Introducing the new Flexifoil Blurr Traction Kite from Flexifoil!

 

The Flexifoil Blurr is a kite with one mission – speed! It’s designed specifically for buggying and getting you from point A to point B and back again - fast.

 

Countless other kites offer great speed performance but none have the levels of stability and simplicity of the Blurr.

 

Moving into the specialised arena of speed buggying has never been easier or more accessible so if you’re currently flying a Bullet, Rage or Blade and want to go faster the Flexifoil Blurr will give you a phenomenal leap in speed.

The Flexifoil Blurr is the culmination of two years work with a simple objective - realising controllable speed. Having this pure concept to work towards has enabled Flexifoil to design a kite that does exactly what it was built to do and the final product speaks for itself. The results of this major investment includes a completely bespoke and highly advanced aerofoil to provide amazing speed alongside rock-solid stability and a new high aspect ratio design to reduce drag, increasing the speed of the kite through the sky and generating even more power.

 

The launch of the Flexifoil Blurr also sees the debut of the new ProLink 4-Line Handles from Flexifoil. This new control option is the perfect partner for the Blurr, giving you a totally connected experience and cleaner strop-management via an innovative new pin system.

 

The Flexifoil Blurr delivers direct, smooth handling at very high speeds but with a level of exceptionally user-friendly stability that means all competent kiters will be able to enjoy it's turbo charged performance.

 

The Flexifoil Blurr makes buggying and landboarding at high speeds easy and with no sudden surprises!

 

Complete with Triple 'A' Bridle Adjuster System, as first seen on the Flexifoil Blade, you can set the Flexifoil Blurrs' angle of attack to suit your style of riding on the day!

 

Available in: 2.5m, 3.5m, 5.0m and 7.0m

Particularly ideal for kite buggying, landboard and snow kiting, the Flexifoil Blurr is available as a kite only version or with handles, lines or with a control bar option.

 

If you want to own only one kite for all traction kite activities, this is it.

 

New Planform:
The Flexifoil Blurr is designed to excel two areas, speed and stability. Most fast kites sacrifice stability to increase the speed but with the Blurr we’ve tweaked the design to get great performance in both areas.

 

The planform of the Flexifoil Blurr is based on a high aspect ratio design principle to reduce the drag and generate the increase in speed. To retain stability the swept leading edge makes for a solid canopy and we’ve also closed the tip cells to keep them inflated and reduce drag even further.

 

AAA Bridle Adjustment System:
The Blurr comes complete with the AAA Bridle Adjuster System as standard, so you can alter the kite to perform exactly how you want.

 

Sora® Ripstop Nylon:
We tested several types of sail material for the Blurr but the double-coated, water-proof Sora provides the perfect combination of strength, tear resistance and long-term durability.

 

Pre-Stretched Unsleeved Dyneema® Bridle:
The bridle material for the Flexifoil Blurr is pre-stretched unsleeved Dyneema to give the kite superb high strength and low stretch properties so it retains its shape in the sky even in strong wind conditions.

The bridles have a thinner diameter than the sleeved bridle lines to reduce parasitic drag and increase the speed. We pre-stretch every metre of bridle line in our factory to ensure that the constructional stretch is taken out of the line.

 

Reinforcements:
We have incorporated several well tested reinforcements in the Blurr, most importantly those around the rib tab points, where the bridle is sewn onto the kites to prevent tearing. Also, every internal rib vent has been reinforced to help prevent the ribs from ‘blowing out’ in the event of a sudden impact.

 

Intelligent Design:
We continually develop our design software to enable us to model, predict and analyse the actual 3D shape of a kite when it’s in the air and flying.

As a result we can shape the panels more accurately so the kite creases less and has a smoother more accurate profile. This results in a highly aerodynamic wing which helps all performance characteristics of the Blurr.

 

Size Range:
The range consists of four kites, the 2.5m, 3.5m, 5.0m and 7.0m so you can get out in most wind conditions. Smaller kites are ideal for lighter riders and high winds and the larger kites are designed for light winds and heavier flyers.

Reviews

The best of both! John Eaton

 

On performance this is aimed at the more experience rider. It doesn't lift furiously but then it doesn't hang about either and the speed is achieved with a good steady smooth pull from the kite.

 

Loads of adjustment to the kites angle of attack is achieved through the Triple A Bridle System so I can play out in varying conditions or do different stuff with the same kite!

 

It's not a Rage and it's not a Blade, its what I consider the best of both!
