Strut Set Escape V7-V8 17m PLKB AKPL4417S

Strut Set Escape V7-V8 17m PLKB AKPL4417S

Description:

The PLKB Strut Set for Escape V7–V8 17m tube kites is a direct-replacement inflatable strut assembly designed to restore structure, stability and flight performance to your 17m Escape V7 or V8 kite. Constructed with reinforced canopy fabric and internal TPU bladders, the set provides a rigid, durable profile that maintains the kite’s intended shape under load and in a variety of wind conditions. Precision sewing, reinforced seams and robust valve fittings reduce the risk of air loss and extend service life, while the low-stretch materials improve bar feel and depower response. This replacement strut set improves handling and upwind performance, delivering more consistent lift and reduced flutter compared with worn or repaired originals. Easy to install and designed for OEM compatibility, it’s an ideal part for maintenance, rebuilding, or upgrading your tube kite. Compatible with standard Escape V7/V8 fittings and hardware; refer to manufacturer instructions for installation and inflation pressure.

Key Features:

• Ripstop canopy fabric with Dacron reinforcements for high abrasion resistance and low stretch
• Internal TPU bladder construction for reliable inflation and consistent structural firmness
• Factory-grade seams and high-pressure valve fittings to minimize leakage and simplify servicing
• OEM-compatible fit for Escape V7 and V8 17m tube kite designs — direct replacement
• Improves stability, reduces flutter and sharpens depower/turning response
• Saltwater- and UV-resistant materials for extended durability in marine environments
• Lightweight design that preserves kite handling characteristics without adding bulk
• Simplifies field repairs and routine maintenance when replacing worn struts
