easy all terrain performanceAfter great success with the N62, Nobile introduce the N62 Version 2, an all round kite.
A kite that makes EASE the focal point in its performance with a more COMPACT shape and reduced aspect ratio offers super stability and easy power control, direct handling, instant relaunch and simple rigging.
An ideal kite for riders who value ease and simplicity in their kiting and those who ride in demanding conditions where control is paramount.
Ease in any conditions.
Added reinforcements make the kite more durable and impact resistant.
The Compact shape of the N62 features reduced sweep throught the wingtips compared to a traditional Delta, ensuring phenomenal low - end performance, massive wind range and pivotal turning without the indirect , unprecise handling of a traditional Delta. This kite offers 'Park and Ride'ease. Point it where you want to go and concentrate on your riding. Excellent 'sink back'characteristics( the ability of the kite to drop back into the window, instaed of luffing and falling out of the sky, should you get too far under the kite) ensure the N62 is forgiving of rider error. However in the event the kitedoes get wet, the most effective relaunch system ever will have it back up in the air with the minimum of rider technique or effort. Nobile have adapted a reduced strut configuration, uncomplicated bridle and SMART pumpII to make rigging simplistic. A single point attachment for the front and rear lines gives simplicity of choice for line attachment.
The N62 benefits from the usual excellent perfprmance, build quality and safety characteristics of the innovative control bar and the revolutionary Fulcrum Quick Release. With ease at the forefront of its design the N62 will give riders maximum safety and confidence as they take their riding to another level.
Whatever you style, ability or riding conditions the N62 introduces a new era of versatility and all terrain performance.
SMART pump inflation system
The SMART (Single -point, Multiple -valve, Air -distribution with Removable Tubes) pump inflation system has been extensively modified. The uniquely designed valves and removable tubes connecting the kite's individual bladders are now even more user friendly for inflation and deflation and for removability in the event of bladder punctures or kite damage that needs repair.
3 Strut Layout
The low aspect ratio of the N62 allows incredible stability whilst in
corporating only 3 inflatable struts. Higher aspect ratio kites require more struts to control the large expanses of unsupported canopy however, fewer struts means a lighter kite with increased agility and faster inflation / deflation.
Reduced Bbridle Simplicity
The Ntural Arc stability of the N62 is maintained by a simple 3 point SLE bridle. Multiple rear line attachments allow the user to tune the turning speed of the kite without having to resort to complicated bridle adjustments.
D2 (Delta Evolution)Shape
The reduced strut, D2 shape of the N62 give it the lowest aspect ratio in the Nobile Kite range. Riders are rewarded with impressive stability, pivotal turning and progressive power control.The front to back sweep in the wing tips of the N62 stops short of the traditional deltas, avoiding the loss of direct feeling that is so often associated with them.
Outstanding Safety
Safety is one of the paramount features Nobile considered when the N62 concept was developed. Releasing the kite on the leash results in 100% de-power yet still allows the rider to recover the bar and relaunch the kite ( re-ride safety). The kite is engineered to have additional depower above the level you ned for normal riding, thus you have the ability to totally depower in an emergency.
Short De-power
The Nobile 4 line control bar and N62 work together to ensure power control is progressive and predictable within a short de- power thow. Moving from maximym power to full depower is acheived with a range of movement that is within easy, comfortable reach of the average rider.
Park and Ride Handling
The N62's superb stability and excellent handling qualities means it has never been easier to just go and ride. Point the kite where you want iit to go and the progressive power control will take care of the rest witjout the need for agressive sigma patterns. ride towards the kite intentionally or unintentionally and the N62 will dift back into the window with you, without luffing or falling from the sky.
Auto Re Launch
Re launch is easy. Wether it is learner error or through pushing your limits, the kite will end up in the water at some point.However the auto relaunch on the N62 will ensurethat it isn't there longer than nescessary.On hitting the water the N62 reassuringly drifts to the closest edge of the window rady for relaunch with the minimum of ride input or fuss.
Fully Featured kite bag
Designed to keep the kite in perfect condition when not in use as well as be functional for each session.Dedicated external attachment points hold bar and pump securely while in transit and internal and external pockets provide plenty of storage. A 3/4 circumference zip allows easy entry and base venting allows drainage and air to circulate.
One bar fits all - N62, T5, NHP
// Nobile Control bar system
For 2010, all Nobile kites take the same bar control system.
