TALON

Kite Summary

£195
The Talon was developed to improve upon the Trident design, keeping all of the benefits but with broader trick capabilities, a sharper feel, better old-school ability and beautifully smooth trick transitions. The kite has a superb feel in freestyle flying, coupled with a stunning and extremely versatile sail graphic that holds countless colour schemes, or colouring themes.

The Talon is a superb cutting-edge freestyle trick kite allowing you to express yourself with a huge range of tricks and combos.
Its excellent pitch performance carries over from the Trident and incorporates Roll Bars, making it yoyo and multi-wrap with ease.
Yoyo stoppers are equipped with a slip-catch. If a line tries to slip off of the Roll Bar after a trick input, the catch will prevent this.
The leading-edge material covers socket and yoyo stopper cut outs to eliminate line snags. All are internally reinforced.
The trailing-edge is heavily reinforced to ensure longevity throughout the kite's lifetime.
Additional Mylar reinforcing at the Centre-T joint.
Adjustable leech line.
Non-snag, 3-piece double layer nose construction.
Exposed stitching protected by tough 'Moonie Tape', preventing failure due to spine-rubbing.
Removable wing tips, and a 2-piece spine enable the kite to be packed down to less than 90cm.
Versatile sail graphic that looks fantastic and contains many themes and colouring preferances.
Great freestyle trick flying with few interruptions. The Talon flows smoothly through it's tricks & combos with a clean, fluid feel.
Good light wind and high wind performance for a Standard.

The Standard Talon should be your first choice, it is designed for the broadest wind range, tough and long lasting.

In light winds it will perform extremely well for a Standard.
In strong winds it will resist gusts, trick well, and remain competitive.

The best place to start with The Talon....but it gets better!
