Details

Outperform in a slight breeze with the OS dedicated foil and freeride kite. Discover a whole new world of kiteboarding under 10 knots with V4 of our feather-light Open-C kite design.

Now even lighter, achieved using XT Light fabric and bladder material made in Germany, the OS has outstanding agility, direct control and stability.

The OS is easy to tame, and the steering is well-defined and precise. The power deployment is astonishingly smooth even in stronger gusts, or when looping during transitions and switching stance. The fluid movements in the sky naturally translate to the rider with effortless efficiency.

For V4 Eleveight removed the pulleys on the bridle allowing for more direct bar feedback and less bar travel. The overall weight reduction has resulted in a more advanced low-wind kite that's sturdy yet lighter than ever before.

Add the OS to your quiver and take off in any breeze.

Construction Features

Eleveight kites are built with innovative and quality workmanship. Details are strategically designed for long lasting durability, while keeping the kite light and agile.

Extreme High Tenacity 4x4 Ripstop Weave
The superior X4 Ripstop canopy is strong and tear resistant and guarantees lasting performance and enhanced durability.

Double Bond Canopy
To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.

Quick Flow
The large diameter of the valve and strut connectors ensures easy and fast inflation and deflation of your kite.

Strut Force Distribution
Double strut head reinforcement for solid inflatable kite frame.

Short Bridle
The short 5 point bridle setup without wingtip pulley enhances the kite’s agility and gives a direct bar feeling while reducing the risk of catching the wingtip.

3D Bridle Deflector
The redesigned 3D bridle deflector has structural reinforcement covering the closing seam, decreasing the possibility of bridle wrap.

Canopy Guards
Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity (XT) cloth reinforcements eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.

German Made PU Bladder Material
A kite's bladder is the core element of its inflatable structure so Eleveight uses the toughest and lightest material available, made in Germany. Engineered specifically for kites, this material defines the kite's weight and durability.

Safe Connect
Rig your kite safely and avoid mixing up lines with the kook-proof front and backline connection points.

Easy Trim
Fly the kite your way by easily switching between backline trim options with the pull-to-pull tags.

Leading Edge Load Dynamic Super Seam
A triple-reinforced closing seam along the leading edge makes it practically indestructible. The center segments have stronger reinforcements as the material load is much higher compared to the smaller diameter of the wingtips.

Ultra-Light Load Diffuser
Angled reinforcements along the trailing edge diffuse the load and strain on the canopy, making it more durable while improving kite stability and longevity.

Turning Trim Setting
Trim the kite according to your riding style and the wind conditions by switching between different bridle line turning settings.

2 Step Force Transition
The load transition between the inflatable frame structure and the ripstop material is optimised for improved stability and durability.

Extreme Light Micro Warp Cloth
Extreme light High Tenacity Cloth is a high performance inflatable structure material.

Shape

Aspect Ratio

• Medium AR
• Big wind window range
• Outstanding lightwind performance

The OS covers an enormous wind range and readily travels upwind. It shines particularly in light wind where only a slight breeze is needed to get going.

Sweep

• Medium sweep
• Balanced power generation
• Smooth lift and acceleration

The medium wingtip sweep of the OS enhances the balanced power generation. You will always stay in full control as lift and acceleration are also buttery smooth and comfortable.
