With the Chrono V3 upwind riding has become a “no brainer” and this kite will get you out in winds you previously thought were unkiteable. The kite is more reactive due to being a stiffer wing, which means it’s incredibly efficient even in the lightest breeze. The handling has an impeccably smooth turning motion and the kite has nice drive following through the turn, which means the V3 can easily be looped. We’ve focused on creating a progressive feeling in the bar throughout the depower throw range, keeping consistent control in light or high winds. We’ve radically improved the overall flying sensation, making the V3 more responsive and reactive giving the rider a more direct feel and confidence.
The upper and lower surface tension has been manipulated to reduce its effect on the internal structure resulting in a cohesive, stiffer wing in flight. We have included internal straps to link the tension from the diagonals to the lines in order to create a uniform tension across the span.
Less obvious but perhaps the biggest upgrade are the internal diagonal ribs which help to keep the upper surface clean while creating a more solid internal structure. It all starts with a totally new plan form, slightly more compact and with wider tips. It was a lofty goal but we believe we have made it happen. To do this we had to take the design to the next level incorporating features and understanding from the highest performance race kite on the planet, the R1 V2. Our design brief was to enhance every aspect of the V2. THE CHRONO V3 IS BY FAR THE MOST UNIVERSAL HIGH LEVEL FOIL KITE, YOU CAN EXPECT OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE ACROSS THE BOARD. BORN FROM THE CHRONO LEGACY AND PACKED FULL OF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, THIS ALL-NEW DESIGN TAKES IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
