The industry's longest-running and most successful kite returns for its 17th year, and what a year it is.
The kite that not only pioneered a style of riding but also shaped an entire generation of kiters has evolved into the highest performing Switchblade to date.
Building upon the established Switchblade DNA, the innovative minds at Design Works have refined this 5-strut design with new technologies, construction techniques, and internal adjustments, resulting in a kite that feels more playful and lighter while maintaining predictability and stability.
This Lite Series kite utilizes HTD Lite materials, making it the lightest Switchblade ever. Coupled with Integrated Structural Canopy (ISC), we have significantly reduced the kite's weight while enhancing longevity and improving steering responsiveness.
NANO RIPSTOP CANOPY
Sets the standard in durability, stability, and responsiveness.
REFINED SIMPLICITY
A balanced bridle without pulleys provides a lighter, faster-turning, and more responsive kite, catering to a broader range of users and offering better control for jumping.
ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE
The industry's most versatile kite excels across a wide range of conditions and riding styles.
RIDICULOUSLY HIGH HANG TIMES
Its stable 5-strut platform ensures stability in higher winds, with a wide arc for extended glide.
EXCELLENT UPWIND PERFORMANCE
The unique canopy profile ensures effortless upwind performance.
BI-DIRECTIONAL PURE PROFILE PANELS
Our smoothest and most accurately 3D-shaped panels to date ensure seamless transitions between segmented leading edges and curved canopies.
SWITCHBLADE DNA
DNA defines who or what we are. In redesigning the kite, we maintained the core DNA of the Switchblade while integrating new, updated features based on Design Works' innovations.
HTD LITE
A refined canopy design reduces weight, combined with a full HTD Lite Dacron skeleton for the lightest, most responsive kite to date, enhancing its range and overall performance.
NANO RIPSTOP CANOPY
Nano Ripstop, a 55 g/m² material with a 3mm double ripstop pattern, offers double the canopy tear strength. Its smaller ripstop pattern increases cell count per panel.
SPRINT 3.0
The Sprint 3.0 inflation system maximizes airflow from the leading edge to the strut, featuring new straight and angled valves to prevent tube kinking. Its secure fit design ensures easy maintenance.
