Design overview
The Moto X uses a balanced 3-strut frame to reduce weight and improve steering speed while still maintaining enough canopy support for stability. This results in a kite that turns quickly, depowers smoothly and feels light in the air. The Lite Series construction keeps the overall weight down for better drift, quicker relaunch and less bar fatigue during long sessions.
Its medium-aspect outline and refined twist make power delivery progressive and easy to control, helping riders stay comfortable whether cruising, carving or learning new tricks.

Ride feel (on the water)
On the water, the Moto X feels smooth and forgiving. Power comes on progressively rather than aggressively, making it easy to manage speed and edge control. Steering is quick without being twitchy, allowing confident placement and easy transitions. The lighter build helps the kite remain playful and reactive, especially in lighter winds or surf-style riding.
