KEY FEATURES
V3.2 BRIDLE SYSTEM
The key benefit of the V3.2 bridle is that the kite maintains steering even when completely de-powered, increasing the usable wind range and overall performance significantly while adding immense safety benefits. The positioning of the bridle attachment points on the LE of the kite, combined with the V pulleys result in lighter steering, but direct enough to feel where your kite is while riding. With a breaking strength of 550 kg, the Airush pulley was designed specifically for use on all Airush kites.
REAR LINE ADJUSTMENT
The rear lines affect the turning speed of the kite. By moving the rear lines towards the leading edge, the kite becomes static and stable, perfect for wave riding. Moving the rear lines towards the trailing edge allows the kite to move faster, perfect for foiling.
KEVLAR REINFORCEMENT
Kevlar, found in bulletproof vests, is found throughout the Airush kites. These Kevlar Reinforcements are only put in the most critical areas to protect from wearing while still minimizing weight which affects the kites performance.
XL INFLATE/DEFLATE VALVE
The XL inflate/deflate valve features an insanely easy and fast way to inflate and deflate your kite. The large opening creates maximum flow of air and reduces fatigue and stress on your pump. This in conjunction with the Airush high-velocity pump makes inflating your kite extremely fast to get you on the water as quickly as possible.
AIRUSH BUMPERS
Airush bumpers are found throughout the leading edge of the kites to reduce wear and increase durability on rough surfaces. These bumpers are key for increasing the lifespan of Airush kites.
SPS & FBI
The oversized SPS valve (Single Point Inflation System) optimizes inflation and deflation. The Fast Bladder Inflation (FBI) features increased wall thickness and oversized diameter tubing, thus eliminating tube kink, reducing stress on your pump, and enabling quick and easy inflation. The SPS cover supports the tubing, further limiting UV damage to the material and preventing over flexing when packing.

The word I would use to describe the new Lithium is *Intuitive*. It just works and it works really well! The second you launch the kite you feel at home. The kite has light bar pressure while still offering a sheet and go feel, quick turning, and offering feedback through the lines.

KITE COMPARISON
LITHIUMSESSION
LITHIUM vs. SESSION
The Lithium features a longer center chord for more parked power and bar drive. It features more sweep in the wingtip for improved relaunch.
The Square wingtips on the Session create a kite that pivots more, while the reduced sweep creates a more direct input. The Lithium has v3 pulley bridles and the Session includes both the fixed bridles and the V3 pulley bridle system.

KITE DETAILS
The new Lithium is for the rider looking for a kite that provides an endless amount of fun on the water, the Lithium is the ultimate in all-around hooked-in freeride performance kite.

The positioning of the bridle attachment points on the LE of the kite, combined with the V pulleys result in lighter steering, but direct enough to feel where your kite is while riding.
Year after year, the Lithium has been refined to meet the needs of riders who simply just love to kite.
We wanted to stay true to its roots by keeping the Lithium in the delta-hybrid, 3 strut space that proves to be the benchmark in all-around freeriding.
The changes are significant yet still hold true to those who have been following the Lithium range through its progression. You will find that the Lithium has improved jumping and hangtime, lighter, more balanced bar feeling, and overall faster steering due to the change in planform and leading edge design.
The Lithium features Techno Force D2 canopy material. This premium fabric is designed with a high-density structure using high tenacity double-coated polyester yarn in a double ripstop configuration. The double coating protects the yarn as much as possible from UV and abrasion damage. This ensures that the canopy remains as crisp and responsive for as long as possible.
With the easy-to-use design of the Lithium, it is clear why it’s the World’s favorite freeride kite!
