Design overview
The Moto X Apex keeps the trusted 3-strut Moto X outline but upgrades the materials to deliver a lighter, more responsive ride. Reducing frame weight helps the kite fly further forward in the window, improving efficiency and upwind performance while also increasing steering speed and drift stability.
The result is a kite that feels more playful and alive in the air, with less bar pressure and quicker input response, making it ideal for riders who want a premium freeride experience.
Ride feel (on the water)
On the water, the Moto X Apex feels noticeably lighter in the hands. Steering is quicker and more direct, transitions feel smoother and the kite drifts better when riding waves or foiling. Power delivery stays progressive and controllable, allowing riders to stay relaxed while still accessing strong performance when loading up for jumps or carving turns.
