The N-Max2 frame allows a thinner, lighter leading edge, supported by a new 5-point bridle, and the aspect ratio goes from 4.3 to 5.2 with a more forward-flying, deeper-cambered profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 18px 0 0 0; font-weight: 600; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.08em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #0f1419\"\u003e5 struts · Sizes 6 – 14 m · Wind 8 – 36+ knots · Aspect ratio 5.2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/2349\/5374\/files\/north-orbit-2026-accion-1.jpg?v=1791386039\u0026amp;width=1600\" alt=\"Rider mid-jump with the North Orbit 2026 Deep Purple kite over the sea\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; max-height: 480px; object-fit: cover; display: block\"\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"pk-sec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pk-kicker\"\u003eWHO IT'S FOR\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pk-h2\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 20px; color: #3d4752\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\"\u003eIntermediate to advanced riders who want higher jumps and more hang time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\"\u003eAnyone who wants to progress in kiteloops with a kite that flies forward and catches them quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\"\u003eAnyone looking for a latest-generation Orbit at a good price, with the same wind ranges as the 2027.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"pk-sec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pk-kicker\"\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pk-h2\"\u003eWhat makes it special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr)); column-gap: 48px; row-gap: 28px\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-family: 'Barlow Condensed', sans-serif; font-weight: 800; font-size: 22px; text-transform: uppercase\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #1b62b5\"\u003e01\u003c\/span\u003e 5-point Response bridle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #3d4752\"\u003eThe extra bridle point supports the thin leading edge and keeps the light frame stiff: controlled response, an energetic feel and more depower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-family: 'Barlow Condensed', sans-serif; font-weight: 800; font-size: 22px; text-transform: uppercase\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #1b62b5\"\u003e02\u003c\/span\u003e Thinner leading edge and struts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #3d4752\"\u003eLess drag: it flies faster, turns more directly, gives more vertical lift and performs better in light wind.
