Designed by Mark Clements during the winter and spring of 2006/2007. Features
The Talon is a superb cutting-edge freestyle trick kite allowing you to express yourself with a huge range of tricks and combos. Its excellent pitch performance carries over from the Trident and incorporates Roll Bars making it yoyo and multi-wrap with ease. Yoyo Stoppers are equipped with a ‘slip-catch’. If a line tries to slip off of the Roll Bar after a ‘pop’ input, the slip-catch will save the trick and keep you flying. The leading edge material covers socket and yoyo stopper cut outs to eliminate line snags. Yoyo cover is internally reinforced for longevity. The trailing edge is heavily reinforced to ensure longevity throughout the kite’s lifetime. Leech line is adjustable. Lower leading edge spar is standard length and easily replaced with spare. Fittings on the lower spreader ends prevent snags and cutting of the lower sockets. Great freestyle trick flying with few interruptions. The Talon flows smoothly through it’s trick repertoire with great fluidity and flies cleanly all day. Non-snag, 3-piece nose webbing with no hot sealing. Removable Tip Section, Nocks and a 2-piece spine allows the kite to be packed down to under 90cm length.
