| The second
generation of the revolutionary Crossbow kite continues its legacy as the
leading performance bow kite. The Crossbow 2 is designed for maximum
performance and efficiency. Two of the key elements which provide the
Crossbow with its now legendary hang time and freestyle reputation. By
adding on to the foundation of it’s Pro Span Extreme™ arc, the Crossbow’s
performance has improved yet again through the use of faster flying
profiles, increased durability and the addition of our new Override™ and
Sprint™ systems. It’s ease of use is greatly
enhanced with the addition of our Sprint™ rapid inflation system. Sprint is
our new single point rapid inflation system that will get you off of the
beach in record time. Because after all its all about less time rigging and
more time riding. Sprint properly inflates your kite to the desired pressure
by delivering a uniform amount of air to each strut equally, from a single
inflation point. You will ride with confidence knowing that your kite is
perfectly balanced each time you inflate it.
The Override™ security system introduced the concept
of Depower on Demand. With Override™ 2 we have once again redefined it.
Override’s Depower on Demand is as simple as it gets. Simply push the
control bar into the Override mode and the kite will immediately depower and
begin to drop from the sky. You can avoid many accidents before they happen
by maintaining control of the power of your kite at all times. |

Now with
Override™ 2 this often imitated concept has gone one better. We’ve added a
new user adjustable Override stopper unit. Unlike the competition, you, the
rider can now choose the release load of the Override stopper unit. A new
integrated tension ring can be adjusted for either a lighter or more
positive release load depending on your skill level or riding preference.
The new Powerdrive 221 control system is a study in
refinement. We’ve reduced the clutter and have streamlined the rigging for a
much cleaner operation of all the system functions. The first thing you’ll
notice is the power adjusters are now integrated into the Override™ stopper
unit. The bungeed power adjusters now stay aligned with the depower line to
reduce the chance of tangling.
The Powerdrive 221’s center section has been reduced
in diameter. It now boasts a more positive hand feel especially when doing
one handed unhooked tricks. The new, softer EVA grip now covers the entire
bar.
If hang time, performance freestyle or freeriding is
your thing then the Crossbow is your kite. Ride the second generation of the
bow kite which started the revolution and see for yourself why kitesurfing
has changed forever. |
