JN DA VINCI BAT (12M, 15M) - GO TO DA VINCI (6M, 8M, 10M)

The BAT concept was specifically developed for the bigger sizes of the DA VINCI range.The distinctive DA VINCI BAT shape, recognizable by the characteristic sting in its outline, was specifically developed for light wind conditions – larger kites need to have a different set of characteristics.The DA VINCI BAT shape brings two major advantages: it gives significantly more stability and makes re-launching the kite easier and quicker. The bat-like sting actively helps the kite in finding the optimum pitch angle. With this “adjustment support”, going upwind becomes much easier. The sting acts like a tail in the wind, while the BAT shape buffers gusts and smoothly compensates wind lulls.The outline of the DA VINCI BAT is fashioned to make the kite turn on itself, glide to the edge of the wind window and wait for the launch. Thanks to the BAT shape, it is also easier for the tips to leave the water.

The 12m SLE (but not the 15m) comes with an intelligent bridle setup to expand the kite’s windrange. The bridle enhances the kite’s depower and its flying dynamic and thereby the low end characteristics. The 12m is flyable on both 4 and 5 line bars.
