REEDIN SUPERMODEL HTF2 2024
SuperModel is designed with the goal to have it react and fly to perfection. The main focus is the way it performs, feels, turns, forgives, and is predictable, no matter if we are riding a twintip, a waveboard, or a foil. The end-goal is taking your riding to the next level and making your sessions more fun.
One of our main focus points this year was weight reduction. I went to the factory and weighed every single piece that goes on the kite, then we considered if we could change it or get rid of it without compromising any strength or durability in the total construction. We specifically decided not to use thinner bladders, although an easy weight saver, we haven’t found a lighter alternative that’s just as strong yet.
Going to a 12-point bridle system, you suddenly have a lot more parameters to work with. I ended up redesigning everything in terms of tow-points and it hasn’t just improved stability, but also the way it reacts and turns, improving on literally every single size.
KEY POINTS
By reducing the total weight up to 15% compared to last year’s SUPERMODEL, flight characteristics have drastically increased. The 9m is now 450 grams lighter! Increased responsiveness, higher jumps, better low-end, faster loops, the benefits are endless.
All new bridles
Making the platform even more solid in all conditions was our goal. By adding 4 attachment points, we’ve created a kite not only more stable in nuking winds, the overall feeling of stiffness, responsiveness, and stability is instantly noticeable.
HTF 2
The introduction of Hybrid Torsion Frame is a major success, and further development and hours of testing and analysing led us to greatly improve the implementation. New strut material and an added FLEXLITE segment make it respond even faster and turn faster and smoother.
A kite looping dream
Overall work on canopy tension, seams, and trailing edge materials have resulted in significantly less chance of canopy flutter when aggressively looping, which could potentially slow down the kite. SUPERMODEL loops smoothly while accelerating through the turn, for the most confident catches.
All conditions, any discipline
SUPERMODEL will always stay true to what our riders love about it, being the ultimate do-it-all kite. Whether you’re new to a Reedin kite, or upgrading, you will feel right at home and ready for anything you want to throw at it.
Easy to ride
We all want to have the most fun possible when riding. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, your kite should be easy to ride, giving bar feedback to always feel where the kite is, so you can focus on your riding. SUPERMODEL is like an extension of your body.
