Cabrinha Crossbow 2 Bow kite
The orginal crossbow back in 2006 was an amazine kite now they have improved it! added one pump (Sprint™ Single Point Inflation) and a new profile to give the kite more power and a larger wind range without the inverts.
The second generation of the revolutionary Crossbow kite continues its legacy as the leading performance bow kite. The Crossbow 2 is designed for maximum performance and efficiency. Two of the key elements which provide the Crossbow with its now legendary hang time and freestyle reputation. By adding on to the foundation of it’s Pro Span Extreme™ (gives you more low end power) arc, the Crossbow’s performance has improved yet again through the use of faster flying profiles, increased durability and the addition of our new Override™ and Sprint™ systems (like Slingshots one pump).
It’s ease of use is greatly enhanced with the addition of Cabrinha's Sprint™ rapid inflation system. Sprint is our new single point rapid inflation system that will get you off of the beach in record time about half the time. Because after all its all about less time rigging and more time riding. Sprint properly inflates your kite to the desired pressure by delivering a uniform amount of air to each strut equally, from a single inflation point. You will ride with confidence knowing that you kite is perfectly balanced each time you inflate it.
The Override™ security system introduced the concept of Depower on Demand. With Override™ 2 we have once again redefined it. Override’s Depower on Demand is as simple as it gets. Simply push the control bar into the Override mode and the kite will immediately depower and begin to drop from the sky. You can avoid many accidents before they happen by maintaining control of the power of your kite at all times. as far as safty goes this is by far the safest kite on the market, just like a windsurfer if you let go of the boom it all just stops, now you can just let go of the Cabrinha control bar and again it all just stops the kite gently falls from the sky onto the water ready for re-launch...you can't get any safer than that!
Now with Override™ 2 this often imitated concept has gone one better. We’ve added a new user adjustable Override stopper unit. Unlike the competition, you, the rider can now choose the release load of the Override stopper unit. A new integrated tension ring can be adjusted for either a lighter or more positive release load depending on your skill level or riding preference.
see override 2 tension ring below.
The new Powerdrive 221 control system is a study in refinement. Cabrinha have reduced the clutter and have streamlined the rigging for a much cleaner operation of all the system functions. The first thing you’ll notice is the power adjusters are now integrated into the Override™ stopper unit. The bungeed power adjusters now stay aligned with the depower line to reduce the chance of tangling.
The Powerdrive 221’s center section has been reduced in diameter. It now boasts a more positive hand feel especially when doing one handed unhooked tricks. The new, softer EVA grip now covers the entire bar.
If hang time, performance freestyle or freeriding is your thing then the Crossbow is your kite. Ride the second generation of the bow kite which started the revolution and see for yourself why kitesurfing has changed forever.
