The Trix is a 4 line hybrid kite with 100% depower ability.
The Trix is fitted with the GK patented A-KPO allowing to adjust your bar pressure & turning speed in a few seconds. The kite has full depower.
The Trix strut profile is full & slow for improved performance in low apparent wind speed situations such as when the kite is in the edge zone after a big cut back on the wave. The full profile of the foil also produces predictable, controlled power in the center of the power zone, giving the wakestyle riders a more manageable forgiving kite.
The arc of the Trix is hybrid & the leading edge sweeps back allowing for easy relaunch.
The Trix is great for wave riding in Mauritius where we test. On the 21M lines, it is so quick that I don’t have to lead the kite through the bottom turns. The A-KPO adjustable bridle system also allows the kite to work for varied styles of rider.
Very important : This concerns Vsonic and Trix. Adjusting your kite by moving the A-KPO bridle attachment points will give you a huge range of different kite performance styles. It only takes a few seconds to make changes. Have a trytill you get the perfect kite that fits you.
The profile and the shape of the Vsonic and Trix are probably the best compromise. Unfortunately we have not found yet a good solution to control the profile like on any sail, but we do have the ability to change the center of balance, that is the most important thing to adjust correctly. On 09 kites will be fit with less bar pressure, and more performance in low wind range.
The Trix is my kite of choice for the style I ride. Wake-style moves, unhooked tricks and kiteloops are a lot easier with this kite due to its stability & quick turning. I especially like the 9m and 12m sizes! NOAH SIMON, GK INTERNATIONAL RIDER.
