Naish PIVOT 2020 TEST Kite 11m

Naish PIVOT 2020 - The ultimate kite for versatility & high performance

Why is Naish PIVOT 2020 unique?

The first dedicated freeride kite that became the kite of choice of Kevin Langeree that won him 2018 Red Bull King of the Air.

Naish PIVOT 2020 - What’s new?

This year we have fine tuned the tension in the whole canopy by adding a seam that spreads the back line tension further towards the center of the kite for an even more powerful and balanced kite as well as the new OnePoint and SureLock Inflation System.

2 times winner of Red Bull King of the Air, the Pivot is direct, versatile and efficient, maintaining its standout performer status in the Naish kite line. Perfect for both novice and professional kiters alike, the Pivot provides plenty of sheet-in-and-go, predictable power, direct bar pressure, easy jumping and control in the air. The superior choice for versatile performance, the Pivot maintains a large wind range, proving dynamic and responsive in everything from waves to flat water.

It has earned an impressive reputation for its intuitive steering and tight, quick axis of rotation and this new generation continues to push its capabilities even further. With the Quad-Tex material, we have managed to remove heavy dacron panels along the struts—reducing weight while retaining canopy rigidity. The leading edge seam is made with our exclusive thread that has tested off the charts in overall strength. The Pivot also comes with our exclusive Bladder Lock, which eliminates the risk of bladder movement in the leading edge and struts to ensure they stay in place when inflating, deflating, crashing or  packing.

While the Pivot has received various tweaks and improvements that enhance the performance characteristics, it continues to stay true to its loyal following and remain as one of the most sought after kites worldwide.

Naish PIVOT 2020 Kite Technology

• Swept Arc: The arc generates maximum projected area for power and lift while the swept design provides precision turning, control and ideal relaunch capabilities.
• Evolutive Profile: The profile’s depth and shape evolves along the airfoil, helping create a fast flying, stable kite with less back stalling. The center sections generate power thanks to a deeper profile, while the flatter profile in the tips minimizes drag and allows faster turning.
• Radial Segmented Arc: The radial segmented shape uses short linear segments to accurately form the kite’s arc.
• Low Drag Wing Tip: This wing tip geometry decreases the overall surface area of the non-lifting portion, greatly reducing drag. The more efficient the lift/drag ratio becomes, the faster the wing tip can move through the air. This allows the kite to be both quicker and more responsive through turns.

Naish PIVOT 2020 Kite Construction

• MOLDED TE REINFORCEMENT: Optimal trailing edge protection with a molded reinforcement at the end of each strut.
• MOLDED BUMPERS: Large thermo-molded bumpers wrap around the leading edge, which provide seam protection when landing and launching the kite.
• ARAMID PATCHES: Patches along LE segments to protect the seams.
• 2-PIECE LEADING EDGE: This construction provides better twist control of the leading edge, and improves turning performance.
