2027 Reach Ultra | "Another banger of a kite from North" - Jason van Montreal

Kite reviewer Jason van Montreal took the new Reach Ultra out in Auckland, New Zealand, and put it through its paces across boosting, hang time, looping and confidence building. The verdict? A rider-friendly rocket that makes progression feel easy again in almost all conditions.

Light on the bar and instantly connected, the Reach Ultra is “one of the easiest high-speed kites to time and track through the window.” It launches you skyward in light to medium winds, and it earned a spot on Jason’s very short list of the easiest loopers he has ever flown. Built as a do-it-all freeride kite, it truly comes alive in big air.

For the ultimate North quiver, Jason’s pick is the Reach Ultra from 9 m and up, paired with the Orbit in the smaller sizes for max-wind sessions.
