The ultimate Big Air weapon
Created for the needs of demanding adrenalin junkies, the XS is the ultimate Big Air weapon that's fast and precise and aims for the moon. Breaking boundaries for height and hangtime, the XS has a direct feel for perfect timing, ready to take off and smash your limits.

Modified angle of attack
The XS is as grunty as it gets, delivering raw power to the most extreme radical moves. For V5 the maximum loop speed has been developed, achieved through a modified arc and angle of attack. This sophisticated delta hybrid design has a high aspect ratio that balances power with ease of handling, allowing adrenaline junkies of all levels to hit full send.

Highly efficient
Efficiency and hangtime are enhanced by a flattened arc, making the XS intuitive to steer and extremely responsive. The XS has the perfect sweep in the wingtips as well as the optimum canopy curve to achieve fantastic low-end performance. This assists progressing riders and aids upwind travel to get you back in the zone fast, even in less favourable conditions.

Bombproof construction
The light five-strut frame delivers stability in all situations and withstands the extreme forces in radical Big Air. Its explosive lift is met with bombproof construction as the load distribution offers enhanced stability and endurance, even over time.

New for V5
In addition to the modified angle of attack, the XS V5 has improved canopy tension for a cleaner profile, and new panel cuts in the canopy distribute force more efficiently. The bar pressure has been reduced and offers more balance, and a new 3D bridle deflector reduces bridle catch protecting the kite from inverting.

Who is it for?
A must-have kite for radical riders, the XS V5 is Big Air's best friend. Celebrated by Eleveight Team Riders the world over, the XS has been put to the test by storm chasers and shown surprising versatility in handling freestyle and waves alike. For those that want to be catapulted with forward momentum for powerful megaloops or extended hangtime, the XS is the rocketship of choice.

Construction Features

Increased longevity

XT Extreme High Tenacity Cloth
XT cloth has extremely high tenacity and is used in Eleveight's inflatable structures to allow them to twist while balancing stability and stiffness. XT ensures high performance and is developed exclusively in partnership with Teijin, the leading supplier of sailcloth materials. It features a highly specialised UV-resistant coating and is woven to produce a structure that guarantees strength.

Double Bond Canopy
To ensure your kite can take a beating, every seam is glued and stitched for maximum durability.

Quick Flow
The large diameter of the valves and strut connectors ensures fast, easy inflation and deflation of your kite without the need for a hose connector.

Strut Force Distribution
Each Strut has a double strut head reinforcement to create a solid inflatable kite frame. This allows for optimum turning and smoother handling.

Short Bridle
The short pulley-free 5-point bridle setup enhances the kite's turning speed and agility. Your bar input is direct, while the risk of catching the wingtip is reduced.

3D Bridle Deflector
The redesigned 3D bridle deflector has structural reinforcement covering the closing seam. It decreases the possibility of bridle wrap, making water starts easier and safer.

Canopy Guards
Strategically placed Extreme Tenacity (XT) cloth reinforcements eliminate canopy wear and tear including pinholes caused by the valves.

German Made PU Bladder Material
A kite's bladder is the core element of its inflatable structure so we use the toughest and lightest material available, made in Germany. Engineered specifically for kites, our material defines the kite’s weight and durability.

Safe Connect
Rig your kite safely and avoid mixing up lines with the kook-proof front and backline connection points.

Easy Trim
Fly the kite your way by easily switching between backline trim options with the pull-to-pull tags. Two steering line settings are available, allowing you to choose your turning speed and bar pressure.

Leading Edge Load Dynamic Super Seam
A triple-reinforced closing seam along the leading edge makes it practically indestructible. The center segments have stronger reinforcements as the material load is much higher compared to the smaller diameter of the wingtips.

Ultra-Light Load Diffuser
Angled reinforcements along the trailing edge diffuse the load and strain on the canopy, making it more durable while improving kite stability and longevity.

Turning Trim Setting
Trim the kite according to your riding style and the wind conditions by switching between different bridle line turning settings. The pivot set-up makes the kite faster and offers more depower, while the tip set-up increases the turning radius and offers more power and grunt. All our kites have the standard middle set-up pre-selected to offer the best balance.

2 Step Force Transition
The load transition between the inflatable frame structure and the ripstop material is optimised for improved stability and durability. An extra layer of double ripstop sits between the inflatable structure and the X4 ripstop to protect the load.
