Open Cell Kite Ibex Orange-Blue 8m PLKB PL210701081

Description:

The PLKB Ibex is an open-cell depower foil kite engineered as a backcountry specialist to carry you safely up and across mountains in a wide range of wind conditions. Constructed from high-quality 40D canopy fabric and available with 27 or 29 cells, the Ibex delivers a stiff, dependable wing shape thanks to H- and D-rib reinforcement, tension straps across the span, and mesh-covered inlets. Its profile and arc were optimized for maximum in-flight stability while a reduced bridle layout improves responsiveness and performance. The kite uses proven components — Liros bridles and Ronstan Orbit Blocks — for precise handling, and the Stop 'n Go 5-line safety system guarantees controlled, safe landings in varied terrain. Lightweight yet rugged, the Ibex is built to endure backcountry use and deliver consistent depower and control when you need it most. Ideal for riders who demand a reliable, performance-oriented depower foil for mountain, snow, or mixed-terrain kiting.

Recommended Use:

The PLKB Ibex is ideal for advanced recreational and professional backcountry riders who need a dependable depower foil for mountain travel, snowkiting, ski- or splitboard-assisted ascents, and mixed-terrain touring. It performs best in variable wind conditions where stability, range of depower, and controlled landings are critical. Pair the Ibex with a compatible harness, dedicated depower lines, a safety leash, and terrain-appropriate gear (skis, splitboard, or landboard) — and always use protective equipment such as a helmet and avalanche safety kit when operating in alpine environments.
