QR:

Extra-secure single-action reload Quick Release with a stiffer security finger on the QR, plus smaller loop and 20mm extra travel, helps minimise the risk of accidental unhooking or release.

Super Comfortable Grip:

The most comfortable bar grip on the market, now with better abrasion resistance. Tactile offset finger bar, so you can feel when the control bar is oriented correctly.

20% Stronger and Lighter:

Borrowing from the Pro Technology, for 2027, a new fiber-filled polymer internal truss keeps the bar light while boosting stiffness by 20%.

100% Dyneema SK75 Flying Lines:

Strong, pre-stretched 1.8mm diameter flying lines for performance longevity. Our industry-standard high-load flying lines are more resistant to shrinkage.

Tool-less Modular Loops:

The Connect V2 Modular Toolless InterLoop system is compatible with three interchangeable loops: Freeride (included), Freestyle (with a Freestyle Leash Ring), and Surf Slider (rope harness).

Adjustable Bar Length:

Fine-tune the turning speed of your kite. Three adjustable sizes 50-55cm (L), 45-50cm (M) and 38-43cm (S). To change your bar length, pull the bar end cassettes out and rotate 180 degrees.

Smoother Cleated Trim System:

Proven on-demand adjustment, with updated power bracket for smoother trimming and reduced line wear, and a circular cleat base for consistent bar spin.

Customisable Line Lengths:

22m lines have a split at 12m, allowing riders to adjust the lines lengths to their preferences. Remove top 10m lines to customize with 8m, 6m or 2m line extensions.
