Cabrinha 2026 Nitro Kite Review

This is the kite the Brazilian Brothers have been using in their big air kite clinics for 3 years now, and for good reason.

How does the 2026 version stack up?

What Cabrinha has to say:

The Nitro has quickly established itself as the go-to for riders chasing height, hangtime, and progressive kite loops. Its reputation comes not only from its pure performance, but also from its unmatched predictability, giving riders the confidence to push harder, knowing exactly how the kite will respond.

For 2026, the Nitro has been refined once again. Built with precision craftsmanship, the upgraded Airframe inflation system, and rock-solid construction throughout, it delivers the canopy support and feedback you need when the winds pick up and the sky is calling.

From first loops to pure power commitment, the Nitro provides the perfect platform to step up your riding. It’s the kite that helps you send it higher, land cleaner, and keep progressing session after session.
