Open Cell Kite Ibex UL Orange-Blue 12m PLKB PL210702121
Description: The PLKB Ibex UL is an open-cell depower foil kite engineered as a true back‑country specialist, designed to get you safely up and down mountain slopes in a wide range of wind conditions. Its ultralight construction uses high-quality 32 g/m² Porcher Marine Skytex and is available in 27- or 29-cell layouts to balance low weight with crisp aerodynamic shape. Structural H- and D-ribs, tension straps across the wing and mesh-covered inlets create an exceptionally stiff and stable profile and arc, while the D-rib layout reduces bridle complexity to boost performance and responsiveness. The kite is finished with premium Liros bridles and Ronstan Orbit Blocks for precise handling and smooth deployments. A dedicated 5th-line safety system ensures controlled, safe landings on varied terrain, making the Ibex UL as secure as it is performance-oriented. Overall, the design emphasizes stability, lightness and durability — ideal for long approaches and technical backcountry launches.
