2024 Cabrinha Moto XL Apex Performance Light Wind and All Around Kite.  Cabrinha's new materials that compete with Duotone SLS, Airush Ho’okipa Ultra PE, and others.   The Moto XL Apex replaces and improves upon the Cabrinha Contra.

 

Threshold winds have always been the toughest challenge to any kite designer.   Do you make a powerful kite, but sacrifice turning and playfulness, or do you make a light kite, but sacrifice the low end power that get’s you up and going.

Building off the highly successful Moto X platform with the combination of the materials used in the Apex Series, Pat Goodman was able to skillfully handcraft the perfect blend between power and fun.

The lightweight Ultra HT and the new lighter weight bladders bring down the weight, but also aid in the fun lively feel of the kite.

The Moto XL Apex is the kite you need in your quiver.   The ultimate session saver, it will have you coming off the water with that look on your face which makes everyone know just how much fun you had.

3 Strut, hybrid design, low drag wing tips, draft forward profile.

KEY FEATURES

ULTRA HT

Developed exclusively for kite leading edges, this is a strong, stable, and exceptionally responsive material. Ultra HT reduces the weight of the leading edge and struts while boasting incredibly low elongation and response. A unique and proprietary coating process increases durability and performance unlike anything you have felt before.

BI-DIRECTION PURE PROFILE PANELS

The smoothest and most 3d correct shape we've ever created allowing the smoothest transition between the segmented leading edge and curved canopy.

LIGHTWIND OPTIMIZATION

Designed with the main focus to be ridden in the threshold winds where most kites can’t perform.

NANO RIPSTOP CANOPY

The benchmark in durability, stability and responsiveness.

EASY INTUITIVE RELAUNCH

The Moto XL's arc shape in conjunction with its light wind specifIc profiling delivers incredibly simple relaunch in the lightest of winds maximizing riding time and keeping you on top of the water having fun when others are swimming in.

CONTRA DNA

Contra DNA with modernized Moto agility and handling

ULTRA HT

Developed exclusively for kite leading edges, this is a strong, stable, and exceptionally responsive material. Ultra HT reduces the weight of the leading edge and struts while boasting incredibly low elongation and response. A unique and proprietary coating process increases durability and performance unlike anything you have felt before.

FEATHERLIKE BLADDERS

’The all new Apex bladders are not only 22% lighter than standard bladders, they are also through controlled elongation, able to work in harmony with UltraHT to increase response and speed of turning of the kite.

NANO RIPSTOP CANOPY

Nano Ripstop is a 55 g/m2 material with a 3mm double rip stop pattern. This micro rip stop material in unison with a newly developed coating, has given us a 2X increase in the canopy’s tear strength. A smaller rip stop pattern increases the amount of “cells” in any given panel.

APEX BRIDLES

Cabrinha's new apex bridles are thinner and have lower elongation that optimizes efficiency and steering. The reduced diameter lines increase airflow efficiency as airflow passes between the lines.

SPRINT 3.0

The Sprint 3.0 inflation system increases air flow from leading edge to the strut. The straight and angled valves allow for no kinking of the inflation tube. It's secure fit design also allows for easy maintenance.

BULLETPROOF BUMPERS

These Durable TPU bumpers are strong, lightweight and durable. They crossover protecting the canopy to LE sewing. A new manufacturing process helps with abrasion when the kite is resting on a hard surface.

EXPANDAPACK KITE BAG

An all NEW stylish expanding backpack allows for fast pack down and comfy transportation of your kite, pump and control system. Easily expands to carry multiple kites in one bag leading to more adventure and less faff!
