Open Cell Kite Ibex Blue-Orange 10m PLKB PL210701101

Open Cell Kite Ibex Blue-Orange 10m PLKB PL210701101

Description:

The PLKB Ibex is an open-cell depower foil designed as a true back-country specialist, built to reliably get you up and down mountains in a wide range of wind conditions. Its reinforced H and D ribs, tension straps across the wing and mesh-covered inlets deliver exceptional rigidity and maintain a precise, stable profile even under load. Constructed from high-quality 40D canopy fabric and available with 27 or 29 cells, the Ibex combines lightweight materials with a stiff airframe for consistent flight and efficient depower. The use of D ribs allowed PLKB to reduce bridle complexity, increasing responsiveness and overall performance while preserving safety. Stop 'n Go 5-line safety guarantees secure, controlled landings on varied terrain, and premium components—Liros bridles and Ronstan Orbit Blocks—provide smooth, reliable handling and long-term durability. This kite is optimized for riders who need predictable, stiff wing behavior and efficient depower in challenging back-country or alpine conditions. Compatible with standard foil harnesses, depower bars and leash systems, the Ibex integrates easily into a full back-country kite setup.
