  ENDURO V5
  DO-IT-ALL PERFORMANCE... RE-BOOSTED

  The Enduro returns, designed to perfectly meet the needs of any kiter who wants to rock up at a spot and ride freely, without compromise, whatever the conditions.

  The V5 is still an ‘Enduro’. It’s capable of anything, but the balance in its performance is now further tuned to deliver on the main priority for most freeriders, which is easy access to exciting big air riding.

  “WHEN YOU BRING THIS KITE TO THE BEACH YOU’RE NOT JUST CARRYING A SWISS ARMY KNIFE, YOU’RE PACKING AN ENTIRE ARSENAL. IT EXCELS IN EVERY SITUATION.”
  JESSE RICHMAN

  V5 - THE ESSENTIAL SELECTION

  The Enduro V5 retains its signature DNA of all-round performance, but now produces more lift and hangtime.

  Inspired by the Vortex project, we’ve brought across some of the most effective design features, like the 16-point bridle connection and sail tension, that helped make it such an explosive yet accessible performance jumping kite.

  These, alongside a revised Enduro shape with less arc in the central section, have dramatically enhanced the jump and float capabilities of the V5 compared to its predecessor.

Tried and tested to deliver long lasting performance in thousands of kites for many years, the Enduro V5 is designed with the most reliable material combination. Balancing strength and durability at a reasonable weight, the Teijin dacron airframe and triple-ripstop canopy cloth form a formidable partnership.

Expect thrilling performance and a pin-point handling feel without the premium price tag. VORTEX INSPIRED, LOADED WITH EXTRA BOOST

“I immediately experienced a lot of really wild jumps on the Vortex — jumps where I kept going up and, just when I thought I was coming back down, I would go back up again. These jumps had previously felt rare, but I find them all the time on the Vortex. The same thing now happens with the Enduro V5.”
JESSE RICHMAN

The Enduro V5 has a rock-solid, stable airframe with minimal bouncing, but it’s not merely a tuned-down Vortex. The V5 sits alone, as a phenomenal all-round weapon.

Reduced bar pressure and steering forces facilitate longer, heavily powered sessions, enhancing the overall freeriding experience. Additionally, the kite's tendency to sit further forward in the wind window makes upwind riding effortless and efficient, with minimal lateral pull.

The clean forward drive and perfectly balanced feel have only added to the Enduro V5’s unhooked freestyle performance.

WHAT’S NEW?

• -  New planform for decreased bar pressure and steering forces

• -  New shape with less arc in the centre section which enhances jumping capabilities and float

  VORTEX CROSS-OVER FEATURES

• -  Improved sail shaping has produced an even tighter canopy and contributes to high reactivity and less sail flutter

• -  16 point bridle attachment points for a very stable and direct airframe

• -  Soft and rigid anti-flap battens

  RETURNING ENDURO FEATURES

• -  Continuous Curve leading edge

• -  Transverse Sail Shaping

- Variable Bridle Geometry

- Back line adjustment settings

THE V5 IS STILL A WONDER IN THE WAVES

“The Enduro V5 is an all-around beast of a kite. Providing a super direct feel through the bar it also flies very quickly through the window. While there’s undoubtedly more big air performance, the V5 still feels fantastic in the waves.

“For pure wave riding and unparalleled drift, the Ozone Reo is the simply the best, but the Enduro V5 is still an amazing kite in the surf, especially if you like to actively fly your kite.

“The direct bar response and increased lift allow you to power through turns at full throttle and then instantly depower with all the finesse you need to hit the wave just where you want and then stay connected.

“I love to mix powerful airs and a more motocross style of riding on my surfboard, which is why the Enduro is the perfect machine for me.”

JESSE RICHMAN

“You always get those magic / lucky moments where you realise that you have a really good kite in your hands. Having recently cracked the Vortex development and receiving all the great feedback, we were able to transfer particularly advantageous features into the Enduro V5 and nailed a really good design that we are all very stoked with.

From there we focused on fine tuning all the sizes, while taking on Jesse’s high value feedback to make this all-round kite as epic as possible.”

VARIABLE BRIDLE GEOMETRY
Quick and easy to change with no extra lines to add or remove.

Choose from three pigtail positions on the Enduro V5’s front bridle’s VBG settings to adjust the kite’s operating range, bringing another level of versatility to this outstanding design.

FREESTYLE
Increases sheeting bar pressure, increases power in kite loops and increases pop for unhooked tricks. If you prefer a heavier and direct feel this could be the setting for you. The Freestyle setting is the lower knot on the VBG pigtails.

FREERIDE / BIG AIR
The ideal balance in performance and feeling for all-round riding in any conditions and big air in stronger winds. The Freeride / Big Air setting is the middle knot on the VBG pigtails (factory setting).

WAVE / FOIL
Decreases bar pressure and increases steering reactivity. It is easier to turn the kite while de-powered when riding a wave or hydrofoiling. The Wave / Foil setting is the upper knot on the VBG Pigtails.
