Description
The Cabrinha Nitro Apex 2026 is Cabrinha’s dedicated big air kite — a 5-strut, high-sweep, medium-high aspect platform built for huge boost, long hangtime and confident, powered kiteloops.

WHO THE NITRO APEX IS FOR
The Nitro Apex is designed for riders focused on big air progression, powerful boosting and controlled kiteloops. It is ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who want a dedicated boosting kite rather than an all-round freeride compromise.
If your sessions revolve around pushing height, looping with commitment and landing confidently in stronger wind, the Nitro Apex is built exactly for that style of riding.
Looking for something more versatile? Consider the Switchblade Apex or the more playful Moto X Apex.
