ExA 2010 Power and Performance

The 2010 ExA, Starkites hybrid model was designed and built for one purpose, top notch performance. It is intended for demanding riders looking for big/lofty jumps, high powered freestyle and mega loops. Since last year, the Starkites R and D team has been refining the already radical ExA to come up with the new 2010 model. This mutation shows outstanding results in 3 major fields; power, control, and stability. The riding characteristics offer tight on-demand steering, power increase during turns (kitelooping machine), and awesome unhooked performance even in strong winds. With its huge wind range, heavy duty construction, and ease-of-use, this kite proves to be at the top of the charts.

This year the ExA keeps innovative technologies like the auto morphing profile, inner curved leading edge, and dual bridle system to keep the stability, easy relaunch, and responsiveness it has offered in the past. The 2010 ExA offers additional settings including the fine tuning attachment points at the wing tips and three different settings on the front bridles to customize bar pressure, turning rate, feeling and performance. The upwind ability and efficiency of the kite has been increased. Also improved quality reinforcements have been added throughout the kite including: the connections between struts and leading edge, folded strut stitching fortification, flexible pulley connections for less wear and tear, heavy duty bridle attachment points, and longer lasting spectra on bridle area that meets pulley. The ExA is available with the central inflation system to satisfy intermediate and advanced riders’ needs and preferences. The central inflation system can be enabled and disabled on-demand by the rider, therefore the kite can work as a non one pump system kite as well. the central inflation has been designed for easy bladder replacement.
