Description

The Cabrinha Revolver HD is coming your way this season as Cabrinha's premier dedicated surf kite. The brief Cabrinha gave their chief designer Pat Goodman, was to build us a kite that is: Fast turning. High Depowering. Responds immediately to edge input. And is built with the most durable strength to weight ratio materials available to us. The result is nothing short of spectacular.

 

The Cabrinha Revolver HD is your personal power source for true kite surfing. Its as close as it gets to the real thing with the added benefits of power to get you in and out of the line up. Tow yourself into a wave with the Revolver and feel what it is like to actually surf without having the kite over-power your turns.

 

The Cabrinha Revolver HD’s defining characteristic is that its right there when you need it... and virtually invisible when you don’t.

 

The conservative amount of Pro Span™ Extreme makes the Revolver incredibly stable. But more so, it makes it turn on a dime. The Revolver’s inherent turning speed allows you to surf tight in the pocket and put the kite wherever you need it in an instant.

 

The new frontier in kitesurfing has come full circle back to its surfing roots. Cabrinha, the company founded on the very core of surfing now brings you the ultimate surf kite. The Revolver HD.

 

If you are looking for a surf kite with the technology of the future but the soul of surfing’s past..... look no further than the Revolver HD.

 

Durability >

The Cabrinha Revolver HD tackles durability with transitional strut panel materials and reinforced LE closing seams. We have reinforced the high load areas of the kite with a transitionally weighted material. This well placed material acts as a buffer zone between the rigid strut areas and the canopy. The closing seams now have an additional layer of material and a layer of Mark Cloth to handle the higher demand put on them by todays riders.

SPRINT Inflation System >
Ease of use has reached a whole new level with the addition of Sprint™ - our unique single point inflation system. Just pull the kite out of the bag, hook the pump to a single valve and inflate the entire kite to the desired pressure. If you’d like to roll up the kite with only the leading edge deflated, a set of lock off clips will ensure that the struts stay inflated.

 

Instant Relaunch >
A combination of our Powerdrive™ 2N1 control system and our bridling make the Revolver HD one of the fastest launching kites available today. When the kite is leading edge down on the water or snow, turning the control system 90 degrees will raise the wingtip off the surface so you can gently steer the kite into the sky, maintaining control of the power of your kite at all times.

 

Override 2 >
The Override™ method of depower has become the preferred choice from seasoned pros to 1st time riders. It doesn’t get any easier than this.

Just place the control bar in the Override™ mode and the kite will immediately begin to depower and drop from the sky. With Override™ you can avoid many accidents before they happen by maintaining control of the power of your kite at all times.

The Override™ 2 stopper unit provides a place to rest your control bar if you’d like to unspin your lines. When the Override™ stopper unit is seated on its sleeve you can temporarily let go of the control bar and unspin your lines. To place the bar into Override™ mode, you simply push past the stopper unit and the kite will immediately begin to depower and drop from the sky.

Powerdrive 2N1: Power is nothing without control Lets face it, power is nothing without control. That’s why the Revolver HD comes with Cabrinha's top of the line Powerdrive 2N1 control system. The Powerdrive 2N1 control system is a 2:1 pulley system that increases the effects of your steering and depowering input. For the amount of distance you move the control system you effectively double the reaction on the kite. This creates precision control and puts you in charge of your kite at all times.

 

The Powerdrive 2N1 control system now implements Cabrinha's new forged alloy section with an expanded entry and exit opening for the depower line. This feature increases the ease of bar movement over the depower line even at extreme angles.

 

Pro Span™ Extreme >
The implementation of Pro Span™ Extreme into the Switchblade 3 has provided Cabrinha with huge gains in the power equation. The flatter arc of the kite now means that the majority of the kite’s surface area is working for you in a lifting capacity. Unlike a classic arc which only uses approximately 50 percent of it’s arc for lifting, the Revolver HD’s main lifting area is expanded to an incredible 80 percent of the kite’s surface area. This means that the smaller, lighter, Revolver HD kites deliver the same power as a larger classic arc kite.

 

Usable Wind Range >
Raw power is useless if there is no way to control it. This is where the Revolver HD shines. The Revolver HD has approximately 30 percent more power range than any classic arc kite. This means that a 12 meter kite, for example, can be powered to the equivalent of a 14 meter by sheeting the control bar towards the rider. At the same time it can be depowered down to the equivalent of a 8 meter just by pushing the bar towards the kite. When the control bar is pushed into Override Mode the kite achieves total depower.

