PLKB Ibex UltraLight Open-cell Depower Foil Kite

PLKB Ibex UltraLight Depower Foil Kite a true back-country specialist that can get you safe up any mountain in any wind condition. For maximum performance PLKB introduced the Ibex Ultralight. The Ultralight is made of high quality 32gr Porcher Marine Skytex and comes with 27 and 29 cells. The 5th line safety guarantuees safe landings on any location. The Ibex is finished with Liros bridles and Ronstan Orbit Blocks for precise handling.

Ibex kites are super rigid due to the H and D ribs, tension straps across the wing and mesh covered inlets for an even stiffer shape. Ibex’s Profile and Arc were designed to be as stable as possible. With the use of D ribs, the Ibex lost much of its bridles to increase performance.

For the best performance you should fly the Ibex with the Compass Bar LEI on 22m lines. Note that you need to order the Compass LEI Bar (22m) and complement it with a 5th line set and Brake line. PLKB do not offer a dedicated 5-line bar any longer to stay flexible with demand. Note that the Compass Foil bar has 18m lines and can not be complemented with the 22m 5th line set.
