HIGH PERFORMANCE FREERIDE / BIG AIR

SKU: K4KOMOTOD012005

Design Works launches the next generation of Moto X.

Starting out with a goal to make the best Big Air Kite with Aluula materials, Pat Goodman quickly changed course and realized that with the use of Aluula, what we learnt on the Nitro and Moto X, as well as where the sport has gone, makes the attributes of a 3 strut kite more suitable than ever. This new Moto X has taken not only Big Air to a new level, but also recreational freeriding. Whether you want a kite to use in a larger wind range, want to jump higher than your friends, or compete on the world big air circuit, the new Design Works Moto X is the next generation kite to get you there.

Key Features

ALUULA AIRFRAME

Lightweight, ultra strong, extremely stable with incredible response. The aluula material epitomizes the Design Works ethos of using the highest performing materials to achieve best in class products.

ON DEMAND STEERING

Light and fast yet surprisingly easy to fly. Even if you're not a pro the benefits can be felt immediately out of the box. This kite will take your riding to all new levels.

3 STRUT PLATFORM

Aluula is inherently very stiff with less deformation compared to normal dacrons, it enabled the design team to decide on a 3 strut platform giving it a lighter weight and increased turning response.

DOUBLE TROUBLE

The kite to help unlock your first double (or triple!?) When style and performance is your game, tap into the Moto X DW to unlock new possibilities.

BIG AIR CERTIFIED

WIth a blank canvas and carte blanche design philosophy Pat Goodman's sole goal was to create Cabrinha's highest jumping kite ever created.

REFINED SIZING

An individual focus was made for every size in the range. From doubles in the smaller sizes through to exceptional big air & hang time performance in the 12m, get ready to smash personal bests whatever the wind.

"It's a boosting machine with incredible light bar pressure. The Aluula frame, 3 strut design and 7 point attachment bridle makes it the most stable kite i've ever flown. This is especially useful when riding in the strongest of wind conditions."- Stijn Mul

"It's got amazing steering...light and fast. It's also quite wide and flat compared to some of the other kites that are out there in the same genre, so it gives you amazing hangtime and glide..." - Pat Goodman (Cabrinha Kite Designer)

ALUULA AIRFRAME

A key property of Aluula is its unparalleled stability providing exceptional rigidity to inflatable structures.

ALUULA

Aluula is fully waterproof with exceptional UV resistance and incredible low water absorbption properties.

7 POINT BRIDLE

The unique 7 point bridle attachment design helps give maximum stability in high winds and eliminates deformation of the LE during kiteloops.

SPRINT 3.0

The Sprint 3.0 inflation system increases air flow from leading edge to the strut. The straight and angled valves allow for no kinking of the inflation tube. It's secure fit design also allows for easy maintenance.

NANO RIPSTOP CANOPY

A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the kite's design properties are supported by a stable and reactive kite material. Nano Ripstop does just that.

BULLET PROOF BUMPERS

These new Durable TPU bumpers are strong, lightweight and durable. They crossover protecting the canopy to LE sewing. A new manufacturing process helps with abrasion when the kite is resting on a hard surface.

EXPANDAPACK KITE BAG DW

A limited edition stylish expanding backpack unique to the Moto Design Works allows for fast pack down and comfy transportation of your kite, pump and control system. Easily Expands to carry multiple kites in one bag leading to more adventure and less faff!

We tasked Pat with an initial challenge. To take our Big Air international team to all new levels and thus the Design Works project started. With a blank canvas ahead, Pat had carte blanche to choose what materials and what design to use, and the first Aluula 5 strut kites were created. Through months of testing, Pat wanted to explore a reduced strut option to see if it opened up more doors and opportunities. We weren’t disappointed. An early prototype took Stijn Mul to the sky during King of the Air, and since then development has been at a rapid pace in order to bring this product to the market.
