ONE - Revolutionary One Strut Design
After its first year on the market, the revolutionary single-strut ONE has won accolades and fans the world over.
Bringing together simplicity and performance in a versatile single-strut design, the ultra stable ONE offers instant
depower and plug and play ease of use. Refined for 2012, the ONE features better upwind performance, and
increased turning speed while retaining its direct bar feel and park and ride performance. The combination
of its minimal weight and deep canopy profile allow the ONE to be incredibly efficient in light wind conditions
and ultra stable and predictable in strong winds -translating into a durable, yet lightweight kite, that delivers
exceptional plug and play simplicity, massive depower range, and unmatched stability in a simple and
affordable package.
ONE Strut Technology
By increasing the overall sweep of the leading edge, combined with a proportional increase in the diameter of the frame,
Airush was able to achieve a very lightweight canopy that maximizes both the turning surfaces and power generating
surfaces of the kite, for an increased power-to-weight ratio.
V3- Bridle System
The performance of the ONE is enhanced by the V3 bridle system. A very 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-landings, even in high
wind conditions. Used in conjunction with the SMART bar control system and BRAIN Quick release system, the ONE offers a
performance ride with peace of mind.
