Airush Lithium 2012

The Lithium’s three-strut canopy creates a stable and smooth power delivery while the leading edge has just the right amount of sweep, allowing for effortless auto-relaunch and improved turning speed. The V3 bridle system supports the arc and provides full depower security. Featuring improved Hardcore Construction details and general reinforcement improvements throughout, the 2012 Lithium offers the full package of fast turning speed, auto relaunch and powerful low end performance.

 

The 2012 Lithium features a special LW version available in 14M only. This kite is a monster in light winds or a good kite for a larger person.

 

V3- Bridle System

The performance of the Airush Lithium is enhanced by the V3 bridle system. A very short, single V connection for the front line bridle supports the canopy, and is nearly impossible to get caught on the wingtips, which allows for 100% depower and enables the kite to be steered and controllable when the kite is completely depowered. Utilizing a series of pulleys, the V3 bridle system allows complete 5-line depower on a 4-line bar. By permitting the front line tow points to rotate forward, the kite can pivot off the front lines into a flat, powerless position when the bar is released in an emergency situation. Extremely useful in self-landing situations, the V3 system maximizes the security of controlled self-landings, even in high wind conditions. Used in conjunction with the SMART bar control system and BRAIN Quick release system, the Lithium offers a performance ride with peace of mind.
