4 Free Furia Style. FURIA 2 Overview: -Freestyle -Direct bar feel, wide wind range, simplicity. -7, 9, 11, 13m². -Equipped with the new F2 bar. Simplicity and 2 bar size in 1. -Single Inflation. Takoon is proud to introduce the new FURIA2. We proved that a SLE kite can also be a high performance freestyle kite, technical and fast with all the latest features: wide wind range, easy re-launch and more safety in simplicity. After the huge success of the first generation, we bring again new improvements thanks to your feedback. The Furia2 is noticeably more powerful in the low end with increased bar pressure. The Furia progresses and evolves with the modern freestyle movement. Available in 7, 9, 11 and 13m². Sizes Knots Feeling: In the hands, the Furia is ultra light and responsive. The bar feeling is very direct (C kite like) allowing you to be precise in your flying. And flying is definitely the right expression as the Furia is a really fast kite, allowing you to easily go for big kite loops and big tricks. Jumping ability is excellent with instant punch upwards and a huge amount of lift and hang-time. While riding, the kite never stalls out of the sky. Depower is efficient, just push the bar and you lose power immediately, ideal for gusty conditions. Upwind ability is also excellent. The new F2 bar is easy to handle and to use.

5 F2 BAR The F2 bar comes with the Furia2 kite. That s the concept: to always fully integrate kite and bar. The new bar lets you trim easily the power of the kite while riding, and show a perfectly integrated safety leash. The depower line and the safety line are covered with a PU tube for better aging and more control. Ride all kite sizes with only one bar. Fits to Nova3 and enova2. Pulley on top of depower line reduces wear. Longer strap for easily adjusting the power of your kite, no matter the length of your arms. Black ball with screw inside instead of glue. Less wear. Hook Velcro on neoprene over clam cleat and loop Velcro on strap. Grip the trim line easily so no more dangling while riding de-powered. Cousins Ultimate flying lines. PU extension, prevent rope from rattling. Foam protection. Bar winder 2 bar size in 1! 3D grip, more comfort and precision. Option Integrated safety line. Mini clam cleat system lets you trim the power of the kite. Swivel to untwist the safety leash after rotation. Quick release, Afnor certified. Security pin for unhooked riding. Connection to safety line with a leah with full foam protection and quick release. Option. An adjustable stopper is delivered with the F2 bar. Easy to set up, it makes sure that the bar stays in your preferred position all the time.

6 What s new? -More power particularly in the larger sizes. We added profile in the centre of the kite. This new profile depth offers a more powerful kite in low end and a better lift, with the same performance in high end for which the Furia is renowned. -More bar pressure and a direct bar feel. The Furia2 profile has moved back, offering a direct and homogeneous reactivity and a little more bar pressure compare to the Furia1. This bar pressure gives you more confidence to make tricks. -Shorter tips with a flatter profile The length of the tips has been reduced in order to reduce drag and avoid the vibrations on the tips when the kite is depowered. Flying becomes easier and more precise. This surface reduction also allows for an easier relaunch due to the reduction of the amount of kite in the water. FURIA 1 FURIA 2 Comparison with the Nova3 and the enova2: Takoon kite range (Furia2 / Nova3 / enova2) is designed to work together to meet every demand. Performance /Technology/ Simplicity. Furia2 gets more turning ability compared to Nova3 and enova2. Nova3 is the freeride kite, with great all round performance. The enova2, with its stability and easy re-launch, is a sure kite for you to progress on indefinitely. Nova3 and enova2 are much easier to handle. Which rider for the furia? Experts riders who are looking for high performance C-kite feeling combined with wide wind range and depower which are traditionally only found in a bridled kite.

The control system remains equipped with a regular quick release in case of emergency and also has a safety leash. Re-launching : By pulling on the rear line, the kite moves to the edge of the window and is ready for relaunch. Thanks to the NOVA3 optimized bridle, no need to swim towards the kite to make it rotate. No need to re-load a safety system after a «safety action».

12 TAKOON/KITE/ENOVA2 Progress on a real Bow kite -Program: freeride, wave riding, wake style. -Simplicity, safety, easy re-launch, huge wind range. -Equipped with the new -Sizes : 5, 7, 9, 12m² After the success of the first enova generation, Takoon is proud to introduce the enova2, developed in close relationship with the Takoon centers all over the world. The main objective was obvious, to offer a kite easy to handle, for all riders who want to ride with simple and high-performance equipment. The enova2 kite adheres to the new standards on safety. This is the perfect kite to give a good kick to your progression, without having to change the kite after 6 months. -Riding feeling : The enova2 is a kite really easy to handle while keeping a great level of performance. It is a light kite, stable and easy to relaunch. This second generation is more rigid in the air and has more reactivity. Bar pressure is direct and gives accurate kite control and depower is more efficient.

13 TAKOON/KITE/ENOVA2 -What's new? -The overall performance is optimised thanks to a more aerodynamical profile. The new leading edge design which enables a direct efforts transfer, the independent profile between the center and the tips, the struts unique location and the narrow tips, all these characteristics make the enova2 more aerodynamical.the enova2 is also much more rigid, it s easy to use because it s not a high aspect ratio. - The Dacron material on the tips offers more stiffness. That aspect plus the specific bridle system and the new kite shape all give the kite more reactivity - The enova2 is still very light because it only has 5 struts, and it s a kite that has a medium aspect ratio. All this make the kite fly better, it never falls out of the sky, it s ideal for wave riding and tricks. -Depower ability is really efficient with a good bar feeling, light but still effective. Thanks to the innovative enova2 shape, depower ability increases by 15%, so we reduced the depower length necessary in order to reduce kite power. -The enova2 is reinforced at the critical points in order to obtain a strong and reliable kite. This kind of flat profile kite offers a huge wind range and an easy re-launch by just pulling on a rear line. Improving the overall performance of the kite hasn t been done to the detriment of other aspects of the kite. -Wind range : Sizes 5m² 7m² 9m² 12m² Knots 22<39 19<37 15>34 10<25 -Colorways: -Details: -What kind of rider does the enova2 suits?
