Open Cell Kite Ibex UL Blue-Orange 6m PLKB PL210702061

Description:

The PLKB Ibex UL is an open-cell depower foil kite engineered as a back-country specialist to get you safely up and down mountains in a wide range of wind conditions. Built in an ultralight construction from high‑quality 32 g Porcher Marine Skytex, the Ibex combines low weight with exceptional rigidity thanks to H- and D-ribs, tension straps across the wing and mesh-covered inlets that maintain a clean, stiff aerofoil. Its profile and arc are optimized for maximum stability, while the use of D-ribs reduces bridle complexity to improve handling and performance. The kite is trimmed for precise control with Liros bridles and smooth operation via Ronstan Orbit Blocks. A dedicated 5th-line safety system ensures confident, safe landings on varied terrain. The Ibex UL is available in 27- and 29-cell configurations depending on desired responsiveness and wind-range tuning.
