Kite F.one VOLT 2 Freeride 5M 2012
Programm:
Each year, the Volt benefits from the evolution of its big brother, the Bandit.
This year’s VOLT 2 improves once more while remaining intuitive and accessible to all.
The VOLT 2 gives you confidence during your first session, with a progressive traction as well as great control of it’s power due to
its depower capabilities.
A good rider will be surprised at the ease with which it can aid new tricks.
Stable, the Volt is versatile in all wind conditions and especially in strong winds due to an improved high end.
The steering is intuitive enabling you to feel the position of the kite at all times so you can just focus on the riding. Responsive and
maneuverable, the VOLT 2 is tolerant and forgiving.
The Delta C Shape, a F-ONE patent, is known to facilitate the relaunch and we focus our attention on its continuous improvement.
The refined leading edge diameter at the tips of the kite enhances its turning ability.
It’s now easier to sheet-in the kite tip when the kite is on its back which translates into a better aerodynamic support.
Auto relaunch:
The auto relaunch is the most recognized evolution in recent years.
The Delta erases the difficulties of past designs during the relaunch phase.
The kite automatically tilts by itself on one tip and glides gently to the window edge, where it safely sits there without any power. You only have to guide its relaunch when you are ready to do so.
No complicated maneuver is necessary; this is what the auto relaunch is all about.
Safety:
The one and only true safety is to be able to completely kill the power of the kite at any time, in any position.
Thanks to the EVO bridle The VOLT 2 can easily be neutralized when you trigger the safety system as it lands on his back without power.
Simplicity:
The VOLT 2 is based on the Delta C Shape, an F-ONE patented design. It is a 4 line kite equipped with an EVO bridle. It is simple and quick to setup on the beach.
Quality:
The VOLT 2 has all the technical developments of the Bandit 5 and is using the same materials.
> One Pump Collar Valve:
- Easier to remove and put back.
- Practical during bladder replacement.
> Kite tuning:
2 different positions for back lines.
- Front: more bar pressure, slower turning kite.
- Back: lighter bar pressure, faster turning kite.
> Kevlar reinforcement on leading edge:
Most seams on the leading edge are now reinforced with Kevlar to prevent the seams to deteriorate on aggressive ground friction.
> Skin reinforcement:
Each skin sewing is reenforced on its front by a self-adhesive Dacron.
> Safety System:
The general safety system has been kept the same: UPS with Velcro quick release.
The big advantage is its sand-proof nature. This year, the chicken loop is equipped with a new injected «finger», stiffer, easier to rotate and adjustable in length.
> Profile leading edge end tips:
The leading edge tips are profiled and have a reduced diameter to avoid any bridles tangling and drag effect.
> Profile batten end tip:
A new batten closing system enables to reduce its diameter in order to decrease the drag. A small batten ensures the closing
and holding in position.
> Vertical cut batten:
The VOLT 2 struts are designed with a vertical cut in order to optimize the strength/diameter ratio.
> F-ONE pulley:
- Pulley structure is extremely resistant.
- Bridle is integrated in the lower part of the pulley, working in its axle and not sideways.
- Pulleys can be removed independently from the bridle, you can change the bridle and keep the pulley or vice versa.
