Open Cell Kite Ibex UL Blue-Orange 14m PLKB PL210702141

Description: The PLKB Ibex UL is an open-cell depower foil kite engineered as a backcountry specialist for hike-and-fly and alpine launches, capable of getting you safely up a mountain in a wide range of wind conditions. Built with ultralight 32 g Porcher Marine Skytex and reinforced with H- and D-ribs, tension straps and mesh-covered inlets, the Ibex UL delivers exceptional rigidity and a consistently stiff wing shape. Its stable profile and arc reduce pitch and feedback, while the reduced bridle architecture (enabled by D-ribs) improves performance and responsiveness. Available in 27- and 29-cell configurations, the design balances refined aerodynamic efficiency with forgiving handling. A dedicated 5th line safety system guarantees controlled, safe landings in confined or variable terrain, while Liros bridles and Ronstan Orbit Blocks provide precise, low-friction control for accurate steering and depower.

Key Features: - Ultralight 32 g Porcher Marine Skytex canopy for reduced pack weight and improved hikeability
- Open-cell depower foil layout optimized for backcountry launches and variable winds
- Reinforced H- and D-ribs with tension straps for increased structural stiffness and a stable airfoil
- Mesh-covered inlets to maintain shape and airflow while keeping weight low
- Choice of 27 or 29 cell counts to suit different performance and handling preferences
- Reduced bridle system for improved feel and higher performance without sacrificing safety
- 5th line safety system for reliable depower and controlled landings in tight spots
