Kite Bladder Escape V8 6m PLKB AKPL4406

Kite Bladder Escape V8 6m PLKB AKPL4406

Description:

The Kite Bladder Escape V8 6m is a replacement leading-edge (LE) bladder designed specifically for PLKB Escape V7 and V8 tube-kite models. Manufactured from high-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film with reinforced welds, it provides a reliable, airtight core that restores the kite’s original profile and performance. Its precision inflation valve and optimized internal volume ensure consistent inflation, quick setup, and easy deflation for transport or repairs. The bladder’s construction resists abrasion, saltwater and UV exposure, helping maintain shape and durability under regular use. Lightweight and engineered to match the Escape V-series contours, this bladder improves flight stability, upwind performance and relaunch behavior compared to a worn or damaged bladder. Easy to fit and serviceable, it’s an essential spare for riders who want to keep their 6m Escape V7/V8 flying at peak efficiency.

Key Features:

• High-grade TPU bladder film with reinforced, double-welded seams for leak resistance and durability
• Precision inflation/deflation valve for fast pumping and secure sealing
• Engineered internal volume to preserve original leading-edge profile and aerodynamic performance
• Saltwater- and UV-resistant materials to extend service life in marine environments
