Lithium - The element for all conditions
Maintaining the characteristics that made the Lithium such a successful kite in 2011, the 2012 Lithium introduces
a new three-strut platform with more power, increased range, decreased bar pressure, and improved hangtime.
The Lithium 2012 possesses the fast turning-speed, easy relaunch, and power house low-end that
has made it a proven all-around performer, standing out as the easy choice for all levels, from beginner to
advanced, excelling in all conditions.
The Lithiums three-strut canopy creates a stable and smooth power delivery while the leading edge has just
the right amount of sweep, allowing for effortless auto-relaunch and improved turning speed. The V3 bridle
system supports the arc and provides full depower security. Featuring improved Hardcore Construction details
and general reinforcement improvements throughout, the 2012 Lithium offers the full package of fast turning
speed, auto relaunch and powerful low end performance.
V3- Bridle System
A short double V connection for the front line bridle supports the canopy, and is nearly impossible to get caught on the
wingtips, which allows for 100% depower and enables the kite to be steered and controllable when the kite is completely
depowered. Utilizing a series of pulleys, the V3 bridle system allows complete 5-line depower on a 4-line bar. By permitting
the front line tow points to rotate forward, the kite can pivot off the front lines into a flat, powerless position when the bar
is released in an emergency situation. Extremely useful in self-landing situations, the V3 system maximizes the security of
controlled self-landing SMART bar control system and BRAIN Quick release system.
