The North Evo is a hugely popular kite with exceptional hangtime and huge boosting capabilities. The EVO has been completely redesigned, taking the great DNA from the previous models and using all of North's knowledge to create a truly fantastic delta shaped kite.

Removing two of the struts took some of the stiffness out of the canopy and improved the handling of the kite. It also reduced the bar pressure which makes it an easier and less demanding kite to fly.
