A kite designed to provide boundless freedom and exhilaration on the water, the 2012 Varial-X emerges as the definitive kite for an unmatched kiting experience. The Varial- X combines 4-line simplicity; increased lift characteristics, and more parked power to the proven C-Kite platform.

With an all-new canopy profile designed for fast turning speed, wake style pop and all terrain fun, the Varial-X is a new generation kite bred for high-performance kiteboarding, while remaining intuitive and easy to use. Offering limitless possibilities on the water, the Varial-X takes every rider to their next level.

Weighing heavily on the acclaimed Vapor X kite, the Varial X is a true stand-alone kite in a class all by itself, offering massive depower and C kite performance in a 4-line kite.

 

SL-C Concept:

Dedicated to riders who don’t want to be limited to a certain style of riding, the SL-C concept allows the rider to choose the style and discipline of riding as they see fit with a kite that offers limitless possibilities to each and every session.

 

V3- Bridle System:

The performance of the Varial-X is enhanced by the V3 bridle system. A very short, single 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 Varial-X offers a performance ride with peace of mind.

 

Airush Smart III Control Bar:

The 2012 Smart bar maintains its position as the definitive bar choice for all riders by integrating the industry leading Brain Quick Release with a fully adjustable length bar and new and improved features. Simplistic and highly intuitive the 2012 Smart Bar is highly tunable, safe and easy to

 

Improvements include a new reduced diameter stainless steel Union center rivot for maximum strength, increased comfort and less fatigue.

 

Featuring a new durable buckle on the depower strap for worry free riding and a PU covered depower line for smooth sheeting and never having to replace your depower rope, the Smart Bar provide a long-lasting and durable control system in a plug-and-play package. Regardless of your style of riding, the adjustable length Smart bar eliminates the need for multiple bars and offers, tunability and safety in a simple and smart package.
