Cabrinha 04 BT:Nitro

   


The new Recon equipped BT:Nitro is the highest aspect kite in Cabrinha's range. An evolution of our competition winning Black Tip series, The BT:Nitro is the ultimate kite for high hang times and freestyle competition. The enhanced features and new body construction make it the highest performing kite in our range. In addition, the combination of Recon and the Powerlock Control System make the BT:Nitro the most sophisticated and feature rich kite on the market.


The Recon’s unique instant relaunch feature will back a downed kite out of the water in a fraction of the time it takes to perform a normal relaunch. This saves valuable time in competition. The streamline design of the Recon means that as long has you are hooked into the harness loop you are wearing a leash. Performance, Security, Durability, and Innovation. The 2004 BT:Nitro delivers on all fronts.

RECON and Powerlock Control System

Immediate Depower
 
RECON allows the rider to immediately turn off the power of the kite by activating the Recon's quick release handle. The rider then stays connected to the depowered kite by a leash which is integrated into the harness loop. As long as the rider is hooked into the harness loop, he/she is attached to the leash.  
 
Instant Relaunch
 
The same patented function that depowers the kite also serves as a relaunch feature. When the kite is leading edge down on the water or snow, it can be launched in reverse or rolled into the preferred side launch position by simply pulling on only one of the back leader lines.  
     
Spinning Leash
 
The RECON's two key components are tightly integrated into the construction of the kite as well as the control system to eliminate the added lines and tethers normally associated with conventional leashes or reverse launch systems. There is no 5th line, external wrist or harness leash, or a complex bridling system.  
 
No Additional Setup
 
There are no additional steps to set up the RECON. Just attach the 4 fly lines as you normally would to the kite and it is ready to ride. You must use a RECON equipped control system to take full advantage of all the safety functions and relaunch features.  
     
Recon Tension Fittings
 
The key component of the RECON is the patented RECON tension fitting. When the release handle is activated the front lines are lengthened. The RECON tension fitting then unseats and immediately transfers the load to the trailing edge.  
 
Snow Relaunch
 
RECON is just as important in the snow as it is in the water. What really separates a good snow kite from the rest of the pack is the ability to relaunch a downed kite off the snow. With RECON, all 2004 Cabrinha inflatable kites make the legitimate crossover into the snowkite arena as the performance kite of choice.  
     
Powerlock Control System
 
The Powerlock works just like a normal depower system. The rider hooks into a loop that is connected to the front (centerlines) of a kite. The line passes through our unique Powerlock fitting which has a simple key hole shape. The rider can simply lock the trim at full power by pulling the bar towards themselves, letting the stopper ball seat itself into the key hole. To unlock the rider only needs to rotate the control bar a quarter turn and push away to depower.  
 
Changeable Powerlock Fangs
 
The Powerlock system comes with replaceable “Fangs” that offer three levels of locking ability.
  • Aggressive Locking Fangs: for riders who ride locked more than unlocked
  • Non Aaggressive Locking Fangs: for riders who ride unlocked more than locked
  • Non Locking Fangs: for riders who prefer to never lock in