Nobile’s 4 line control bar is one of the safest, most technologically advanced bars on the market. Nobile's new stainless steel (INOX) centre hole reduces wear on the de-power line, decreases bar pressure when turning the kite and provides uni-directional seating for the FULCRUM Quick Release, ensuring it’s always facing forwards when riding unhooked.
For 2010 Nobile have applied a new colour coded EVA texture to the upper side of the bar to increase grip and rider comfort. The highest of safety and ease of use come together as standard in the revolutionary Fulcrum Quick Release and the through bar leash attachment line means true re-ride performance whilst still allowing the kite to “flag” and de-power completely when released in case of emergency. All bars come with their own bag to help keep them clean and the lines tangle free, while the safety (HP) leash features a new clip complete with manual block to prevent accidental detachment.
// Fulcrum release
Nobile Fulcrum Quick Release:
Nobile’s all new Fulcrum De-power loop is the industries first 100% molded Quick Release (QR). By analyzing ALL the requirements and applying a little “outside the box” thinking we created a completely integrated system that moves away from the much used cantilever principle, under which the pressure needed to open the QR increases as the load on the system rises, instead the Fulcrum has a constant release pressure no matter the forces placed upon it.
The molded construction helps to vastly increase the life expectancy of the unit whilst negating the need for regular maintenance and cleaning. Whilst safety was of the utmost importance in the design of the Fulcrum, it’s functionality had to be superior too.
The Lock In Finger (LIF) has been designed with three operating positions with the finger in a vertical position you can insert it through the end of the spreader bar and prevent inadvertent unhooking. By turning the LIF through one click it is held to one side out of the way (ideal for making unhooked tricks) but is still available should you wish to engage it again during your session. Push the LIF from behind to remove it completely from the Fulcrum and hook in and out with complete ease.
The top of the mold has been designed to fit snuggly into the INOX centre hole in the bar thus ensuring the loop is always facing you during freestyle moves for fast hooking in again. Ease of use has been further enhanced through the use of a solid molded loop that can neither deform nor twist.
The Handle pass leash attachment point (*) allows experienced freestyle riders to attach their leash to the Fulcrum in a position that does not impede riding and eliminates the possibility of the end of the leash catching on your spreader bar hook. Finally the whole unit has been designed to allow a quick and easy change of worn out de-power lines without the need to replace the whole QR.
* The handle pass leash attachment point should only ever be utilized by expert riders once in open water and after careful consideration of the risks involved which result from dropping the bar and the possible dragging that can result. Riders should NEVER fix their leash on to this attachment point when launching the kite or near to land.
// Replaceable Depower Line
The Nobile FULCRUM has been designed so that replacement of a worn de-power line can be done quickly and easily without replacing the unit itself. Unscrew and remove the Leashline/5th line attachment ring and then remove the quick release handle. The new line can be fed through the retaining piece and then the unit re-assembled.
// Constant Pressure Quick Release
Due to the unique design of the FULCRUM the pressure needed to open the quick release remains constant irrespective of the loads placed upon it (unlike cantilever based systems where the pressure needed to open the release increases as the load on the unit increases). Uniquely, the system can be re-set quickly and easily after use even with only one hand - simply push the loop piece back onto the retainer and slide the release handle back down.
// 5th line/Leash Attachment Point
The INOX loop at the top of the FULCRUM holds the 5th line on the NHP kite and the leash line on the SLE 555. Non corroding INOX ensures the attachment point will not break but also offers minimal wear on both the line and itself during repeated use.
// Handle Pass Leash Attachment
The FULCRUM features a dedicated Handle Pass Leash attachment point for maximum convenience during advanced freestyle riding.
// Auto Locating Insert
The top of the FULCRUM has been designed to fit into the INOX bar centre piece. This ensures that the loop is always facing you during un-hooked manoeuvres allowing for fast and problem free re-hooking.
// High Visibilty, Floating Loop
In the event that you become detached from the loop when the quick release is activated the FULCRUM has been built in a high visibilty red colour and designed to float making it easier to spot in the water.
// 3 Position Lock IN Finger (LIF)
The FULCRUM has a 3-position LIF for all riding styles. In the normal position it can be inserted into the harness hook to ensure you do not come un-hooked accidentally. In the open position the rider can perform un-hooked tricks easily however can re-engage the finger should they wish to mid session. Removing the LIF completely allows for maximum convenience when riding unhooked.
