Designer Notes | Orbit 2023_Produkt Vorstellung
Was sagt North über den neuen Orbit.
For 2023 the Orbit feels even more responsive in all conditions. We've made small structural refinements to smooth out the canopy, optimizing the profile for less drag, faster forward speed and smoother turning.
Without changing the DNA of the kite, we've engineered it to feel smoother, lighter, faster, and even more predictable in the unpredictable. At North, we understand what riders want in a performance, Big Air kite.
North Kite Designer Pepijn Smit and Brand Director Mike Raper introduce the key features and benefits of the 2023 Orbit.

How does low bar pressure helps with doing loops? I am riding a fx now with high bar pressure, would like to change to an orbit, but the low bar pressure is something that feels weird when I tested the orbit last year..
Hey Corto, Thanks for reaching out to us! The low bar pressure does not influence the loops that much. It really is a bit of a preference thing you as the ride prefers on bar pressure and feedback from the kite. There is no golden rule. However with lower bar pressure we found that you can feel the kite a bit better when its navigating through the wind window. Which gives you an intuitive feel for the kite, always knowing where it is. If you run high bar pressure we found the feedback loop on where the kite is in the window becomes a bit less sensitive. The the beauty is that all this is easily adjustable on your wing tip attachment points. If you prefer a bit more bar pressure just use one of the attachment points closer to LE and you get more bar pressure which would feel similar to what you are used to from your FX. Please let us know if this helps and if you have any other questions. See you out there, Tyler from North 🤙

Instead of all lighter kites, I prefer solid materials and using my kites for a couple of years. I stick to CORE Kites therefor.

Genuinely a better vid. Giving a customer more info to look into the brand /potential purchase. Don't forget you're not just talking to existing customers you're trying to get us on board. With digital media being pretty much the only way we'll get to look at it, you'd better give us all the details.... This felt unfinished..

Sweet video but here is some constructive criticism: Previous designer note videos with Pat Goodman were outstanding. Would've been sweet if we could see Pepijn talking about it rather than only hearing him through a potato-like microphone hahahah
Hi Rubens, Thank you for your feedback! We'll look into this for our future videos 🤙
