North Vegas 2012

Competition Kite

The 2012 Vegas reinforces its legacy as an incredibly versatile C-shape kite, integrating uncompromised new-school/wake attributes with free-ride comfort. The key to the Vegas’ versatility lies in a simple adjustment on the kite’s wingtip, offering three varied settings with the quick switch of a knot. These settings have been tuned to offer three very distinct modes to suit your preferred riding style.

The standard free-ride setting offers everything you would expect from a free-ride kite like loads of de-power, responsive steering and predictable handling. The second setting is ideal for taking your first steps into freestyle, offering noticeably harder bar pressure providing more accurate kite feedback and making steering slightly less responsive to practice unhooked tricks. The third option converts the Vegas into a full-blooded new-school/wake machine that sits deeper in the wind window and delivers consistent pull with a very limited de-power stroke. This is the preferred setting of our core freestyle team and allows you to do the most powerful kite-loops and offers the most explosive pop for powered new-school and wake tricks.

Please Note: Works only with Trust Bar 5th Element. PUMP NOT INCLUDED, available as an optional extra.

The kite has the following key features:
- C-Shape Kite
- Optional Modes: NewSchool/Freestyle/Freeride
- direct steering
- Sizes: 5 / 7 / 9 / 10 / 12 / 14m

"Optional Modes"
Riding fully powered in freestyle mode, the power is distributed on the lines 60% to the front and 40% at the back. You need a lower steering impulse to make the kite turn fast. Riding fully powered in Newschool mode, the power is distributed on the lines 75% to the front and just 25% to the back. The backlines are less sensitive and smoother when doing unhooked maneuvers. To achieve the same turning, you need more impulse in Newschool mode than in Freestyle mode.

Trust Bar 5th Element

The Vegas remains a 5-line kite, of course, all for the usual reasons:
- Short depower stroke and crisp feel
- Super stability
- When you need to get total depower nothing else works as well as a 5th line

The Vegas works with the Trust 2012 5th element bar and lines.
