Teijin, a leading supplier of polyester fabrics and sail materials for marine sports, partnered with Duotone to create TRINITY TX. This exclusive 3x2 canopy material has proven to be far superior in terms of durability and dynamic performance compared to other materials.
The 3x2 yarn combination in TRINITY TX offers the best solution in terms of performance and durability, surpassing both 2x2 and 4x4 yarn solutions. It's the ultimate material designed to withstand the test of time.
As kite design evolves, the canopy needs to handle increasing forces. Load-Distribution-Panels are incorporated to evenly distribute the forces, ensuring the kite maintains its shape even under extreme loads. This results in a smoother and consistent performance in all riding conditions.
The pigtails play a crucial role in distributing the load of the line connections to the kite, minimizing the risk of fatigue, reducing distortion, and promoting smooth steering.
The kite's line connection points are kook proof, preventing accidents by ensuring correct line connections during rigging.
The leading edges are highly durable thanks to a specially reinforced heavy-duty closing seam. The Dacron material is additionally supported by self-sticky Insignia Tape and double stitching. The Heavy Duty Leading Edge Closing Seam can withstand high tensions and diagonal forces.
This construction enables a controlled distribution of forces between the strut and leading edge. The struts are fully connected to the leading edge using a flexible Dyneema line, promoting increased canopy tension and a clean profile.
The Anti Snag webbing prevents line tangling around the kite's tip, making waterstarts easier and enhancing safety.
A narrower trailing edge, constructed with a lighter combination of materials, reduces wear and creates a sleeker kite profile.
