Strut Set Swell V4 8m PLKB AKPL90548S

Description:

The Strut Set Swell V4 8m from PLKB is a direct-replacement strut assembly engineered for Swell V3–V4 tube kite designs, restoring the kite’s original profile, stability and handling. Constructed from high-tenacity ripstop fabric with reinforced internal bladders and seam reinforcements, this strut set is built to withstand repeated inflation cycles, UV exposure and the abrasion typical of kiteboarding. Precision-shaped, pre-curved struts maintain the airfoil integrity of the canopy for cleaner depower, more consistent relaunches and predictable turning response. Lightweight yet rugged construction helps preserve low swing weight while improving overall canopy stiffness and wind-range performance. Easy-to-install fittings and factory-oriented geometry make this an efficient upgrade or repair option for keeping an 8m Swell V4 performing like new.
