is one if those kites that overwhelmed all style of riders. The

Technology:
FUSION STRUTS:
The struts are integrated in the extrados up to front of the profile. Blended with the Force Frame
FORCE FRAME:
Kites with extended de-power ranges sustain more pressure across the
canopy as they experience an increased frequency of use over a wider
wind range.
Other Features:
Consequently F-One has developed a completely new structure, offering optimized durability and weight.
The Force Frame is a solid Dacron structure consisting of the leading
edge, the trailing edge and the struts. This high strength skeleton
structure is then covered with Spy material in the least vulnerable
areas.
