North Fuse, 4 line performance

The Fuse...Light it up!

The Fuse is the North R&D team's latest creation; A dedicated free-ride/wave kite that is sparking the future of 4 line performance. The Fuse is a brand new kind of free-ride/wave kite with a huge wind range, light, predictable feel and great jumping qualities. Its unique and simple new Attack Control Bridle gives the Fuse smooth, reactive steering that is especially evident when de-powered, making it a huge step forward in terms of manoeuvrability and directness on 4 lines. Additionally, the new AC Bridle gives you the ability to safely and completely de-power the Fuse on its back similar to a 5 line system. Easily accessible low-end power and extreme resistance to back-stalling gives the Fuse great light wind capabilities while the AC Bridle ensures direct de-power and a crisp bar feeling even in strong winds with easy push and pull power. The Fuse is built to last utilizing the newest Techno Force canopy material d² that is more resistant to tearing than conventional material. Lazy pump simplicity will get you on the water quickly and easily when it counts. To ensure a 100% safety solution the Fuse can also be flown on the 5th Element if desired.

Fuse vs. Rebel (pdf)

Lijkt enorm op de Rebel alleen met 4 lijnen. Maar heb ook wel mijn twijfels, de voordelen van 5th zijn ook weg (relaunch, stabiliteit, etc.) Maar ja, de nadelen ook, hij zal niet meer door de 5th heen kunnen vallen (hoewel ik dit zelf maar zelden heb met mn nieuwe Rebel)

In elk geval een leuke ontwikkeling!
