What the Nitro 2023 is built for
The Nitro is engineered for riders chasing maximum height and control in the Big Air realm. The 5-strut high-aspect platform is designed to hold shape when heavily loaded, stay composed through powered maneuvers, and recover cleanly during and after loops. The goal is not “easy all-round freeride” — it’s stability and performance when you’re riding at the edge of what’s possible.
Key construction & performance highlights
- NEW Lightweight canopy design for reduced weight and reactive performance
- NEW Sprint 3.0
- NEW Ultralite bladders for an overall lighter weight kite
- NEW Trailing edge EVA rigidity battens
- NEW Ultra HT – strong, stable and responsive material, exclusive to the Nitro kite
- NEW Durable TPU leading edge bumpers
- NEW Bi-direction Pure Profile Panels for a smooth and 3D-correct canopy shape
- Nano Ripstop canopy for durability, stability and responsiveness
Ride feel (what to expect on the water)
Because the Nitro is a high-aspect, 5-strut big-air platform, expect a locked-in, confidence-driven feel that rewards committed edging and aggressive send timing. The design intent (and Ultra HT stability-under-load focus) is to keep the kite in a stable arc under extreme pressure while still allowing responsive steering and recovery after loops.
Who it suits
- Intermediate to advanced riders focused on boosting and controlled big-air progression
- Riders who want maximum stability and feedback when powered
- Anyone prioritising hangtime, load-and-pop and high-wind composure
