Designed to #outperform in multiple riding disciplines

Introducing our most exciting kite to date. The new Vulture Gen3 is completely redesigned, utilizing unique aerospace design techniques combined with the involvement of over 500 development riders world-wide.

Our data driven design method enabled us to analyze & optimize over 300 wingtip variations, over 200 arch-designs and countless air-foil profiles. Resulting in a fast steering kite that provides extreme lift and exciting kiteloop performance.

Designed to let you #outperform

Introducing our most exciting
& best performing kite to date

Vulture Gen3 has been completely redesigned, utilizing unique aerospace design techniques combined with the involvement and input from over 500 development riders world-wide.

The result, our most efficient platform, that outperforms within multiple riding disciplines and provides in extreme lift and exciting kiteloop performance.

Outperform in Freeride

The new Vulture is developed for performance freeride and big air. The kite provides linear power and keeps you riding comfortably in a huge wind range.

Break Big Air records

Vulture Gen3 provides exciting lift and hangtime. Lighter steering and increased response allows you to perfectly time all your take offs. Break your big air records with ease.

Elevate your Kiteloops

The new arch design and integrated Aileron-X struts result in a responsive kite with a smaller turning radius. Kiteloop big with a guaranteed safe catch.

Accelerate in Foiling

The Vulture generates plenty of power in lighter winds. Its low drag profile allows you to ride upwind and fast easily. The controllable lift enables you to improve your tacks and gibes.

Vulture Gen3 Highest aerodynamic efficiency achieved to date (9.2 L/D)

Are you ready to set your new record?

Over 300 wingtip variations, over 200 arch-designs and countless air-foil profiles have been analyzed. Resulting in our most efficient kite design to date with up to a stunning 9.2 (L/D) lift to drag ratio.

+11.4%

Drag Efficiency

Compared to Vulture Gen-2

The new arch shape and reduced leading edge diameter combined with the new Aileron struts reduced the overall drag with 11.4%. Resulting in a faster forward flying kite.

+12.8%

Lift in Newton (N)

Compared to Vulture Gen-2

The new air-foil profile has been thoroughly analyzed & optimized to maximize the amount of lift the kite generates. The result: a stunning 12.8% increase in lift & endless hangtime.

+9.7%

Wingtip Efficiency

Compared to Vulture Gen-2

The new swept back tip is aerodynamically optimized and creates 9.7% less drag in its neutral angle of attack. The wingtip segmentation allows for optimal steering response.

Aileron X Proven

This airflow visualization shows the impact of Aileron X. The left side visualizes the magnified steering input (airflow vortex) enabling for faster turning and steering response, the right side visualizes a traditional strut layout.

Optimized structural design for maximum performance & reliability

Hybrid
3-Strut Platform

The new Vulture airframe has been further optimized to find the perfect balance between structural behaviour, weight & aerodynamic performance.

Optimized
LE Segmentation

Structural analyses have been applied to optimize the Vultures Leading Edge design. The optimized LE segmentation results in better twisting while steering, increasing the responsiveness & stability.

Dynamic
Open-Arch Design

The new arch has been completely redesigned. Its organic linear shape allows for optimized twisting and deformation while remaining extremely solid & stable.

Premium
Construction & materials

The Vulture Gen3 is assembled with superior precision using industry leading high-quality materials.
