Whenever you pull on your bar to turn your kite, most of your steering input is absorbed by the structure of the LE. The wingtips flare as they steer the kite, but the canopy flare never extends much beyond the wingtips. This is because the LE cloth absorbs most of the steering input. With Twister Tech, ring shaped segments of Kevlar reinforced fabric are built into the leading edge, allowing each canopy segment to twist independently in response to rider steering input. Twister Tech allows your steering input to flare more of the canopy, not just the wingtip panels. With more of your canopy able to react to your steering input, you get faster and tighter turning. How is twister Tech integrated into the LE? Twister tech is built into the leading edge using an internally reinforced construction. Internal tape seams are double stitched to form a sandwich construction that is both strong and light. Does Twister Tech affect the durability of the leading edge? The Twister Tech inserts are b
