Reedin SuperModel HTF 2 Kiteboarding Kite 2024

Introducing the 2024 Reedin SuperModel HTF Kiteboarding Kite. With a weight reduction of 550 grams and an updated 12-point bridle system, experience even more power and control with the SUPERMODEL. Plus, the addition of HTF2 takes performance to the next level.

Key Features:

• The super-segmented wing tip provides the smoothest turning engagement of any kite for maximum efficiency of your steering power.
• FLEXLITE in the torsion zone quickly creates torsion into the entire LE for a much quicker steering response
• Thinner, lighter flex struts translate steering input straight into the canopy.
• Creates a smooth transition between the two materials used in the leading edge. Improving performance and durability.
• Pure Dyneema bridles, weaved at a low angle. De- and pre-stretched to the highest standard for virtually no stretch over time: keeping the kites characteristics over time.
• The high density of yarn per square meter makes this canopy one of the stiffest and strongest on the market for the most reactive and best-performing kite.
• In order to ensure the best quality possible, most of pieces on the kite are stitched using CNC sewing machine.
• Fine-tuned bridles on every size, making the whole range extremely consistent from one size to another.
• By reducing the total weight up to 15% compared to last year’s SUPERMODEL, flight characteristics have drastically increased. The 9m is now 450 grams lighter! Increased responsiveness, higher jumps, better low-end, faster loops, the benefits are endless.
• Making the platform even more solid in all conditions was our goal. By adding 4 attachment points, we’ve created a kite not only more stable in nuking winds, the overall feeling of stiffness, responsiveness, and stability is instantly noticeable.
• The introduction of Hybrid Torsion Frame is a major success, and further development and hours of testing and analysing led us to greatly improve the implementation. New strut material and an added FLEXLITE segment make it respond even faster and turn faster and smoother.
• Overall work on canopy tension, seams, and trailing edge materials have resulted in significantly less chance of canopy flutter when aggressively looping, which could potentially slow down the kite. SUPERMODEL loops smoothly while accelerating through the turn, for the most confident catches.
• SUPERMODEL will always stay true to what our riders love about it, being the ultimate do-it-all kite. Whether you’re new to a Reedin kite, or upgrading, you will feel right at home and ready for anything you want to throw at it.
• We all want to have the most fun possible when riding. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, your kite should be easy to ride, giving bar feedback to always feel where the kite is, so you can focus on your riding. SUPERMODEL is like an extension of your body.

About the Frame:

• Stiff dacron: The center of the leading edge is made out of stiff dacron. This gives SuperModel HTF its stiffness and rigidity right where you want it.
• FLEXLITE: FlexLite is made of a thinner, tighter yarn, that reacts quicker to pull and compression forces that happen in the material when a kite is steered. We’ve placed it on the sections of the frame that are key to making a kite turn, what we call the Torsion Zone.
• New for HTF 2: We’ve improved turning speed and response through two updates. Further testing and analysis have led us to add FLEXLITE to an extra segment on the leading edge, allowing for more torsion and tighter turns.
• FLEXSTRUT LIGHT: All struts are now made from new ultralight 90gsm material, not only reducing the kites overall weight, but also giving a smoother flex into the canopy when steering.
