North 2026 Orbit kite

The new North 2026 Orbit is a completely redesigned Big Air machine - faster, more precise and offering even greater hangtime than ever before. The iconic five-strut Orbit has retained its legendary characteristics - a huge wind range, stability and ease of upwind riding - but thanks to construction innovations it has become even more dynamic and responsive.

Type: Big Air / Freeride
Sizes: 7m/8m/9m/10m/11m/12m

Product description: 
The North Orbit has been an icon of jumping and safe looping for years. The 2026 version is the biggest development leap since this model's launch - the manufacturer completely redesigned its profile, shape and bridle to take Big Air to a higher level.
The most important change is the new 5-point bridle attachment system, which adds an extra support point for a slimmer leading edge, maintaining construction stiffness and giving full control over the kite.
The Orbit 2026 has a higher aspect ratio (5.2 instead of 4.3 in the 2025 model), which translates into more lift and longer hangtime, as well as a lift center (material bulge) shifted further forward, thanks to which the kite generates power better on takeoff and moves through a loop more smoothly. Slimmer, more elongated tips improve steering precision and responsiveness.
Thanks to the new N-Max2 material it was possible to significantly slim down the main strut and the cross struts, which not only reduced drag but also made the Orbit 2026 fly faster, respond more directly and catch the rider more quickly after a loop.

Compared to the 2025 Orbit, the new model is:

• lighter and faster in the air (thinner struts + N-Max2),

• more stable and predictable when overpowered (the 5-point bridle maintains frame stiffness),

• easier to control in loops  (higher loop speed, faster catch),

• gives higher jumps and longer flights  (aspect ratio 5.2 compared to the previous 4.3, a new profile),

• smoother and more aerodynamic  (thanks to a new PTP2 panel reducing seam stress)

The Orbit 2026 is the number one choice for riders who want to set new height records and progress in loops - now with even more control and a greater safety margin.

Technical features:

• Faster-Flying, Thinner LE - a thinner, lighter leading edge provides faster flight, more direct steering, better low-end and faster looping.

• Aerodynamic Contoured PTP2 - a new zigzag-shaped panel reduces seam stress and smooths the transition between the leading edge and the canopy.

• Response 5-Point Bridle - an extra bridle point supports the slimmer leading edge, increasing stability, control and depower.

• Reduced Drag, Increased Lift - a new arc shape with wider tips and narrower shoulders reduces air resistance and adds power on takeoff.

• N-Max2 Airframe - a new frame material with greater strength, stretch resistance and better steering dynamics.

• 5-Strut Stability - five struts for maximum stability and control in the upper wind range.

• Higher Aspect Ratio Design (5.2) - a higher AR means more power in the center of the canopy, better upwind riding and greater jumping efficiency.

North Navigator 2026 bar

The North Navigator is an advanced kitesurfing bar, designed for maximum control, comfort and safety. An ergonomic grip, adjustable bar length, durable Dyneema lines and an intuitive quick-release system make it an ideal choice for demanding riders.

Adjustable widths: 38-43 / 45-50 / 50-55 
Included in the set: a bar, a standard-size chickenloop, a short leash

Product description:

The North Navigator is an advanced bar, designed with intuitive and precise kite steering in mind. It has an ergonomic grip with a slightly oval shape, which allows for a natural grip and easy sensing of proper orientation. It's available in three adjustable sizes: 38-43 cm (S), 45-50 cm (M) and 50-55 cm (L), which lets you adjust the length to the user's preference. Changing the length is done by rotating the floats at the ends of the bar 180 degrees. A depower system based on cleat adjustment allows for precise adjustment of kite power depending on conditions. The main line is covered with a special TPU sheath, which increases its durability and abrasion resistance. The bar is equipped with high-quality Dyneema SK99 lines with a length of 22 meters (12 m + 10 m), which are characterized by low stretch and minimal aerodynamic drag. The Connect Quick Release quick-release system was designed with safety and ease of use in mind. The red QR handle is ergonomically shaped, which allows for intuitive and fast release in emergency situations. Additionally, the bar has a rotating ring for attaching the leash, which prevents the safety line from twisting.

• A toolless loop replacement system - Toolless Interloop Replacing the loop literally takes a few seconds - you pull out the pin, push and unscrew the loop, done! You then fit a new one the same way, chosen to perfectly match your current riding style. An elastic ring secures the loop against accidentally releasing it.

• An intuitive, single-stage Quick Release - A fast, safe release across a wide range of conditions. Our patented and ISO-approved Connect Quick Release (QR) system raises the bar for the safety of the kite control system

• Lines made from 100% Dyneema SK99 - The latest technology from the German company Liros DC PRO offers the highest line strength at the smallest diameter, which reduces drag and provides direct feedback. Stretch is extremely low thanks to pre-stretching. When 88m of lines is in the air, you can really feel the difference

• Injection-molded, soft EVA foam at the bar end and floats - The bar ends are protected in a way that prevents damage to the board or another delicate element, and they also have extra buoyancy. They allow for adjustment/trimming of the steering lines. Even the best lines need trimming over time, so we recommend checking them from time to time.

• PU covers under the floats - To prevent damage to the steering lines and skin, the area under the floats and a bit further is covered with colored PU wraps. Additionally, this solution helps maintain line stiffness when they aren't under tension

• An adjustable depower system on the cleat - An industry-proven adjustment. The cleat base has a new round shape that allows for easy unscrewing of the bar. In overly strong conditions, the cleat allows for shortening the flying lines.

• A light molded trim handle with a Dyneema line - Easy to reach, a molded handle made from Nylon/EVA, for durability and a pleasant feel. German Dyneema, highly resistant to wear and coated with an impregnation, provides abrasion resistance.

• A tube-shaped TPU depower guard - A symmetrical guard for the depower line lets it work without catching, regardless of orientation during release and when packing up the system. Made from a patented material, specially developed for elastic applications with high abrasion resistance.

• Flying lines with a length of 22m (12m + 10m) - Thanks to the use of sections, it's much easier to order spare parts. The 22m lines have a joint at 12m, which is a suitable length for the bar to "escape" during a release, so that the largest sizes fully depower. Removing the top 10m section, the 12m lines are an ideal option for schools or for foiling. 8m extensions are available as additional accessories, and after using them the bar is 20m - ideal for wave riding or doing tight loops.

• A new directional grip on the bar - Feel more connected. The Navigator was designed with a comfortable, ergonomic grip providing a natural hold, in a slightly oval shape making it easy to recognize whether you're holding the bar correctly. The color-coded bar is a nod to our sailing heritage, with the left side red and the right side green. 

• A trim line made from DYNEEMA - The highest quality German line with high wear resistance. The line is specially impregnated against fraying.
