North KB Reach Kite Yellow
Travel with less gear, ready for any adventure. The Reach is a lively and playful all-rounder for big jumps, upwind performance and effortless relaunch, with unparalleled versatility and wind reach - making it your go-to kite in all conditions. It'Äôs naturally playful and easy to ride, with high-performance attributes that guarantee you'Äôll never outgrow it. The Reach Performance Freeride was created from a calculated fusion of the Orbit, Pulse and Carve. It'Äôs designed to excel in everything from wave riding to boost, loops and freestyle tricks, and it'Äôs a perfect match for our Sonar foils. The fuller profile generates power and efficiency, while the lighter 3-strut construction allows for quick, responsive steering in even the lightest winds. In the three larger sizes, the Reach is a high-performance light wind kite designed with a predictable, consistent forward momentum for TwinTip rides long after everyone else has gotten in.
- Reinforcements and loops with a smooth, reliable catch
The Reach has excellent loft and hangtime with a compact control radius, thanks to its medium aspect ratio design with a wider wingtip and well-balanced bridle. During a loop, many kites pause before climbing back up, but the Reach has a smooth, consistent catch and doesn't hesitate to come back around. - Incredible stability for foil and light winds
With predictable, consistent power delivery in all conditions, the Reach offers exceptional low-end performance - especially at slower speeds and in lighter winds. Its moderate leading edge diameter adds lift and helps the kite release quickly from the water in even the lightest conditions. - Balanced Tactile Surf
Quick-response steering and neutral static balance help you boost your performance in the surf, with no surprises. The Reach drifts well and doesn't tip over, front stall or back stall - making it your go-to kite for foiling and wave riding. - Massive wind range and upwind drive
A high-performance pull-forward profile combined with optimized profile transition panels gives the Reach a very smooth and efficient profile entry and upwind drive. - Incredibly powerful and efficient
The Reach has a slightly higher aspect ratio for excellent loft and hangtime, while the wider wingtip and well-balanced bridle help maintain a compact control radius, ideal for hang gliding. In kiteloops, the Reach has a smooth, consistent catch and does not hesitate to turn back. - Stable Light Wind Optimized Profile
Perfect for riding with foilers and light wind twintips, the Reach has a stable and balanced fuller profile for predictable, consistent power delivery in all conditions and exceptional low-end performance. The Reach is the lightest kite in our range. The Reach's lighter 3 strut construction and more powerful forward profile help you get up and fly in light wind conditions. We kept the weight down for optimal control and performance without compromising strength or durability by using a small two-ply canopy along the trailing edge instead of heavier Dacron materials. In the three larger sizes, we used a lighter Dacron in all leading edges and bracing and light bladders. - Direct and responsive steering
Tactile handling with light beam pressure and steering momentum for quick response and tight turning radius. Quick-response steering and neutral static balance help you boost your performance in the surf, with no surprises. The Reach drifts well and doesn't tip over, front stall or back stall. Bar pressure and control momentum can be adjusted at the wingtip, so you can set the kite's characteristics to suit your personal preferences. - Confident Relaunch with Curved Design
The medium leading edge diameter, medium height design allows for more surface area in the center of the kite for more efficiency and added lift, helping the kite release quickly from the water in even the lightest conditions. - Precise Draft-Forward Profile
The draft-forward profile combined with optimized profile transition panels gives the Reach a very smooth and efficient profile entry and upwind drive. For the Reach, we developed a longitudinal profile control that follows the leading edge seam to ensure that a precise profile shape is maintained as close to the leading edge as possible, creating a smooth transition from the segmented leading edge to the cambered canopy. This results in even more aerodynamic and efficient airflow and less turbulence. - Progressive Freestyle Medium-High AR
A forgiving kite with pop when you need it for freestyle maneuvers. The medium-high aspect ratio, combined with a powerful profile, gives the Reach explosive pop. Good pop creates line slack for handle passes - just charge, edge hard and pop out of the water for easy freestyle progression. - No pulley, low drag bridles
High quality spliced, pre-stretched bridle lines are pre-stretched and measured before cutting to improve accuracy and consistency. This results in reduced shrinkage, reduced stretch and improved longevity. Removing ALL pulleys from the bridle improves safety and gives the kite direct and precise handling. The end result is less drag, more accuracy and a more direct feel. - Premium Teijin D2 Techno Force canopy
D2 ripstop fabric from Teijin. Premium high density canopy material made in Japan using high tenacity polyester yarn for lightness, high tensile strength and endurance. Teijin Techno Force has the highest strength-to-weight ratio and longest durability in the industry. - Duralite Seam Protection
Lightweight reinforcement to protect against scuffing and abrasion along the struts to the leading edge. Thin foam padding is inserted underneath to provide a lightweight, durable buffer that easily lifts the kite off rough surfaces and protects seams along the struts and leading edge seams. - Kevlar reinforced strut system with bridle deflectors
For the most accurate and durable connection between the strut and leading edge. Balance deflectors on the leading edge prevent control lines from snagging on the struts. - HyperFlow rapid single point inflation
High volume single point inflation system with larger diameter hose for rapid inflation and deflation. Bayonet-style main inflation valve compatible with most pumps. No adapter required. - Includes kite, bag, repair kit
