FOR WHO

  • Intermediate–advanced riders
  • Anyone wanting stable, consistent power
  • Riders progressing in jumps, rotations and first loop attempts

WHEN TO CHOOSE

  • When you need one kite for everyday sessions in mixed conditions
  • When you want a wide wind range and dependable handling
  • When you value strong upwind efficiency
  • When you prefer a smooth, non-aggressive pull that supports progression

 

Kite behaviour

Switchblade Apex delivers steady, easy-to-manage power. The 5-strut frame keeps the shape firm in stronger gusts, and the kite holds lift well during jumps, helping with controlled landings.

Control and steering

The no-pulley Apex bridle gives faster response and clear bar feedback. The kite turns smoothly and predictably, making it easy to keep its position in the wind window.

Flight characteristics

Pure Form Panels and Ultra HT reduce flutter and canopy noise. The kite stays stable under load and maintains a clean profile even in variable wind.

Range and efficiency

The forward-draft profile improves upwind performance without needing constant bar input. The kite builds power efficiently in lighter wind and remains composed at the higher end

Features

  • Ultra HT leading edge - The low-elongation material increases frame stiffness and helps the kite maintain its shape under higher load
  • Teijin D2 canopy - Lightweight ripstop fabric engineered for durability, bias control and clean aerodynamic behaviour
  • Apex bridle - Thinner, lower-elongation lines improve airflow between the bridle sections and enhance steering efficiency
  • Pure Form Panels - A refined panel layout that improves the accuracy of the aerofoil and reduces canopy flutter
  • 2026 Airframe Inflation System - A simplified single-point inflation setup ensuring fast rigging, clean hose routing and reliable sealing
  • 5-strut hybrid frame - Stable structure providing consistent power delivery, strong gust resistance and a solid feel in high wind
  • Fusion wing tip shape - Shaped tips improve turning response and create a stable, linear pull across the window
  • Forward-draft profile - A profile positioned slightly forward to increase upwind efficiency and maintain steady power in gusts
  • No-pulley bridle control - Direct connection between rider and kite for faster reaction time and more precise bar feedback
  • TPU leading-edge bumpers - Durable protection elements that reduce wear when the kite rests on hard surfaces
  • Rigidity battens - Small battens in the trailing edge support a stable profile and reduce trailing-edge vibration
  • Quiet canopy behaviour - Improved panel tension and modern materials minimise noise and contribute to a smoother aerodynamic flow
  • Light bar pressure - A balanced setup that keeps the bar feel light while preserving full steering authority

Set includes

  • Kite
  • Backpack
  • Repair kit
