The Flexifoil Ion 2 is the new water bow style
kite from Flexifoil.
A hybrid kite for freeride & waves or 5-line, no bridle,
C-shape performance for freestyle & wake. One kite, that
delivers two riding styles – the Ion2 by Flexifoil.
The Flexifoil Ion2 is the new hybrid kite from Flexifoil.
Following the massive success of the Ion, the NEW Flexifoil
ION2 has been designed to give amazing performance to all
intermediate and experienced kiteboarders, no matter what
style of riding you’re into.
4-Line Mode:
The kite is supplied in the 4-line bridled mode ideally suited
for waveriding and freeride. This hybrid mode allows the kite
maximum depower and flyable wind range, making it perfect
for big fun, waveriding and jumping.
In the 4-line mode the Ion2 allows massive depower and easy
airtime. It turns quickly, has a huge wind range and soaks
up the gusts smoothly. You will be able to try new tricks
with confidence.
The safety is really simple; just let go of
the bar and the kite depowers by 90% and sits at the edge
of the window for effortless relaunch.
5th-Line Mode:
The Ion2 can be quickly changed from this setup to a 5-line
configuration (supplied in the bag). The 5-line set-up is
ideal for the hardcore freestyle rider who is looking for
the feel of a competition ‘C’ shaped kite.
The 5-line mode helps to provide more low end grunt and the ability to load up more forces, enabling huge airs and full-on powered kiteloops.
These attributes make the Ion2 in 5-line mode
an amazing wake / freestyle kite, with the added benefit of
an ‘on the fly’ adjustable 5th line.
If you are riding on flat water or in smooth winds, try the
5-line freestyle mode. If you find yourself riding in gusty
conditions or want to ride big waves, go for the 4-line bridled
configuration.
The switch between the two setups takes a matter of minutes
can be done with ease.
Jumping:
In freeride mode you get smooth jumps and loads of float with
gentle, controlled lift plus its nice and easy to feel where
the kite is when coming in to land. The bar position on the
centre line makes a massive difference in the height of the
jump. In strong winds all you need to do is send the kite
and pull the bar towards you and you take off – big
airs are effortless.
If you’re into unhooked jumps and powered wake-style
tricks then the freestyle 5th line mode is the one for you.
It is more aggressive and will rip you off the water. Keeping
power in the turn, so you get a more constant and predictable
pull during kite loops.
Unhooked Riding:
Both setups are good for unhooked riding, with the freeride
setup giving a more pivoted turn, so it’s easy to get
the kite in the right place when smacking the lip and riding
down the line. The freestyle mode delivers loads of grunt
and a good, precise driving turn. Both setups can be flown
unhooked with tight rear lines so that it’s easy to
feel where the kite is and steer it one handed without any
back-stall in the kite.
Stability: The kite is really stable even in gusty winds and when the kite is depowered it remains rock-solid in the sky. There is always a smooth feedback to the bar from the kite, making it great for progressing and learning new tricks. The Ion2 excels in gusty conditions as the kite remains stable making it great for flying sites that can have turbulent conditions.

Simplicity:
The Ion2 has been designed to make your life easy and your
kite flying fun!
The package includes: easy and quick single point inflation
(rig-up in no time), freestyle and freeride bridle diagrams
printed on the bag for easy beach reference, and a freeride
to freestyle conversion process that you can do in literally
a few minutes.
All attachments to the kite are simple larkshead knot - colour-coded
and labeled - so it’s hard to get it wrong.
Safety-Freeride Setup: Works
in the same way as the Atom: 4-lines with a mini-leash running
through the centre hole in the bar which pulls on the two
front lines when the safety is activated. This kills 90% of
the power from the kite and the kite comes down at the edge
of the window, ready for easy relaunch.
Safety-Freestyle Setup:
Works in the same way as the Fusion 2 5th line safety: after
depowering the safety system the rider remains attached to
the kite via the 5th line which attaches to the Y bridle on
the centre of the kite.
The 5th line kills 95% power from the kite in a controlled and predictable manner and has all the usual benefits like easy relaunch, self landing and an adjustable tension for controlling the power of the kite during normal flying.

Ion 2 Control
Bar: The Ion2 bar has evolved to fully exploit
the Ion2’s potential. With super light steering and
responsive feedback the Ion2 feels more connected than ever
before.
The Ion2 bar makes massive strides in the durability of almost
all wearable parts. This includes the 5th line, the centre
line and the leader lines.
The on-the-fly adjustable 5th line increases your kites wind
range and give more vertical lift and of course aids safety
and relaunch.
Features:
Bar Pressure >
The Ion2’s light but progressive bar pressure means
that you can easily feel where the power of the kite is, giving
an intuitive connection to the kite.
In the freestyle setup the tension of the 5th line makes a
massive difference to the bar pressure. Heavier with no 5th
line tension or much lighter with the 5th line pulled in by
a couple of inches. You can tune this to your preferred setup.

Great hangtime!
Steven Noel
A great kite for people who want a large wind range on a single
SLE. The 4/5 Line system is effective and is a great kite
that you can turn the power on and off in the waves.
Quality is great on the kite as well as on
the control bar. Anyone who is coming from C-kites will love
this kite. Its excellent for hangtime and the low end grunt
is awesome.
