The Crossbow IDS launches Cabrinha into an entirely new era of performance freeriding by raising the standard of kite control and handling yet again. At the heartbeat of this new design is Cabrinha's innovative Intelligent Depower System (IDS) technology.
The Crossbow IDS delivers in all areas of power and range of use that you would expect from a Cabrinha Freeride kite. Cabrinha has implemented a Dynamic Arc progression which reduces the flatness of the arc as the kite sizes get smaller. The larger sized kites have the flattest arcs and highest aspect ratios for light wind efficiency and a wider wind range. The smaller kites have a more conservative arc and lower aspect ratios for control and handling in stronger winds.
This unique design progression makes the Crossbow a chameleon when it comes to challenging wind conditions. Fast flying, quick turning and a wide wind range blow the doors wide open for high performance riding in any type of discipline or conditions.
SOFT EVA BAR ENDS: The Powerdrive IDS is the only bar on the market with soft EVA multifunction ends. The EVA ends create a seamless transition from the center of the grip all the way to the ergonomic, protective ends. This provides added comfort when doing aggressive turns at the ends of the bar. The ergonomic geometry of the bar ends also serve as line winders to adequately manage your line set.
LOWER PIVOT POINT: The soft EVA ends have allowed Cabrinha to lower the pivot point of the steering lines right down to the bar. This reduces the turning impulse required to steer your kite.
FLOTATION: The EVA bar ends have sufficient buoyancy to float the control bar and lines, allowing us to eliminate the cumbersome external floats for an even more streamline, uncluttered look and feel.
NO PULLEYS: The new Powerdrive IDS control system is completely void of any pulleys. The IDS equipped kites all work on a direct 1:1 method of control. This produces virtually no bar pressure, and leaves the bar free of added lines and pulleys.
PROVEN QUICK RELEASE: Industry-leading QR. Safety is an integral part of the Cabrinha design culture. This is why we have used the same quick release method for three years running. Our quick release has very little moving parts and is not susceptible to salt or sand. The QR does not perform any other function than to Quickly Release. It is easy to activate with a right or left hand, whether the kite has power or not. It's simple. Time tested. Proven.
QR2: If at anytime during the Absolute Depower process (after the main QR has been activated) you need to completely separate yourself from your kite, you can pull the secondary QR where the landing line attaches to the harness loop.
