Description

Experience ultimate efficiency and versatility with the Airush Lithium Team. With its innovative Team Series construction, this kite is lighter, faster, and more responsive than the original Lithium. Its thinner leading edge reduces drag and allows for a higher angle of attack, making it perfect for riding upwind. Take your kiteboarding to the next level with the Lithium Team!

The Airush Lithium Team is equipped with the V3 Bridle System. The key benefit of the V3 bridle system is that the kite maintains steering even when completely de-powered, increasing the usable wind range and overall performance significantly while adding immense safety benefits. The positioning of the bridle attachment points on the LE of the kite, combined with the V pulleys result in lighter steering, but direct enough to feel where your kite is while riding.

Airush Ride Control Bar:

Simplicity without compromising quality, the Airush Ride Bar is the ideal companion.

An easy to use, reliable Aero cleat depower system with a tool-less position adjustment allows for the bar to be quickly and simply set up for riders with shorter reach. The durable EVA injected bar end floats are flexible for an overall better kite response and offer increased buoyancy.

Paired with any 4-line kite, the 24m flying lines, ISO 21853 aligned Airush IQR, and one-handed release and reset system complies with IKO and BKSA teaching standards with the Low-Y on the centre lines, allowing for a quick single line flag out.

Kite features that set this kite apart from any other:

Beginner to Advanced
Great for riders looking for a performance delta style kite
Short and simple V3.2 bridle meaning less wingtip tangles
One pump convenience and super quick
Extremely predictable
Fast Steering
Hardcore construction
Tunable bar throw and bar pressure options
Wide wind range
Ultra Stable
Instant Depower

Airush Lithium Team Features:

Really positive bar feedback, you can feel where the kite is 100% like never before.
Shorter bar throw
Instant turning as soon as you touch the bar, no delay while the kite accelerates
Improved durability
Reduced Bar Pressure
More low end power for even lighter wind conditions
New adjustable bar pressure and steering speed.
Refined kite profile - Wind range is created by flying the kite, giving more dynamic feel when combined with the improvements in steering
Improved Jumping

Even though the Airush Lithium Team is very user friendly and has a smooth flight capable of delivering extra power and boost when needed. When you require extra power, simply pull in the bar and send the kite over head. The kite will act just like a turbo button is pushed and will become more powerful!

Technology

Load Frame:

The Airush Load Frame has been the key to setting the ultimate benchmark in durability without compromising on weight. Ultra-high modulus yarns carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch, and increasing long-term performance. The Load Frame is further enhanced by WebTech which is featured in the areas traditionally occupied by Dacron. This enables us to minimize or completely remove the heavier fabric and utilize the ballistic high-modulus web fibres instead – increasing strength and minimizing weight.

Webtech:

WebTech minimizes or replaces the traditional Dacron reinforcement by channelling the broader loads into the Load Frame through a web ‘subframe’ of ultra-high molecular polyethylene (ultra-high modulus). This is featured in key areas such as the primary attachment points on the leading edge or the rear attachment points, while also being used to support structural components such as the centre strut.

Ho'okipa:

Developed in partnership with Challenge Sailcloth, this unique Ultra PE leading edge composite material is 25% lighter and 10x stronger than traditional fabrics. This allows for 50% higher pressure, creating increased stiffness combined with a thinner leading edge. The result is supercharged responsiveness coupled with sublime handling, and of course the long-term performance you expect from Airush.

UHMWPE fibres (non-branded Dyneema® or Spectra®) are the lightest and strongest fibres commercially available, with a tensile strength 15x stronger than steel. UHWMPE is created by a gel-spun extrusion process which draws out extremely long chains of polyethylene, aligned along a molecular backbone. This alignment effectively transfers load through the fibre for high modulus and strength.

Control Bar

Airush Ride Control Bar:

Simplicity without compromising quality, the Airush Ride Bar is the ideal companion.

An easy to use, reliable Aero cleat depower system with a tool-less position adjustment allows for the bar to be quickly and simply set up for riders with shorter reach. The durable EVA injected bar end floats are flexible for an overall better kite response and offer increased buoyancy.
