Mach1
Description
Go much bigger and faster in less wind. This is THE gateway for advanced freeriders to enjoy even more epic sessions while rediscovering the awesome sensation of kite power that got them hooked in the beginning.

RACE TO THE SKIES
Go much bigger and faster in less wind. This is THE gateway for advanced freeriders to enjoy even more epic sessions while rediscovering the awesome sensation of kite power that got them hooked in the beginning.
We’ve taken the most powerful elements of race kite design and re-tuned them to suit a wider range of riders, delivering rocket-fuelled big air twin-tip performance and fluid, high-speed riding on a hydrofoil.
Developed from the R1 V4 and Chrono DNA, the Mach 1 sets a new benchmark for freeride performance possibilities, especially in lighter winds.
PERFORMANCE
- High-performance all-round foil kite
- Amazing jumping and hangtime, even in light winds
- R1 race kite design base, re-tuned for all-round freeriding
- Increased accessibility, but some suitable experience still required
TUNING AND DESIGN
- High-aspect-ratio design
- Designed to fly on 17m or 21m lines
- 4 bridle line levels for ease of use, control and longevity
- Sheathed bridle lines for easy set-up and durability
- Lightweight but durable construction
- Transverse sail shaping
FLYING LINE LENGTH
We recommend flying the Mach1 with 17m or 21m lines depending on conditions, discipline and rider preferences.
Choose to ride with 21m lines as an easy standard length for your first rides, in lighter winds or on larger kite sizes for all round riding.
When using 17m lines the Mach1’s handling becomes more dynamic, responsive and direct – well suited to hydrofoiling. Shorter lines also increase jumping performance as you’ll feel an increased connection to the kite, while in stronger winds the upwind ability will also be enhanced.
