The fastest, most reactive Orbit, completely re-engineered for riders who demand the ultimate in height, speed, and control. Featuring our very own N-u80 Airframe for a lighter overall kite, with smoother, more responsive steering and bar feedback, more extreme boosting and looping, and a wider range. Its ultra-thin LE/struts, with 6 bridle points and high-velocity bridle lines, result in a faster, more forward-flying kite with a more direct feel and even greater efficiency. The 2027 Ultra has a more forward and cambered profile, stable and consistent in overpowered conditions, and a slightly higher aspect ratio than the Orbit, making it snappier in response and more dynamic in recovery.
N-u80 Composite UPE Airframe
N-u80 is woven from 100% Ultra PE, a fiber with five times the tensile strength of polyester at the same weight. It features a PET lining and cross–ply Technora reinforcement. That strength lets us build the weave in the 81–85gsm range, striking a balance between stiffness and weight.
Dynamic Torsion
N-u80 airfame pairs directional stiffness with torsional flexibility. The cross-ply Technora reinforcement and PET lining sit on the inner side only, giving the material its progressive, tuned twisting ability. This translates into a exceptionally fast-turning kite, while improving UV, tear, fold, and abrasion resistance.
Tuned for Performance
The Ultra kites are developed in collaboration with North Pro riders and tested in extreme competitive conditions. We tune them to highest performing kites.
Boost High Lift
The Orbit Ultra has a slightly higher aspect ratio than the Orbit, which makes for faster recovery, higher boosting and more hangtime.
Ultrathin High Velocity Bridle
Thinner, lower-drag primary bridles (attached to LE) are lighter and lower drag, helping to compensate for the weight of the additional bridle points, which help to support the slimmer LE.
Consistent Stability
The Orbit Ultra has a more forward and cambered profile for consistent stability in a wide range, especially when overpowered.
Low Drag Slim LE
The 2026 Orbit Ultra is fast-flying with more direct turning, vertical lift, and improved low-end. The thinner LE also increases the loop speed, so it can fly forward and catch you quicker.
Aerodynamic Contoured PTP2
A zigzag-shaped single transition panel helps reduce spanwise tension in the seams, smooths out the profile shape, and creates a cleaner transition from the leading edge to the canopy.
