There have been many new developments in Flexifoil’s kite design technology in the last 18 months which have given Flexifoil the ability to radically change the original Sabre design in many areas.
The entire kite has been redesigned with a new canopy shape, a new planform, a new simplified bridle layout and a completely new integrated bar and safety system.
Landboarders and snowkiters will appreciate these improvements, which aim to give the rider a distinct advantage over the conditions they may encounter. As with the rest of Flexifoil’s line up, Flexifoil have used the expertise of the best land boarders and snowkiters during the development process to ensure beginners and pro riders alike get what they need from the Sabre2.
Taking features found exclusively in Flexifoil’s highly successful kitesurf range Flexifoil have provided the Sabre2 rider with greater performance and safety. Unhooked riding, kiteloops and handle passes are now the main stay of the top riders on tour. The Sabre2 provides enough turn speed and lift to push the boundaries of top riders. A new canopy shape provides more stability and a new 5th line safety system provides total freedom to the back-country enthusiast with the safest depowerable kite on the market to date.
Whether you freeride or freestyle, the Sabre2 will not disappoint.

Invesco Perpetual Challenge
Before the Sabre was launched, Flexifoil decided to put it to the ultimate test - it helped a team of four explorers to become the fastest ever to cross the continent of Antarctica – the Invesco Perpetual Challenge.
The team, led by Patrick Woodhead, used the Sabres to kite-ski back from the South Pole. They used the first production models which were put to the test in some of the most extreme conditions on earth. Antarctica is the highest, driest and coldest continent with average temperatures of between –10 and –25 degrees Celsius, an average elevation of 8,000 feet and Katabatic winds (cold air that pours down the glacial slopes from the South Pole) that often blow at 80 mph and can exceed 180 mph. The direction of these winds can also be unpredictable which, along with the varied terrain and the heavy equipment they were pulling on their sleds, made this kiting part of their expedition even more challenging.
The Sabre performed exceptionally well and the team were more than happy with the durability and flight characteristics of the kite. More news on the expedition is available from Flexifoil.
