Key differences between the 2025 and 2026 models;
Key Differences
Lighter Bar Pressure: A primary feedback point for the 2026 model is significantly lighter bar pressure, which makes the kite feel more responsive and closer to a three-strut kite's agility while maintaining five-strut stability.
Faster Turning Speed: The 2026 version offers improved turning speed, with tighter and faster loops, leading to a more playful and dynamic ride compared to the 2025 model's smoother, more delayed turn.
Upgraded Airframe Inflation System: The 2026 Switchblade features an improved Airframe inflation system, allowing for faster and more even inflation. The 2025 model uses the Sprint 3.0 system.
Apex Bridle System: The 2026 model features new Apex bridles with thinner, low-stretch lines for more efficient load transfer and precise steering. The 2025 model also uses the Apex bridle system, but the 2026 refines it further.
Refined Aerodynamics: Both models utilize "Pure Form panels" and refined aerodynamic profiles, but the 2026 version is described as having cleaner lift and smoother airflow, contributing to its enhanced performance.
Reduced Weight: Through the use of "Featherlite bladders" and the Ultra HT material, the 2026 model is generally lighter than the previous version, improving light wind performance and overall feel.