 

Revolver HD Bridle System >
One of the reasons for the Revolver HD’s incredible rock solid stability is the simple leading edge bridle. The Revolver HD bridle delivers on two fronts: Stability and trim. The obvious benefit to the performance of the kite is the way that the bridle fully supports the leading edge of the kite under the constantly changing loads of pressure. This increased stability allows the kite to react to the riders input from the bar without the deformation that can occur with a traditional kite. The other revolutionary feature of the bridle is its ability to drastically change the angle of attack of the kite while keeping equal pressure on all load points. This in turn creates an unprecedented range of power and trim including absolute depower.

The Revolver HD's bridle serves two functions. The most obvious function is the way that it fully supports the flat arc of the kite (also known as Pro Span Extreme). This helps to keep the kite flying rock solid even when riding through choppy water in gusty wind.

 

The second function of the bridle is to allow the kite’s angle of attack (AOA) to radically change. This is the main feature responsible for the Revolver HD's incredible range and depowering capabilities.

 

The bridle even allows for the AOA to reach a zero point where the kite stops pulling altogether. The interesting thing about this bridle is the way that it places equal tension on each attachment point even while depowering. Jelly fishing is not possible with the Revolver HD.

Cabrinha Revolver HD Wind Range:

Depower Control Bar

Riders of all levels, from pros to newcomers, will all gain substantial advantages from the new Cabrinha Revolver HD. Lets face it, power is nothing without control. The top of the line Powerdrive 2N1 control system is a 2:1 pulley system that increases the effects of your steering and depowering input. For the amount of distance you move the control system you effectively double the reaction on the kite. This creates precision control and puts you in charge of your kite at all times.   The Powerdrive 2N1 control system comes standard with our Override 2 stopper unit. In addition to its hands free spinning feature, the Override 2 stopper integrates our bungeed power adjusters. The easy to use power adjusters puts the trim of your kite easily within reach. This often imitated but never duplicated feature keeps your entire control system simple, streamlined and free of clutter.   The Powerdrive 2N1 control system now implements our new forged alloy section with an expanded entry and exit opening for the depower line. This feature increases the ease of bar movement over the depower line even at extreme angles.   The Powerdrive 2N1 features our adjustable Override™ 2 stopper unit, 2:1 pulley system, bungeed power adjusters, centerline adjustment trim strap, soft embossed EVA grip, a quick release harness loop and a Bypass security leash. Advanced Depower System One of the features responsible for the Revolver HD ’s incredible depowering capabilities is it’s 1-2-1 pulley system on the rear lines. This allows the rider to achieve twice the depower for the same amount of distance the bar travels as a normal control system. The 2-1 purchase also enhances turning by exaggerating the differences in line lengths when the bar is turned. Secure Release Harness Loop The new quick release is a simple and effective way to separate the rider from the kite. The spring loaded action keeps the QR engaged until manual activation is needed. Since activation of the QR will separate the rider from the kite, it is only recommended when separation from the kite is absolutely necessary.

Override: The Override™ security system introduced the concept of Depower on Demand. With Override™ 2 we have once again redefined it. Override’s Depower on Demand is as simple as it gets. Simply push the control bar into the Override mode and the kite will immediately depower and begin to drop from the sky. You can avoid many accidents before they happen by maintaining control of the power of your kite at all times. Learn how the Override Works (7mb) Another useful feature of Override is that you can temporarily let go of the control bar to un-spin your lines. When the Override stopper unit is seated on its sleeve it will temporarily stop the bar from entering the Override mode while you spin you bar to untwist your lines. Override™ 2 Tension Ring The stopper unit is set set to release at a load of approximately 10kg. A tension ring is supplied if you would like to increase the release load. With each click of the ring the tension is increased around the stopper and the release load becomes higher. It should be noted that increased loads will require more force to unseat the stopper and put the control bar into Override mode. Note: The stopper ball is provided as a convienence feature. It is not intended to be used as a permanent stopper in which to ride against. For best results, sheet the control bar up to the ball prior to letting go of the bar to unspin the lines.

Relaunch Assist: The Revolver HD's unique bridle allows the rider to perform a water relaunch by simply pulling on the left or right rear lines. The wingtip will rise out of the water and allow the rider to position the kite into a more secure side launch position. This is all possible without the use of a 5th line or additional wing tip fittings.
