North Kite Orbit Ultra 2026 N-u80 Black

Sizes
5.9m,6.6m,7.3m,8.1m,9m,10m,11m,12m

Description
 The fastest, most reactive Orbit, completely re-engineered for riders who demand the ultimate in height, speed, and control. Featuring our very own N-U80 Airframe for a lighter overall kite, with smoother, more responsive steering and bar feedback, more extreme boosting and looping, and a wider range. Its ultra-thin LE/struts, with 6 bridle points and high-velocity bridle lines, result in a faster, more forward-flying kite with a more direct feel and even greater efficiency. The 2026 Ultra has a more forward and cambered profile, stable and consistent in overpowered conditions, and a slightly higher aspect ratio than the Orbit, making it snappier in response and more dynamic in recovery.

Tech Features

N-U80 Composite UPE Airframe
 Ultra-strong, light UHMWPE weave with PET laminate inside. Directional stiffness plus torsional flexibility gives progressive twisting ability, for earlier response and lighter steering input.

Low Drag Slim LE
 The 2026 Orbit Ultra is fast-flying with more direct turning, vertical lift, and improved low-end. The thinner LE also increases the loop speed, so it can fly forward and catch you quicker.

FORM - Draft Forward Profile
 The Orbit Ultra has a more forward and cambered profile for consistent stability in a wide range - especially when overpowered.

Aerodynamic Contoured PTP2
 A zigzag-shaped single transition panel helps reduce spanwise tension in the seams, smooths out the profile shape, and creates a cleaner transition from the leading edge to the canopy.

Energetic Feel Increased Depower
 Six bridle points support the slimmer LE, maintaining the rigidity of the lighter airframe and ensuring stability for controlled response and consistent performance, especially in high-end.

ULTRATHIN High Velocity Bridle
 Thinner, lower-drag primary bridles (attached to LE) are lighter and lower drag, helping to compensate for the weight of the additional bridle points, which help to support the slimmer LE.

Boost High Lift Profile
 The Orbit Ultra has a slightly higher aspect ratio than the Orbit, which makes it faster flying, snappier in response, more direct in steering, and more dynamic in recovery.
