F-One Tribal

Tribal safety and performance is equal to the North Vegas 06, with a more affordable price point.

It is the kite you have been waiting for: performances and safety without compromises. The Tribal features a new-patented bridal system. The Integral System allows you to manage the kite’s power. If you let go of the bar, the Tribal no longer pulls, and places itself at the edge of the window. It “waits” for you. Simply grab the bar to get going again. For maximum safety, the “Life Line” is there to help you land the kite safely in any conditions and for easy re-launch. No compromises: we clearly dissociated the power management using the Integral System and the safety using the Life Line. This was not done at the expense of the overall performances, and we have proven that. The Tribal has demonstrated its efficiency in the Mauritius waves, and in speed with a best time of 41knots and taking first overall place at the PKRA speed in Namibia. Its design is the result of our experience and an expected evolution from our Round Tips kites such as the Impact and M5. In all areas where full power control is necessary, 95% of our riding, the Tribal is excellent. Freeride, freestyle, hang-time, speed, long distance, wave or even in school, it will amaze you.


Sensations and handling.
The truth is on the water and the Tribal will surprise you. It has a similar handling feeling as any other kite in our range. Its depower capacity is not achieve at the expense of its nature: it is light and reactive. The power is available anytime, but also can be canceled in such a way that you stop in a few yards. Full speed downwind then back upwind like a pro without losing the control of the board is now accessible to any rider. The Tribal offer new possibilities to any riders regardless of their skills. Jumps have also been made easier. Sending the kite to the zenith and powering it is all it takes to go high!

The bar is an essential element for safety and kite handling. It ought to steer the kite the best possible way yet, not limit tricks and passes. Being reliable is essential. Any breaks can jeopardize the control of your kite and put you at risks. We settled for glass and carbon (pre-soaked pre-filled) fibers cloth technology. This technology allows us to cast the bar in one shot without cutting any fibers. Thus the bar is stronger and lighter. All our attention went to the center piece, reinforced full carbon, it was designed to minimize the friction to the de-power PVC tube. The ends also in (pre-soaked pre-filled) fibers are glued with epoxy to the bar. To avoid the bar from rotating around its axis , the rear lines are connected 5 centimeters above this axis. This also allows for a better sliding of the de-power line. The molded grip offers a better feel thanks to its 3D texture. The bar comes with its bag. It features, a side zip for easy access, side pocket for line extension storage.
