Cabrinha 2026 Nitro APEX — Big-Air / Megaloop Kite
Ultra-stiff APEX frame, explosive lift and precision control for record-height boosts and technical loops.
Overview
The Nitro APEX 2026 is built to go higher, faster and farther. A next-generation APEX airframe pairs a refined five-strut design with a fast, efficient canopy for instant load-up, explosive vertical lift and confident megaloops that catch you every time. Taut draft stability keeps power clean through gusts, while direct bar feedback makes timing your takeoff and heli-loops intuitive and repeatable.
Key Features
- APEX Airframe — Ultra-rigid leading edge and struts for maximum load, pop and top-end stability.
- 5-Strut Platform — Locked-in canopy for big wind range, minimal deformation and precise loops.
- High-aspect outline — Fast climb rate, huge hangtime and efficient upwind performance.
- Optimized wingtip geometry — Rapid turning initiation with reliable catch after loops.
- Balanced bar pressure — Direct, confidence-building feedback without fatigue.
- Reinforced high-wear zones — Durable, lightweight materials where they matter most.
- Fast relaunch — Rolls to the edge quickly so you can get back to sending.
Who Is It For?
Riders focused on big-air progression, megaloops and Woo records who want a kite that stays composed in strong, gusty wind and delivers predictable takeoff, height and catch. Ideal for powered twin-tip riding and high-wind sessions.

- For megaloops, send with commitment and keep speed; spot the catch as the kite climbs back through the window.
- Trim depower to maintain edge control when fully lit; add a touch of power for floaty downloops.
