DETAILS

After over a decade of research with single struts designs, the One v2 brings the simplicity and key performance benefits of the Ultra into an amazing Freeride kite perfect for those progressing in the sport.

The One has been designed around a lower aspect ratio platform, resulting in a more plug-and-play, low end feel through the bar with positive feedback.

The One v2 features a minimalized V2.2 Bridle. The bridle system provides support to the slightly larger leading edge to increase the stability, and wind range of the Delta Hybrid design. The Bridle also keeps steering tension at all times, ideal for entry level and intermediate users requiring full control while riding completely depowered.

Over a decade of single strut development has built our knowledge of what these types of kite can do. At first, this design was synonymous with foiling and lightwind riding but Airush has been able to expand the performance to meet everyday rider’s need.

Airush broke down all the key necessities that new riders are looking for in a kite. Simple, stable, easy, and intuitive is what they focused on while developing the One v2.

The single strut, in conjunction with a larger leading edge and swept tips, increases the relaunching capabilities of the kite, especially in light wind conditions.

The key to its fun and ease of use is the low aspect ratio, rounded wingtip and deep cord to handle gustier and unpredictable conditions.

By reducing the material used on the One V2, Airush was able to focus on reinforcing the kite in key strategic areas, making it robust for all kiteboarding disciplines.

For the V2, Airush has introduced the Techno Force D2 canopy material into the range. This premium fabric is designed with a high-density structure using high tenacity double-coated polyester yarn in a double ripstop configuration. The double coating protects the yarn as much as possible from UV and abrasion damage. This ensures the canopy remains as crisp and responsive for as long as possible.

RECYCLED POLYESTER KITE BAG

Airush has teamed up with one of the leaders in recycled plastics to produce many of their kite bags and key accessories in collaboration with Waste 2 Wear. Waste 2 Wear recycles 100% post-consumer plastic bottles into eco-friendly fabrics. This unique process involves turning environmentally damaging waste into usable, sustainable yarns. The recycled yarns are then combined with natural fibers to be woven or knitted into eco-friendly fabrics, suitable for kite bags.

TECHNOFORCE D2 CANOPY

This premium fabric is designed with a high-density structure that uses high-tenacity, double-coated polyester yarn in a double ripstop configuration. The double coating protects the yarn as much as possible from UV and abrasion damage, ensuring that the canopy remains crisp and responsive for as long as possible.

This exceptional material is used in conjunction with the Airush Load Frame, resulting in the ultimate combination of durability and performance.

AIRUSH BUMPERS

Airush Bumpers are found throughout the leading edge of the kites to reduce wear and increase durability on rough surfaces. These bumpers are key for increasing the lifespan of Airush kites.

SAFETY HANDLES

No one goes out anticipating the need to self-rescue, but these safety handles give you something sturdy to hang on to when it happens.

ROUND WING TIP

Key to the One’s fun is its round/ swept wingtips that increase the relaunching capabilities of the kite, especially in light wind conditions.

BAR PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

The Airush One kite features two bar pressure adjustment settings.

V3.2 PULLEY BRIDLE SYSTEM

The key benefit of the V3.2 Bridle System is that the kite maintains steering even when completely de-powered, increasing the usable wind range and overall performance significantly while adding immense safety benefits. The positioning of the bridle attachment points on the LE of the kite, combined with the V pulleys, results in lighter steering, but direct enough to feel your kite’s position while riding.

SELECTING YOUR KITE

As much as designers chase versatility within every model, each rider has a specific set of preferences around the way they want to ride in their local conditions. This quick model comparison chart helps you to navigate the fundamental features and differences for the Airush lineup.

ONE vs. ULTRA

The One features a longer chord and larger leading edge compared to the Ultra which creates more parked power, making it easy to keep in the power zone and gives more sweep to assist in relaunch.

The Ultra’s higher aspect with a finer foil, allows it to fly further forward in the window.
