Description

The all-new Sic Raptor kite has been designed and rigorously tested by the team in Maui and Europe. Working in collaboration with sister company CORE Kiteboarding, a leader in kite design and technology, SIC is proud to introduce this performance kite series.

The leading edge of the kite utilizes ultra-stiff, non-stretch Dacron ExoTex®, which incorporates a unique yarn structure and emulsion (protective coating) process that allows for a high pressure air cell and substantially increases the strength and stiffness of the tube. The non-stretch Dacron improves airflow, flight stability and prevents seam bulging at the leading edge. Expect tight turns, explosive lift and smooth sailing upwind.

The industry leading CORETEX® TRIPLE RIPSTOP canopy fabric was developed by CORE Kiteboarding and is only available on SIC Raptor kites. This high performance fabric is protected and reinforced by a unique coating process. CORETEX® sets the standard for tensile strength, tear strength, UV protection, elongation and overall durability.

Feel the tight, crisp signature that only a wing constructed of CORETEX® can provide. The high aspect ratio of the kite provides tremendous power and, with its shorter span, reduces the risk of the kite tip dragging in the water when powering up, tacking, gybing and landing.

The Sic Raptor uses an inlet panel connecting the canopy to the control strut, ensuring that the kite maintains the most efficient aerodynamic profile during acceleration and cruising.

Web handle loops help maintain control, attitude and comfort.

The RUSH-AIR valve system allows you to quickly inflate the wing to the required inflation pressure with little effort and allows you to deflate the wing when adjusting the pressure or when you want to store the wing.

EVA core handles: Enjoy comfort, control and agility.
In-flow panel design: Stabilizes the shape of the canopy.
Exclusive exotex® dacron fabric structure: Allows for a higher pressure cell and greatly increases the strength and rigidity of the tubes.
