Eleveight XS Design Vision
"Big Air gets even bigger with the new XS.
Smashing boundaries for height and hangtime, version 3 delivers raw power to the most extreme radical moves. Created for the needs of demanding adrenalin junkies, the XS is as grunty as it gets breaking records in Big Air.
The sophisticated delta hybrid design has a high aspect ratio delivering an increased angle of attack that balances power with ease of handling. The explosive lift is met with bombproof construction and stability for adrenaline junkies wanting to hit full send.
Efficiency and hangtime are enhanced by a flattened arc making the XS intuitive to steer and extremely responsive. The direct turning and bar feedback allows for perfect timing ready to take off and be rocketed to the moon.
The XS is designed for hardcore riders and it’s World Champion Arthur Guillebert’s weapon of choice chasing storms. Commit to the send and you are catapulted into the sky with such forward momentum that delivers the most powerful megaloops. The extended hang time makes the XS perfect for old school hooked-in tricks, yet allows for easy upwind travel to get you back in the zone fast. We put a lot of work into the aerodynamics to create the perfect sweep in the wingtips as well as perfect the canopy curve. In less favourable conditions, the XS has fantastic low-end performance that will also assist progressing riders.
The five-strut frame is even lighter yet delivers stability in all situations and withstands the extreme forces in radical big air. Surprisingly versatile, freeriders will love how the XS can also handle freestyle and waves alike.
A must-have kite for radical riders, the new XS is the ultimate Big Air weapon."

Eleveight XS Technology
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
The toughest and lightest bladder material available, made in Germany.
Safe Connect
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 centre 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 wind conditions by switching between different bridle line turning settings.
2 Step Force Transition
Optimized load transition between the inflatable frame structure and the ripstop material for improved stability and durability.
XT Extreme Hight Tenacity Dacron
The XT Extreme High Tenacity Cloth is a high performance inflatable structure material.
